So I'm wondering if I can use the above link with my SAS number ( I'm living in FR) without problem when I pickup the car ?
Thanks for any advice
It shouldn't matter - but I was prepared to speak in Danish to the agent

I think you might be able to bypass the counter if you put in your Aviz Wizard number - but then you won't get the same promo miles...I was supposed to get 1k EB points, but only got 500 - because at check-in (with an agent) at EWR I gave my Presidential info, got an upgrade - but then must have lost out on 500 EB points...

(Ended up with a not-so-nice vehicle compared to the one I saw, was locked?? Avis field workers reserving some for themselves??)

It seems it blocks US IP addresses, which is why I had the problem.
