Latest shtick with avis
« on: July 27, 2011, 10:17:10 PM »
what is the best shtick you did with avis?
here are some of miune

wen i was 19 i wanted to rent, but didnt have corprate ID, so i ordered credit cards with my name and a business name (at that time i was renting with Bais Binyomin) and was able to rent in, pct, na2, and rutherford (forgot the code)

another shick i once went to avis and the dropped my licence behind the counter, the rep told me i cant rent - no licence, i went home got my permit..... and rented with that!
(i also got that rental free - premium 2 days & $150 in vouchers!) avis customer service!

How did u get a personal credit card to have your name and a business name on it?
As far as shtick- I have friends that added  bais binyomin as  an "AU"  and then told the rep at the counter that it was a corporate credit card. Sometimes it would work and sometimes the rep would tell them that it also has to display their name on the card along with the company name.

i dont know if its a shtick, but when i was 18 i opened a corporate account for my fathers business, and got them to waive underage from 18 without central billing. i attained preferred select status which gave a free upgrade. i got a paper from customer service which clearly stated that this upgrade could work from premium to either luxury, suv, minivan & convertible. i then printed out an email conversation where they told me that the preferred select upgrade could work in conjunction with a physical coupon. so i would call avis dispatch before i arrived to find out if a luxury was avail, and they had no roblem telling me the truth. so i would come prepared with my paperwork and the name of the dispatch and from my full size res, i always left the lot with either a luxury, convertible etc.

until i befriended someone at the lax avis preferred desk who no longer required me to give her the upgrade coupon. so on return i would apply a $20 off weekly coupon.

ahhh..... the days of $130/week devilles

i did it at 18 too. i used a certain business corp that lets u rent at 18 but you must pay underage fee. so i got my father to rent it and i told avis that im under the same corp. so technically i dont need to be on the contract and i can drive, but i told them to add me on as second driver just in case of problems - so they did free of charge. (i did pay full insurance though)

Lemme tell you a shtick:

So's I went to Seattle to go hiking, and didn't reserve a car.
So's when I landed I went online and got a reservation.
So's I go to the counter, and the rental barista says he can't find it. So I show him the email. So he says it won't be in the system for a few hours.
He tells me that if I want that rate I'll have to wait a few hours. If I wait a few hours I'll be hiking in the dark. (We ended up hiking well into the dark anyway.)

I say (bzeh halashon):
Darling, I have a reservation and I am getting the car for this rate, and I am not waiting a few hours.

He gave it to me.

Bottom line is I saved several hundred dollars. And got to call the guy "darling".
So call it what you like.
