About Avis in the Philippines<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

G&S Transport Corporation (\"G&STC\") was established in April 1972 for the specific purpose of operating the Philippine license of Avis Rent A Car International. G&STC started operations in April 1972 with 6 cars and one station. Today it has a fleet of more than 450 vehicles and 17 stations throughout the country.<\/p>\r\n

Over the past 41 years of operations, Avis Philippines has operated in several segments of the car rental industry, including the airport transfer service, the car transfer segment (i.e., point-to-point pick-up and drop-off), the car-hire service (less than 24 hours rental), the chauffeur-driven rental market, and the self-driven car rental segment. The last of these is the more commonly known type of rental service throughout the developed world.<\/p>\r\n

However, in the Philippines, as in a few other rental markets, the chauffeur-driven service is traditionally more popular, because of difficult local driving conditions and the poor state of roads in these slower-growing economies.<\/p>\r\n
