In the words of Hertz ... "Not Exactly"
I rent with Avis and Hertz usually, and reserving over the internet without a Preferred or #1 Club number respectively with either does not give the same level of service as with the membership. With both those companies, you proceed directly to the bus bypassing the counter at most major airports. You can no do that without the membership, which means they have your signature, drivers license, and credit card on a contract already.
