Hey everyone,

I had autoeurope.com match my AVIS rate -- I also prepaid and so it eliminated any issue with the AWD code which doesn't appear anywhere on my payment voucher. You can cancel anytime with Autoeurope without penalty but the prepayment is reassuring me that I'll get my car at this rate. Autoeurope actually contracts avis and hertz so it's the same locations and car as on my AVIS reservation.

Just get a quote from Autoeurope (one of the most popular car rental agencies in Europe) and then there's a "best rate" link. The form asks you for info from your AVIS reservation but it doesn't ask about any code you might have used to get the rate (obviously don't mention it). Autoeurope sent me a revised quote that beat the Avis rate (AWD D005927) by $5.00 and then asks for prepayment info (remember to use the CC that will give you CDW coverage). One caveat -- autoeurope charges for an additional driver so this is an additional surcharge you'll have to pay when you pick up.
