Good tactic, if you feel that you
must call to verify.

I generally agree with BocaStephen on this, with ONE POSSIBLE exception. If the AWD number in question might totally deny the reservation made only while standing at the counter waiting for the keys.
Of course, that particular concern should also make anyone with a lick of sense question why they are willing to take such an unknown risk in the first place, meaning, Mr/Ms OP (avw I believe), you need to either find another AWD without similar risk, or use no AWD at all, if you have some concern the AWD might cause trouble.
