I’m sad to announce that today I will be vacating my position for 4 months as Avis’ chief blogger. With my days of youth rapidly dwindly, I’ve decided to take a sabbatical and head off travelling before circumstances mean it’s too late. My travels will take me through Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and a couple of locations on the west side of the States. All very exciting (well for me anyway!).

I will still write on the blog from time to time to provide updates on my travels (if anyone is interested) and I’ll check up on what’s going on from time to time. In the meantime, Stephen will continue to be heavily involved with the blog as will a number of members from the Marketing team. I’d also like to introduce Chris Cox (or Coxy as I like to call him) who is our expert from our reservation centre. He’ll be on hand to answer all your booking questions.

I just want to say before I go what an absolute pleasure it’s been to work on the blog. It’s been a privilege having such a close dialogue with our customers (some who I am even now in regular email contact with). Your comments and feedback have really made a difference over the past year or so. Please keep them coming – it keeps everyone on their toes!

Finally, I just want to say how much I’ll miss all the team at Avis. They are really the best, most passionate people I could work with. Anyway enough of my garble… see you in 4 months!!

  2. Rob,
    Hope you have an amazing time!
    You are right in doing this before other commitments come along (don’t I know all about that…)
    Thanks for all your input on the blog, helping myself and other Avis customers with all our questions, and problems. Well not all our problems, but the Avis related ones anyway… :-)

    I’m sure I speak on behalf of all the regulars here when I say we miss you already, and looking forward to your posts while you are away!

    Have a safe trip!

    Robert

Please note: We will be moderating comments - in particular so we can block any blog spam. This means there may be a time delay before your comment goes live.

Why we love to blog

At Avis, we really do try harder. We pioneered blogging in the car rental world and we aim to make our blog much more than just an information source. You can use our blog to ask questions or tell us what’s important to you when you hire a car. We try harder because we care what you think, so we really do value your feedback.

New to car rentals? Our blog gives you tips and advice on getting the most out of your Avis car hire experience. You can find information about booking and hiring your car, safety tips, and eco driving. We also provide driving advice and the latest news about our fleet.

We understand that hiring a car is just one part of your trip, so our blog covers other aspects of holiday and business travel too. Whether you want to know more about business travel hire conditions, access to location and city guides or ideas for families travelling with children, it’s all here.

But that’s just a taster – find out more about the Avis blog.
