Problems Making Reservations
I tried to making some reservations but when I click on the nice Avis site it goes to a blank page. Using IE 5.01 128 bit with Win 98. Finally went to Dollar and booked there easily. Anybody else having problems with Avis?

I had the same problem. Blank page with MS IE 5.1, also with Netscape 4.72.
Upgraded MS 5.5 - still blank page.
My problem was the following: I use a 'firewall' Norton Internet Security. That causes the problem with Avis. I 'enabled' the Internet Security and Avis's reservation worked fine.

USAFAN-
Many thanks. That was exactly the problem, ie using the program @Guard as a firewall prevented the Avis site (and a few others) from downloading. I disabled it, avis.com downloaded quickly, and I checked their prices. I then quickly enabled the nice @Guard program to prevent any annoying ads from appearing on my nice screen.
