Beep, beep. Avis launches agent training platform

The platform provides an overview of the company’s brands, Avis Car Rental and Budget Car Rental and features training modules, booking tools, destination and driving guides.

Avis Budget Group in Asia has announced the launch of its training platform, “Beep,” a one-stop-portal for travel trade professionals. 

The platform provides an overview of the company’s brands, Avis Car Rental and Budget Car Rental and features training modules, booking tools, destination and driving guides.

The Beep platform will make it easier for travel trade professionals to offer products and services from the two brands to their customers. Both the Avis and the Budget platforms will be rolled out simultaneously. 

The Avis platform includes the premium Avis products from its 5,500 locations in approximately 170 countries, while the Budget platforms will carry the same well-maintained and great value vehicles from approximately 3,500 locations in more than 120 countries.

Beep aims to make the booking process simpler, more efficient and rewarding for Avis Budget Group’s valuable travel trade partners with the added benefit of all bookings made through the platform being commissionable. 

Avis Budget Group will also progressively launch incentives and competitions as the platform is introduced into different countries across Asia. At initial launch, the platforms will be in English, with plans to gradually update languages to include Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai. 

Angeline Tang, regional director for leisure travel and partnerships in Asia, said, “Beep makes it easier for our trade partners to offer products and services from our two brands to their customers through a simpler and more efficient booking process, and at the same time, they can receive commission when they make a booking through Beep. 

“We are thrilled to launch the new portal for Avis and Budget and look forward to spreading the Beep word at more trade events including ITB Asia in Singapore in October 2018.”
