Avis Budget Group in the coming weeks plans to introduce special rates to entice business travelers to add leisure days to business trips,

Avis North America president Thomas Gartland today told Global Business Travel Association convention attendees in Boston. Avis would allow business travelers booking through normal channels to modify reservations to add leisure days at "bizcation" rates. To help travelers segment company and personal charges, Avis would allow preferred customers to update profiles with split-bill preferences, Gartland said. Customers today can split bills, but must do so at a counter.
