Mr Sriram added that Avis was constantly trying to find better ways of serving its business customers, as it realised that travelling on business could sometimes be a stressful experience. He went on to say that it was important to Avis to offer business travellers, whether they are travelling from within the Middle East or from countries outside the region, the best possible service.
