AVIS launches luxury ute series

Scott Murray · 0 comments

Avis Australia is now offering luxury utes as part of its “Signature Series” rental fleet offerings.

The premium car hire service will include up-market pick-ups including Toyota Hilux SR5 and Ford Ranger Wildtrak, with the Signature Series now becoming available in Tasmania as well.

At the opposite end of the rental ute scale which typically offers basic-specification models, Avis says customers wanting a more refined ute can look forward to leather interiors, climate control, sat-nav and lockable cargo trays like the hard-tonneau Hilux and a roller top Ranger.

The upper-spec utes add to Avis’ prestige rental fleet including BMW 3-Series, X1 to X5, Mercedes C-class, GLA and GLE.

Keyless entry, push-button starts, collision avoidance features and tailgate assistance (on the Ranger) will also be niceties renters can opt for from various Aussie airports and other rental outlets.

Avis Budget Group’s Pacific commercial director Ian Jones says he’s “excited to continue to grow our Signature Series offering”.

“Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger are the top selling models in Australia,” he continues.

“We are very pleased to add these luxury utes to our popular Avis Signature Series and continue to offer our customers a range of vehicles for travel, leisure or business.”
