Can anyone confirm this Oct. 1 date that SEA Avis is telling people? In the confirmation letter I received for an upcoming rental, it says "
Please be prepared to produce your company ID, business card, or a recent email with the company’s email domain (e.g. [MENTION=25805]xyz[/MENTION]company.com) for employment verification purposes when picking up your vehicle."
I've got the biz card, but we have no "company ID" AND I sure as heck ain't gonna lug the work laptop on a beach vacation just so that I can show an email with the company's domain (
and my mobile phone doesn't have their email either -- I'd have to turn over control of the device to them if I want email on it, and I'm not about to do that).
So I will totally use the "your email says I need to show A
OR B
OR C" (and I'll show them my biz card which satisfies the "OR" condition :-) ), but are they really changing the rules again come Oct. 1?
OR is this a new, more stringent policy for rentals that are reserved AFTER Oct. 1?
