My first "Avis First" rental last week was a very nice Sebring, the second rental was the standard Focus. Oh well, cars were ready at dropoff and very clean! I too was excited about the program-it will be interesting to see how the "free" rentals work. The last time I tried to use a cetificate, Avis told me it was during a blackout date (no, it wasn't anywhere exotic-or MCO).
