|
St. Petersburg, FL � January 2002 � Payless Car Rental System, Inc. has introduced a new Corporate Account Program and an enhanced Passport Club Program to provide value and savings for small business travelers. Both programs further Payless' position and brand name in the commercial marketplace by offering a 5% discount off the lowest applicable rate.

�The programs work well together to fulfill the needs of the value-conscious commercial traveler,� said Dan Spindler, senior vice president sales and marketing. �The commercial segment is a logical extension of the Payless brand and we are confident our product is a good fit with the business traveler.�

Designed with the small business traveler in mind, the Corporate Account Program offers companies savings on car rental while providing the preferential treatment business travelers expect. Corporate Account members receive a 5% discount off the lowest applicable rate at the time of reservation and special program benefits. Some restrictions apply.

The Payless Passport Club Program is designed for the individual traveler. As a part of the program, individual renter preferences are captured in a centralized, secure database used to facilitate the rental process, enhance marketing efforts, and build brand loyalty. Passport members are also eligible for discounted rates and special program benefits.

Payless caters primarily to leisure travelers and these programs will expand the Payless niche to include the price-sensitive business traveler.
