Avis, through their “Stay in Touch” program in Europe, offers car renters the newest global cell phones free for the first seven days.
Avis renters call 800/698-5674, book their car, request their telephone and provide their credit card information seven days prior to departure. Renters pay all airtime charges, optional theft/damage insurance ($2 per day) and $30 for the overnight delivery and collection. After the first free week, renters pay $4.99 a day.
