SINGAPORE, Dec. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Avis, one of the world's leading car rental companies, further expands its footprint in Singapore by providing access to rental vehicles at three new city locations in the Central Business District. Conveniently located at the Regus Business Centers at One Fullerton, Marina Bay Financial Center and Centennial Tower, Suntec, the new service points will serve to meet the growing demand for domestic car rental and leasing by both visiting and resident business travellers.
