I was also told to call and make the reservation directly through the CHM desk and make a point of asking that a heads-up be given to the overseas location requesting whatever I needed.
I regularly rented both domestically and internationally as both a President and Chairman. In the USA, President usually got me an upgrade to a Town Car, but I often had to go into ask for an upgrade. Nothing too special. There was no special treatment or upgrades as a President at LHR. As others have posted, the special treatment that Chairmans get in the USA is simply amazing. The only thing it got me at LHR was two bottles of water in my car. No upgrades, and not even a front row spot.

My understanding is that Chairman status is a USA/Canada thing.
