As I am sure Bob1008 will agree, just blindly trying AWD numbers and coupon codes, a person is inviting problems. Without knowing which companies or associations are linked to what AWD numbers, a person has no way of knowing which numbers might be heavily restricted, or which numbers might require ID as part of the rate requirements. Just because a person gets away with using an AWD, because an Avis employee does not do their job properly, does not mean that same person will not get caught the next time. Any Avis employee at any time can ask a simple question which will invalidate the rental, such as, do you have your business card or company ID? Do you have your Costco membership card?

Of course, this will happen at the worst time, such as family vacation, with the kids cranky and needing to go to bed, and there you are, having your $238 weekly rental invalidated, and all of a sudden, the best available is $716 for the same week, and then, when you accept, the authorization (for triple the rental amount) will be put on your card, and then when you get to the hotel, there will not be enough room on your card for the hotel authorization, and pretty soon, you will be getting a divorce. Think this is crazy? Believe me, it is not, I have seen (all except the divorce part) it happen.

So, yes, Bob1008 is correct, that long list of AWD numbers (without the accompanying company or association info) and coupon codes (without full date and term information) is a very misleading and useless list.
