Sounds logical, but still curious if Avis could ever enforce the country of origin nominated on the reservation. So if I nominated my country of residence as the USA (might reduce the insurance component of the base rate if it was for a country that drove on the right), but then presented my NZ drivers licence on check-in - what could they do? Presumably if all other conditions of the AWD code were met they couldn't / wouldn't do anything?

That sounds fantastic ^ so would love to know the conditions too. The pick-up is 6pm on the 5th, the drop off at 8am on the 14th. And I need a child seat for a 2 year old

Thanks
