I agree, most times it's a fairly small amount, couple of dollars or so, so I guess most of us can't be bothered. However if Avis are nickel-and-diming all their customers for a couple of dollars, that adds up to a significant amount. That's why I systematically claim it back. Indeed, the last time it happened to me at ATl, the Avis manager actually gave me a 10$ credit for the inconvenience. However I just wished they would change their practice and be honest.
As to going to the counter each time, what's the point in being "preferred" in that case? Don't Avis value my custom
