He was an innovator and entrepreneur who left an indelible mark in American business as the founder of Avis Rent A Car. He died of natural causes at his home in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A decorated bomber pilot with the U.S. Army Air Corps in World War II, Warren Avis opened the world's first car rental location at Willow Run Airport in Detroit in 1946, followed by stations in Miami, Florida and Ypsilanti and Michigan, with an investment of $85,000. He started with two employees and fewer than 200 cars. Avis said he got the idea for the business when he was a pilot and was unable to find ground transportation at airports. Avis became the nation's first company to rent cars at airport locations. During the 1950s, the company grew rapidly through franchised and corporate-owned expansion. Under Warren Avis' leadership, Avis Rent A Car introduced a number of innovative business practices, including national franchise licensing and enhanced customer service practices. In 1954, Avis sold his interest in the business for $8 million. Born in Bay City, Michigan in 1915, Avis joined the military after completing his education. After selling the car-rental giant, Avis continued his entrepreneurial career and began converting rental properties to condominiums. In the 1970s, he founded Behavioural Science Training Laboratories Inc., which focused on human relations in business management. In later years, Avis ventured into other retail and technology businesses and was the author of seven books, including his 1986 business memoir "Take a Chance to be First," a chronicle of the Avis Rent A Car story. We would like to express our condolences to the Avis family during this difficult time. To remember the legacy of Warren Avis and how his vision helped shape the industry we know today. <div class="bodySpaceTopBreak"><img src="../arrow_pointer_top.gif" width="9" height="9" alt=""> <a href="#top" class="bodyLink">Top</a></div><BR> <BR> </TD> </TR> <TR HEIGHT="1%" VALIGN="bottom"> <TD></TD><TD HEIGHT="1%"> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD></TD> <TD> <TABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=2> <TR> <tr> <td align="center" class="footerText"><A HREF="/avisonline/gr-gb/avis.nsf/fDirect?OpenAgent&GetaQuote&MakeaReservation" TARGET="_top" onMouseOver="status='';return true;" onMouseOut="status='';return true;" class="footer">Get a Quote</a> | <A HREF="/avisonline/gr-gb/avis.nsf/fDirect?OpenAgent&SpecialOffers&CompassGB" TARGET="_top" onMouseOver="status='';return true;" onMouseOut="status='';return true;" class="footer">Special Offers</a> | <A HREF="/avisonline/gr-gb/avis.nsf/fDirect?OpenAgent&RentersGuide&RentalInformation" TARGET="_top" onMouseOver="status='';return true;" onMouseOut="status='';return true;" class="footer">Fleet - Stations</a> | <A HREF="/avisonline/gr-gb/avis.nsf/fDirect?OpenAgent&Partnerships&AvisPartners" TARGET="_top" onMouseOver="status='';return true;" onMouseOut="status='';return true;" class="footer">Partnerships</a> | <A HREF="/avisonline/gr-gb/avis.nsf/fTopFrameSets/A9B1074001F02E4AC1256F24003A3DB1?OpenDocument&~Default&_S1_A9B1074001F02E4AC1256F24003A3DB1_N2_N3" TARGET="_top" onMouseOver="status='';return true;" onMouseOut="status='';return true;" class="footer">Short Term Rentals</a> | <A HREF="/avisonline/gr-gb/avis.nsf/fTopFrameSets/9436C2B3B5A4A62CC1256F24003A4D02?OpenDocument&~Default&_S1_9436C2B3B5A4A62CC1256F24003A4D02_N2_N3" TARGET="_top" onMouseOver="status='';return true;" onMouseOut="status='';return true;" class="footer">Long Term Rentals</a> | <A HREF="/avisonline/gr-gb/avis.nsf/fTopFrameSets/47AE2E48A60B3D46C1256F24003B0807?OpenDocument&~Default&_S1_47AE2E48A60B3D46C1256F24003B0807_N2_N3" TARGET="_top" onMouseOver="status='';return true;" onMouseOut="status='';return true;" class="footer">Services</a> | <A HREF="/avisonline/gr-gb/avis.nsf/fDirect?OpenAgent&AboutAvis&OurCompany" TARGET="_top" onMouseOver="status='';return true;" onMouseOut="status='';return true;" class="footer">About Avis</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><img src="/icons/vwicnsr1.gif" width="555" height="1" vspace="3" alt="" /></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center" class="footerText"><span class="footerTextGrey"><nobr>© 2000-2010 Avis Europe plc.</nobr></span>   <nobr><a href="/avisonline/terms.nsf/(PrivacyStatement)/A65608BEA8F1DF90C1256D5600442DE5!opendocument" class="footer" target="_blank" onMouseOver="status='';return true;" onMouseOut="status='';return true;">Privacy Policy</a></nobr></td> </tr> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> <TR VALIGN=top BGCOLOR="CC0000"> <TD BGCOLOR="CC0000" COLSPAN="2" height="80">   <TABLE width="757" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="CC0000"> <TR> <td width="177"> </td> <TD VALIGN="middle"><NOBR><td id="00399DEEcc" width="4" height="20" valign="top"><img src="../cc.gif" valign="top" width="4" height="4"></td><td height="20" align="center" onMouseOver="mOver(this, '00399DEE', '');
