Yup. I've received it for long check-in times and when the car had annoying mechanical issues that required me to swap the car.

I get a variety of such coupons as emails from Avis all the time. But since all of them require the use of a coupon code, they're useless to me (since I would always use another coupon anyway), and they're never really great savings.
Yeah, it requires a coupon code, but these are great for short, mid-week rentals. It's rare one can find a coupon that gives the same benefit as $25 off of a 1-day rental that doesn't have a Saturday stay.
