To avoid issues with AWD ID questions, I asked AutoEurope to match the rate after reserving on AVIS online. They emailed me back saying they would match the rate (actually beat it by $5) and I pre-paid. AutoEurope is a reliable consolidator in Europe that works with Hertz, Avis, etc. I'm still picking up at an AVIS office, renting through AVIS, but the rental is prepaid. No concerns about questions this way.

Also, the corporation in question would be, I guess, Marshall School of Business. Why would be only a certain number of rentals allocated to this code? I know, for example, that my bank has a negotiated AWD code (I think it gives 15% discount or so) and this was done to bring down rental costs and thus encourage a greater use of Avis rentals, not the other way around.
