Any insight on what I'm in for would be helpful.

Thanks.
Definitely a big downgrade. See if your account manager can swing a few President or Chairman memberships.

If you're stuck with First:
  • Get to know the Avis staff at the locations you frequent most often.
  • Remember that any vehicle can be assigned to anyone at any time. Yes, you might have booked a mid-size or full-size, but remember the latitude that agents have with vehicle assignments. This is especially true on days where they are short cars.
  • Don't like what you were pre-assigned? Find 2 or 3 cars you would drive, remember the spot numbers, and go into the Preferred Booth. Be nice.
