Frankly, I still think the long term solution is Avis Now (which is not available in Canada yet, but I am not sure why). I believe when Now is adequately deployed and used (since tv commercials have started), I believe Select and Go may go away unless locations ask for it because they think this is the best way to get people to rent VW convertibles and other slow moving cars. Because Select and Go is designed for those who would have access to Now in most cases.

I recognize people think choices in the app are not great, but I think it does adequately and could do even better if they are more aggressive in the choices they offer and include slow moving vehicles (low rental utilization with losses in monthly fleet costs). I think Avis should include that logic in some of the cars it offers. I suspect we will get a lot more unique choices which would be a win-win for Avis. If you are offering me choices of cars that are easier to rent because of demand, that is not quite the best scenario.
