thanks for that info ghurty,

Looks like i should be considering other options then!

Any particular suggestion on a better alternative lately?
Last year I had no prob. with National but the same CID
this year (Carlson i believe) is way higher than i expected.

At this point though, I'm looking at National again since
the Emerald Experience was great, and at least I've dealt
with em before (haven't ever done anything through Avis).

The Avis rate was going to be around 208 for 7 days.... As of
right now, using National with a new CID and a coupon, i've got
a deal for abt. 238 incl. tax. I'm starting to think that's as good
as im going to find at this point.

However, if anyone cares to share any new Avis AWDs that work
feel free to PM or post! Thanks again,

Mike
