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.

At these prices i'd rather buy a used Avis car in Florida and sell it for more in Michigan. I was just playing around today with numbers and I was getting some quotes from Carmax that were about equal or higher than the cost of the Avis used cars in Florida.

For an $800 rental, you'd rather go through the hassle of buying/insuring/registering/paying tax on a car, then re-selling it? Even under today's circumstances, I think it'd be hard to guarantee you'd be able to break even on that, let alone make a profit.

This is actually a Jan 2022 rental. I guess I need to just keep checking.

Yeah its more of a theoretical exercise. I will be in the market for at least one new car in the next year or so, and buying a rust-free Florida car is definitely an option for us. I am sure by January the used car market will be different than it is now anyways so flipping cars for profit is probably not a sustainable enterprise.

- Be enrolled at an Avis Preferred member (sounds like you're good there)
- Rent from one of the 50 airport locations in the US/CA that supports the service
- Reserve an intermediate car or better

Just an FYI, because there has been shortage of cars across most rental companies/locations the select and go may or may not be available. The reason I mention this because last week I had to pick up a car at Calgary which had select and go, but the app was not letting me do that. Kept giving me an error that there are no cars available. I had to go to the counter and when I asked the agent he said that there were not enough cars to allow preferred (preferred plus in my case) to select any car they want. This could be a possibility across locations.

Thanks, AutoSlash and MB. And I will just happen to pickup the car at YYC!!!! So I assume YYC is one of the Select&Go locations. My rental will be in October and I selected standard SUV to go up and down the mountains with ease. MB, did you use a corp AWD and did they verify ID? My first time using a corp AWD at YYC so I need some data points. Thank you.

May I ask what corp AWD you used? Also how do I activate this Select&Go -- is there a checkbox from the app or the website? Or something else? Drawing a blank at my first time doing this.

Is it possible to remove deloitte collision coverage after the rental has started? I had one rental earlier this month and they allowed me to remove the coverage-it was a small location and it was a paper contract. I prefer using my Chase sapphire insurance. I just picked up a car yesterday at an airport and the contract was digital and I was told I couldn't remove the included Deloitte coverage, but I was able to do so earlier this month on the paper contract by just putting an x on refuse even though there was a prefilled x on accept. Any advice?

Avis Fail
Hi all,
I used the code B270XXX to rent a car in Spain. When making the reservation, I was very surprised by the very low price, and the Avis website showed that the amount to pay in case of damage or stealing was 0.
At the counter, everything was great, no questions about the AWD, until I see that the rate did not include any insurance at all! On the contract, it is written that I was fully responsible for72,580the entire value of the car ! I asked for the price of the insurance, and it was more than 120/day!
So be aware, B270XXX does not work in Spain
