Leading car hire firm Avis UK, today announces the opening of its branch at Newquay Cornwall Airport, the largest commercial airport serving the Cornwall area. The new branch will offer business and leisure customers arriving at the airport a convenient onward travel option for getting around the South West with ease.

Despite being one of the most popular getaway destinations in the UK, Cornwall’s location can make it a daunting journey from most regions of the country. This opening enables visitors to the area to make the most of their break, by flying into Newquay and hiring any one of the vast selection of Avis hire cars on offer.

Newquay Cornwall Airport offers a gateway to the south west from a number of destinations, including Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Isles of Scilly, Leeds/Bradford, Manchester, Newcastle, as well as popular Spanish destination, Alicante.

Nick Mountfield, Head of Marketing at Avis UK, said of the opening, “As one of the UK’s up-and-coming airports, it offers us a fantastic opportunity for us to build our fly/drive traffic. Cornwall is a popular destination for Brits wanting to get away and the new branch offers visitors another service to help further boost tourism in Cornwall.”

Avis is the official car hire partner with both Flybe and Air Southwest which both serve Newquay Cornwall Airport.
