what does ... no birds MEANWhat does ( ...no birds) mean for bayswater car rental?
';We are asked this question several times a day.
People have offered theories such as:
no worries (a real Aussie expression, as in 'no worries, mate')
no bird poo on the cars
no hassles
no women allowed to drive our cars (as if!)
no 'lemons'
'avis' is Latin for birds therefore ';no birds';
This is the real story...
30 years ago the large (and expensive) Rental Car Companies used young women to advertise their brands and deliver cars to clients. With our cut price rates we could never afford to offer these services, so we light heartedly used the tag ';鈥o birds'; to demonstrate our point of difference. Therefore, after all these years, having seen the logo on hundreds of cars over the years, many people know us as No Birds Car Rental.';

Note: In Australian slang a ';Bird'; is a young woman.What does ( ...no birds) mean for bayswater car rental?
Re: askers post: ... and you could have googled the link in as much time as it took for me cut and past it. Note: Yahoo answers is not just to answer your question, but to help others as well. This question is bound to be asked again - hence the quote.

it means that they are a cheap car rental place, with out all the frills ect that go with it
they have been using that gimmick for quite a few years now, i have never checked out there prices
even though i live in Perth as i dont need to rent, how ever if you hire you would have to get a taxi
from the airport to pick it up and return it, unless some one drove you from the airport, it is not far but by taxi it would be, other cars you can rent that you pick up from the airport
like Hertz
It means you have to catch a taxi from Airport to Bayswater Car Rental Company to collect your hire car, this saves you heaps of $$$$$$$$ as there isnt a sexy young girl to deliver your car to airport.
The rental company is on Guilford Rd not far from Terminal.
Enjoy your cheaper car rental!
