Avis select and go --- your thoughts
« on: June 05, 2012, 09:17:42 AM »
"As a valued customer and member of Avis Preferred®, we want to share exciting
news about enhancements to your service. Beginning June 7, 2012 we're launching
Avis Preferred Select & Go––a new service that puts you in control. Select & Go will be available at 50 airport locations in the United States and Canada by the end of 2012.
NEW Avis Preferred Select & Go
Select & Go gives you the freedom to select the vehicle that’s right for you and your trip. We will continue to pre-assign your vehicle based on your preferences, and now you’ll have three options when you reserve an intermediate or larger vehicle:
1. Keep: Check your email* or the Preferred board for your pre-assigned vehicle. If you’re happy with it, drive to the Exit Booth as usual.
2. Exchange: If your vehicle isn’t exactly what you want, select a different one from our Select & Go Exchange area at no extra charge.
3. Upgrade: Choose from our Select & Go Upgrade area—including Cool Cars, specialty vehicles, SUVs and more—for an additional daily charge.**
New Faster Service
Because your time is valuable, your Rental Agreement will no longer be in your vehicle. Simply drive your selected vehicle to the Exit Booth where an Avis representative will get you on your way quickly and easily––no additional paperwork required!
We thank you for making Avis your choice for your car rental needs and we look forward to you driving with us again soon.
Sincerely,
Jeannine Haas
Chief Marketing Officer "

- It appears as though they are trying to catch up with the rest of the market, (namely National's Aisle Service, and Hertz's Gold Choice).
Share your experiences of this (still developing) service here..

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

With national you can use any corporate ID and drive off. I wonder if university of Florida will finally work at major airports.

Avis does not have those for choice in the choice aisle. They would be out of business pretty fast if they did.

By choice aisle I refer to the selection you can take for free.
