Agree with the statement 100%. If it weren't for my corporate requirement to rent from Avis, I'd be with Hertz in a heartbeat. I hear their President's Club is much better in terms of service, upgrades, etc. I've been a Select member for over a year, and "preferred select" service is almost non-existent. </font>
I'm 50/50 between Avis and Hertz and the only reason Hertz gets 50% of my rentals is because they are often much less expensive. I've repeatedly found customer service at many Hertz locations to be a joke compared to Avis.

I am 5* at Hertz and Preferred Select at Avis, which are roughly equivalent on paper, but in reality I get the Avis upgrade 90% of the time and the Hertz upgrade 50% of the time.
