Oberursel, September 9, 2018 – Avis Car Rental Germany, the mobility solutions company, has partnered with nextbike, the leading provider of bike sharing in Europe, to expand its mobility portfolio, offering Germans multi-modal options to get from point a to point b.
Starting in September, 100 nextbikes each with the slogan “Wenn der Weg mal weiter ist…” and the Avis Germany logo will drive through the streets in Leipzig, Cologne and Dortmund to promote the partnership.
nextbike customers will be able to book their Avis Germany rental through the bike sharing company‘s website and after booking they can enjoy a 15 percent discount on their car rental. They will also have access to various regional or seasonal offers from Avis Germany made available through the nextbike app.
In addition, customers can pick up or drop off bikes at the nextbike rental points located at Avis Germany stations in Leipzig, Cologne and Dortmund. The station locations will be displayed in the nextbike app as Avis nextbike. Those customers who are heading to pick up their car rental or dropping off their car from the Avis nextbike locations, who have the nextbike app installed and registered, will also receive 30 minutes riding time for free*.
“Consumers are increasingly using on-demand services to get from A to B. From scooters, delivery vans, cars – and bicycles”, said Martin Gruber, Managing Director of Avis for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland and the Czech Republic. “As one of the leading mobility service providers, integrated solutions are of great importance to us because we know that the journey often does not end when the car is parked. By partnering with nextbike, our customers can choose a bike for the short distance and a rental car for the long distance, or a combination of the two”.
Martin Gruber is convinced that the mobility of the future will be fully networked, integrated and available on demand. As a mobility company, Avis Germany is committed to this change and this partnership is another step in the journey.
