The firm has offered 1,500 free car hire rentals abroad, worth around £175,000, in a bid to help its foreign trading, the Daily Mail reports.
sales director for Avis, said that the firm wanted to help "back Britain" by offering "preferential rental services to those who need it most - when they need it most".
He added: "Travel is an intrinsic element of business today and with more than 4,000 branches worldwide we can help meet business travellers' needs better than anyone else."
The offer is available to companies which qualify for the similar free flights deal British Airways (BA) recently announced.
Mr Ainsworth explained: "When they [passengers] arrive abroad courtesy of British Airways, they can make the most of their vital business engagements with Avis."
BA is giving away £15 million in free flights to small and medium-sized organisation, providing firms with 5,000 business-class return flights, in a bid to keep the UK's economy alive.
Richard Lambert, director-general of the CBI, told the Daily Mail that car hire and aviation firms coming together to beat the recession was a "great thing".
He added: "'Companies looking to expand abroad will be keen to explore how this opportunity could help them develop their business."
On its blog, Avis says it is "delighted" to be part of the scheme and adds that it is currently working out the terms and conditions of the free car hire deal with the UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) body.
Businesses will have to go through the UKTI to claim the free car hire.
They will first need to secure free flights with BA, tickets for which the UKTI will distribute the majority of while the British American Business group will give away 1,000.
Applications for the tickets will be able to be made online and businesses eligible for the scheme are likely to be those with 250 employees or less, although larger firms in need may be considered.
However, it seems not all car hire firms will be in a position to be so generous. Earlier this week, Hertz Global Holdings announced that ITS revenue in the first quarter of 2009 fell.
Hertz, which is one of the world's largest car hire firms, said revenue of $1.6 (£1.07 billion) billion was well below expectations.
