I guess it depends on location, and Preferred status and the fact you still need a valid CC on file.
I just rented from Avis in Calgary and used my Discover card. The agent had never seen on before!! He had to ask how to enter it. When I got home I checked my account and there was an authorization hold for $500 CAD on my card...turned out it was from them and it took 2 weeks to get off my card. Was a major pain...good thing I have other credit cards!
