AVIS Car Rental has launched a new online auction portal called Avis Car Sales.

The new portal will enable dealers and trade buyers to purchase used Avis cars says the rental company.

Avis Car Sales has been built by CD Auction Group.  It utilises the online technology and back-office technical and administrative support of the group.

Used Avis vehicles will be processed at several sites across the UK, but all sold via the new Avis Car Sales online auction platform.

All existing registered Avis UK used vehicle buyers will be automatically enrolled onto the platform.

Nina Bell, Managing Director of Avis Budget Group UK, said:

“We’ve long held the desire to improve the efficiency of our remarketing process. Moving online is an obvious and important step in the current market but finding the right approach and partner was critical.

“After working with CD Auction Group for a number of years and using their online-only auctions first-hand, we have great confidence that we’ve partnered with the right team to provide an efficient and effective way of remarketing our used vehicles.

“Registered buyers will have access to the full mix of Avis vehicles covering a range of makes, models, ages and mileage profiles, enabling buyers to purchase via online auction or the ‘buy-it-now’ channel. The new online service facilitates 24/7 bidding and buying with dedicated account management support to help dealers using the system.”
