I did this in Tampa in January. I asked at one Avis desk if I could leave the car in the car park and was told 'no'. When I collected the keys, the lady told me that I was fine not to drive the car until the next day. When I tried to leave the car park the following day there was some kerfuffle at the gate, but I was eventually let out. And the double TPs were forthcoming.
