I have corporate codes for all of the major agencies and Avis is by far the least expensive for me, aside from very rare occasions when the other guys have a huge glut of cars, and even then it's maybe $10 a week difference. The Camry I have now is the first one this year with more than 12k on the clock. I had to take it because it was literally the only thing bigger than a compact in service at the location, and there were only two of those. Usually they have closer to 15. Some poor ....... even got stuck with a Transit 350 this morning, that's how bad it was. I'm debating whether to try for an exchange at the airport tomorrow or not. I probably won't since there's nothing actually wrong with the car other than some cosmetic scratches on the bumper. Point being I usually get good cars.

If National weren't usually 50% more expensive I'd give them a shot.
