Perhaps the good times are over. I dropped off a rental yesterday and my receipt is fine with D005297. Perhaps I will get a different story this Friday when I pick up another rental that has this code in the reservation.

We'll see. Such a shame for Avis. I will go with cheaper rental agencies even ones that have no express counter or elite program. Times are tough for Avis and for me. However, they will suffer more than me... maybe not in the grand scheme but for my business they will indeed lose it.
