Avis Car Sales

If you’re looking for a reliable used vehicle, why not try a rental car company? The Avis car sales division offers many of their rental cars for sale through virtual listings and partnerships with AutoNation and dealer auctions.

Buy an Avis Rental Car!

Visit the Avis Rent-A-Car sales website and browse their virtual listings of Hondas, Fords, General Motors, and Chrysler products. In order to offer discounted former rental units, Avis has partnered with AutoNation and their sales representatives to help you get the best deal. If you visit the Avis sales division, while you can search their latest inventory at prices starting at $8,000, they are only available in Florida at this time with a promise of new locations coming soon.

Dealer only auto auctions offer former rental cars from Avis Rent-A-Car to licensed dealers only.

• Memphis Auto Auction - This is one such auction house located in Memphis, Tennessee. If you live in the Memphis area, call any new or used dealership in your area and ask if they purchase cars from Memphis Auto Auctions.
• Manheim – This car auction is most likely the largest dealer only auction house in the US. With auction locations in Baltimore to Anaheim to Portland to Indiana to New Orleans along with many other locations, dealers visit this auction to purchase former Avis rental cars for resale.
• Deanco Auto Auction - Located in Dothan, Alabama, Deanco offers Avis and other rental cars for sale to dealers only. Dealers can visit Deanco online or onsite in Alabama to place bids.

Most new auto dealerships supplement their used or pre-owned inventory by purchasing rental units, including Avis cars for sale. If you’ve visited the Avis sales website and don’t live in Florida but like the types of vehicles they offer, call a dealership and ask if they carry former Avis rental cars.

Independent used car lots are also eligible to attend dealer auctions as long as they have a valid dealer or dismantler license in the state where they do business. The larger the used car lot, the more vehicles they’ll have to offer, including Avis rental cars. Check your local newspaper for advertisements from independent used car lots, or call some in your area and ask about their inventory of used Avis cars.

Follow these rental car shopping tips to ensure you get a good deal:

1. Not all dealerships or used car lots will tell you that the used car you are purchasing is a rental car. To ensure you are getting what you want, ask them to run a CarFax report that will clearly state the vehicle was a former Avis rental car.
2. Make sure the dealership or used car lot you purchase the Avis car from has the title. Unfortunately, dealers and used car lots often do what is called "floating the title." In this situation, their bank or vehicle flooring company holds the title until they pay it off. If they can’t produce a title, find another dealership or used car lot.
3. Choose the direct link Avis offer at AutoNation first even if you don’t live in Florida. Because Avis chose to partner with AutoNation, you’ll probably find better deals and lower prices including the costs you may incur to go get the vehicle.
4. Shop around before you decide and collect vehicle identification numbers or the VIN. Once armed with the seventeen digit VIN number you can run a CarFax report on your own, or search Edmunds to see what the vehicle is worth. Don’t forget to get the mileage for each car you research on Edmunds.
5. Buy an extended warranty if the Avis rental car has less than 80,000 miles, which almost all do. Avis does replenish their inventory often so you’ll be able to find a former rental car with lower mileage. You can purchase an extended warranty from any franchised dealership or online at places like US Fidelis or Warranty Direct.

Avis car sales are abundant all over the country and if you think a former rental car is right for you, shop around, ask questions, and research the Avis car before you buy.
