Rental Companies: No Smoking

According to Budget and Avis rental car companies, they’ve banned smoking in their vehicles, effective Oct. 1, 2009 USA Today reports. “The No. 1 request we get is for a smoke-free car,” said John Barrows, spokesman of the Avis Budget Group, the parent company.

If you are a smoker, don’t worry too much. “Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Alamo Rent A Car and National Car Rental do not have an ‘across-the-board’ smoking ban, but many of their locations restrict smoking, said Laura Bryant, spokeswoman of parent company Enterprise Holdings.”
