Avis to provide us with toothpaste!!
 

This is a great idea!

A great idea but...
 

Full sized products??? That's not real practical. It would make more sense if they gave out samples. Hopefully we will be able to give them back (unused) to Avis so they don't go to waste if you're on a one or two day trip.

FWIW

It is a great idea; I am surprised that hotels haven't started doing it--even if they charge a nominal fee; it would be worth it.

I believe it will be for perferred renters only. I have been off playing in florida. I will find out on friday when I am back to work.

I thought it would be better to have a $5 gift pack of sampler size products or a family pack of full size items for $10 and sell them at the counter, perferred customers would get them for free. I was close.

So, do we have a list of the airports? The articles that I have found just state "25 airports", but I can't find a list.

No toothpaste at SAN this Monday (8/21)...

... anyone got the toothpaste yet?

None this week. 0/3

IAH SAT nor MCI

Nothing in SEA this week.

Well, at least it was a good idea. I am sorry it wasn't implemented :( I was hoping that if Avis offered this service, Hertz would follow.

I flew into Dulles (IAD) this last Tuesday and there was this gift pack sitting on my seat. Too bad it was a Minivan again (4th in a row) and I had to go back and swap it out (took the pack to the new car though). It contained a tube of Crest toothpaste, a bottle of mouth wash, and some floss.

PARTICIPATING AIRPORTS INCLUDE

Atlanta, GA, Baltimore, MD, Boston, MA, Chicago, IL, Cincinnati, OH, Cleveland, OH, Dallas, TX, Denver, CO, Detroit, MI, Fort Lauderdale, FL, Los Angeles, CA, Miami, FL, Minneapolis-St.Paul, MN, Nashville, TN, Oakland, CA, Orlando, FL, Philadelphia, PA, Phoenix, AZ, Sacramento, CA, San Jose, CA, San Francisco, CA, Seattle, WA, St. Louis, MO, Tampa, FL and Washington, D.C.

I got a goody pack last week at FLL. But only on one of my two rentals.

It was nice except for the mouthwash - it is alocohol free and has a distinct artificial sweetener taste.

Yup, me too in BOS.

Actually, all of my colleagues had checked bags so nobody really needed a packet (included me - the only carry-on - as I was staying with a friend who drove in). But when I asked if we could have some, we were kindly accomodated (I gifted mine to my host). Perhaps it is my chairman's status?

(They also offered an upgrade/trade to a Durango from the reserved mini-van but my boss, the non-status renter, declined. He said if we got a Durango the whole team would want to borrow it! :rolleyes: )

Nothing in STL last week.
Nothing in ATL this week.

Nothing in MCO last week. Nice upgrade, though (see other thread).

Avis is very uneven with their perks. I get the WSJ maybe 10% of the time.
