As of 2/12/14: We've had quite a few "Hey, come use this AWD. It's great" type of posts. When the AWD doesn't give a good discount, but is only posted to try to get renters to use the AWD of someone so the poster can earn free days from their Avis Corporate account. From here out, please put the company/trade group/etc that's associated with the AWD or we'll delete the post to keep it on-topic here.

Thanks for the fast reply! I have made 2 bookings using this code for Naples(Italy) in May as I am not sure yet what size of car I require - is it ok to have two open bookings or should I cancel one before arrival at the airport? What would be great is to pay for the lower priced one only to find they have to upgrade me to a bigger car anyway! It could happen...you never know
I have not had to leave any credit card number or deposit on these bookings but assume they are "confirmed".
Has anyone else made two booking for the same rental period? I thought I read a post here where someone said they did but I can't find it again!

Thanks for your replys guys!
I am not travelling alone but I will be the only driver so I'm not sure if booking in another name would be a good idea in my case...my rental will be 17th-30th May.
Good comment about wanting a bigger car lol! I have been looking at some of the excesses these companies charge and most are huge, 1000 euros not uncommon though to be fair the last time I rented a car in Scotland (from Thrifty) I think the excess was in the region of £600.
I think the avis excess is "only" £220 which seems fair enough but I am not 100% certain of this yet - perhaps an email enquiry would be in order soon.
Still considering whether I should prepay for the cheaper car(@ avis.co.uk) and then still have the option of having the larger car when I get there. The group E car is normally £406 reduced to £250 (was £259 a few days ago!) and the group G car was £515 reduced to £315. Big difference as you can see.

Hey everyone,
I had autoeurope.com match my AVIS rate -- I also prepaid and so it eliminated any issue with the AWD code which doesn't appear anywhere on my payment voucher. You can cancel anytime with Autoeurope without penalty but the prepayment is reassuring me that I'll get my car at this rate. Autoeurope actually contracts avis and hertz so it's the same locations and car as on my AVIS reservation.
Just get a quote from Autoeurope (one of the most popular car rental agencies in Europe) and then there's a "best rate" link. The form asks you for info from your AVIS reservation but it doesn't ask about any code you might have used to get the rate (obviously don't mention it). Autoeurope sent me a revised quote that beat the Avis rate (AWD D005927) by $5.00 and then asks for prepayment info (remember to use the CC that will give you CDW coverage). One caveat -- autoeurope charges for an additional driver so this is an additional surcharge you'll have to pay when you pick up.

Why is the search tool here so lousy as well - it is really difficult to match phrases etc...

Agreed! on the worthless search tool!
As one poster said, if questioned just tell the Avis agent that an airline employee or some travel agent told you to use the number.
Since I know its got something to do with sports I'll just say I got it from ski area I ski patrol at.
