Is this true???
On Star services are free for the first 100 minutes of usage or something like that for all new car purchases. Avis NEVER buys the service, they only allow people to use the service that is pre-existing.

Once the intro time runs out, there is no more free onstar services. At one point Avis offere Onstar pay per use to Cadillacs and above, but that phased out in 2005
