I have been a loyal AVIS Pres Club member for years and I am not impressed. Unless AVIS can match other rates from Enterprise or others, they willl lose my businesss. I just do not have time to waste on these misleading specials.
This is all too common with all of the rental car companies. Alamo, Dollar, Budget, National, Enterprise, Hertz, Thrifty, all do the same. In order to be in the rental car business you have to basically lose ethics. I get the same specials, yet can rarely find any location in the entire country that accepts them.
