Web Site Generates 26 Percent Increase in Online Reservations in 2004

"The overall growth from Web site reservations is attributed to our aggressive effort to build consumer confidence in the Payless brand while maintaining price value in the growing demand to secure reservations online," said Kathy Johnson, vice president of relationship management, Payless Car Rental. "Our lowest rates can always be found at www.PaylessCarRental.com."

In celebration of 2005, Payless Car Rental is offering their annual January special of $20.05 a day on an economy car when reservations are booked online for travel between January 1 - 31, 2005. Or, rent another one of their online staples, a mid-size car for just $30 a day year round.
