VIP Shuttle Service at the Formula 1™ Foster's British Grand Prix

Avis has been appointed Official Car Rental Partner to Silverstone including the British Grand Prix, kicking off with the Avis Heliport Shuttle Service at this year’s Formula 1™ Foster’s British Grand Prix in June.

As one of the fastest and most challenging circuits on the Grand Prix calendar, the Silverstone event on the 9th-11th June promises to be one of the most exciting yet.  Avis will be at the heart of the action, providing a VIP shuttle service to escort team drivers, sponsors and celebrities to and from the on-site heliport with a fleet of 60 MPV vehicles.

Driven by the needs of its customers, Avis is leading the field with innovative services designed for speed and transparency throughout the rental experience. Avis customers can now enjoy preferential treatment, and ‘fast-track’ to their rental car when they join Avis Preferred. And returning a car with Avis Rapid Return means they literally can be ‘gone in 60 seconds’! It’s all part of the Avis ‘rental revolution’ which aims to revitalise and reinforce its ‘We Try Harder’ ethos. 

Xavier Vallee, Head of Marketing at Avis said, “With the British Grand Prix just around the corner this is a fantastic partnership for the Avis brand. Silverstone offers one of the most exciting racing calendars on the planet and Avis being a part of that is an opportunity not to be missed.”

Richard Phillips, Managing Director at Silverstone Circuits Ltd added, "The VIP Shuttle Service is an extremely important element of the British Grand Prix and we are delighted that Avis will be working with us to deliver this at the 2006 event."
