In addition to all the customer unfriendly changes that have been discussed above--and as a frequent Avis renter they are indeed customer unfriendly--did anyone notice that they now require reservations 24 hours in advance?

Is that so that they can detail the car to my exact standards, stock the on- board mini fridge with my favorite beverages and pre set the radio stations with my favorite stations and adjust the seats, mirrors and interior temperatures to best suit my posture?

I see no reason for this provision. Are they trying to discourage last minute (< 24 hour) reservations or walk-ins? There have been plenty of times I've required a car with less than 24 hour notice, including when there have been extensive air travel delays.

These changes, particularly the ones concerning the bahksheesh LDW changes have set me looking for a different program.
