Hello everyone,
I was surprised to see today that my upcoming reservation in DEN has been changed from a BMW 740i (which I reserved) to a Jaguar XF. I didn't realize that Avis even had Jaguars and their website still does not list them as a signature series vehicle. Regardless, do you think I should call and ask for a downgrade comp considering the XF is significantly smaller than the 7 series? I am Preferred Plus as well.
Thanks!

Lots of old ones floating around. I assume MB unloaded them cheap to move them and make way for the 2017. Haven't seen a 2017 and doubt Avis will spend for them.

I've got a fullsize van booked from FLL in Feb. Avis says it's a 12 passenger version. Do they have a mix of 12 and 15 or is it really going to be 12?
Alamo says 15 for fullsize vans but they're a lot more $. Budget also says 12 and they're the same price as Alamo, I'd switch to them if there was a better chance of getting a 15.
There's 12 of us so it is ok if we get a 12 pass, but 15 would give us some room for luggage.

I'm looking at renting through USAA (as they waive young age drivers fee [I'm 24]) at Chicago O'hare Airport (ORD). Which class would be best to get a car with all-wheel-drive (AWD) besides SUV? I'm looking at Buick Verano size class and possibly a Subary Legacy in there; but not sure what are the chances of getting it. Also looking at Ford Fusion or similar class.

That said I hope they do get them as I'd love to try one out.
