For example, a one-week rental at a major airport location during a peak travel period will require more points than a weekend rental taking place during off-peak season at a local market Avis location in a smaller city. All of those factors will determine how many points are required to obtain desired benefits.
Thank you. i would suggest you work with Flyertalk to formalize your presence as an Avis representative. Otherwise, we don't know if we are dealing with someone who officially represents Avis, a helpful employee who is not authorized to do so or someone pretending to be Avis.

If you look through Flyertalk, you will see some members spend a lot of time working out the math of the programs. With the description you provided, it seems we really can't determine that. Without the ability of determining the value of the rewards, a rewards program does not make sense to some of us. It would be much better to say each point is worth how much credit toward a rental based on whatever rate we can find rather than this indeterminate math.

Of course, after what Avis did with Avis First (botched rollout last year of the new program, expiring the coupons early, lack of communications on the transition), we know to not expect too much....
