Avis Elite Levels?
I'm being forced to rent from Avis b/c of our corp. travel policy (funny how Cendant who owns our TA also owns Avis!). Anyway, I was Presidents Circle with Hertz, but I was told Avis doesn't have an equivalent, so I was comped Avis Select (which seems like a joke based on the postings here)
Question is, do I have this right?
Hertz Five Star is equivalent to Avis Preferred Select
Req: ~15 Rentals a Year
Benefits: Available in class upgrades
Hertz Presidents Circle is equivalent to Avis Presidents Club
Req Hertz: ~40 Rentals a Year
Req Avis: Invite only to Company CEOs
Benefits Hertz: Garanteed Class Upgrade
Benefits Avis: ??

I think AVIS PS is 18 rentals?
Hertz Plat = Avis Presidents Club (Both by invite only)

Yes President's Club is invitation only and you get a double upgrade *based on availability* in the US. In Europe it only officially gets you a single upgrade, but when the staff uses their discretion you basically get the best available car.
But the highest elite level is Chairmans Club which is pretty much just for CEO's of big companies. My old boss was in Chairmans Club as the CEO of a company with a billion in revenue.

It's really not apples to apples and within Hertz there are codes that constitute other elite levels as well. For instance with the Amex Centurion card, you get guaranteed TRIPLE upgrades (based on availability) at Hertz in the US. I had to show the printed letter from the President of Hertz to get the Hertz staff at LAX to believe this when it first started.
I rarely use Hertz, but the last time I did was pretty funny. The lady at the Gold booth in SJC pulled up my reservation and said "Wow. It says here I have to give you whatever car you want, or you can have me fired."
