Avis CC rules require them to deliver a car anywhere within a 25 mile radius of the renting location, and I have had the benefit of this service on more than one location.

The farthest example for me (March 2010, in Missouri) was about 20 miles, and since I needed the car at 9:00 AM Monday morning, they delivered the car at their Sunday afternoon closing time (that location closed at 4:00 PM, the car was at my hotel before 5:00 PM), and they left the keys and contract at the front desk of my hotel.

The most recent time (November 2010, home in Fort Lauderdale) that I needed a car delivered was when my Mercedes GLK was in the shop for an insurance repair (why is it that the only time I am in an accident is when I am at a stop, usually a light, and someone plows into me?), and the Avis manager insisted that it is an Avis "rule" for CC members to make sure the car is delivered two hours before the appointed time, they brought me the make and model I requested (2010 Buick LaCrosse), and they left the keys and contract with my service writer, AND they beat the rate authorized by Progressive Insurance to boot!
