The transaction will add more than 300 vehicles to the Avis Budget Group fleet and seven airport rental locations, including Warsaw, Krakow and Gdansk.  

Mark Servodidio, President, International, Avis Budget Group, said, "We're excited to announce this transaction.  Managing both the Avis and Budget operations in Poland will enable us to drive synergies in the business as well as accelerate the enhancements to the customer experience that our licensee partner has supported for a number of years."
