Veterans Advantage has teamed up with Avis Budget Group to offer U.S. active duty, military veterans, National Guardsmen and Reservists and their families a special $750 discount on the purchase of a late-model Avis Car Rental or Budget Car Rental vehicle.

Veterans Advantage members will save on competitively priced, well-maintained vehicles and will also enjoy the benefits of Avis Budget Group's no-haggle, no-hassle car sales program, a collaboration with AutoNation, Inc., America's largest automotive retailer. Benefits include the following:

   • Convenient online shopping
   • Extensive inventory of well-maintained, low-mileage vehicles still under manufacturer warranty
