Not sure, but I did a one-way with Avis in the States once and got unlimited mileage (strangely, I got unlimited mileage if I booked with no corporate code and capped mileage if I booked with my corporate code!). Not sure if Avis does one-ways between the locations you're looking at, but it might be worth checking them. (Companies will usually only do one-ways between corporate-owned locations--one-ways between franchises or between franchises and corporate stores would be complicated, as the franchisee would basically have to sell the car to the other franchise or corporate when it got dropped off, since they're basically separate companies!)
