The price is similar in both branches, but was wondering if I had a better chance of a PC upgrade (and a better upgrade because of the 2 upgrade groups at a weekend from airport/train station location "if available" perk ) by collecting the car from the airport rather than the local branch?
Normal rule of thumb would be you would have a much better chance at the airport location. However we are talking about Avis who seem to have a tiny amount of premium vehicles in Europe generally. In Germany you'd be much better off with Sixt if you are looking for premium vehicles.
