Whenever I've used points, they're 700/day. And it's typically ~$30-35/day (before taxes/fees, since you still pay taxes/fees with points anyway). However, when booking for a week, the rate is usually in the $150/week while it's 3500 points (no discount for a week of points, like a week of cash). So I'd value is something like 4-5 cents/point. Not worth much, but considering the other option is to pay a fee for airline miles, and I have a boatload of miles anyway, I'll take the Avis points.
