Is this a new website? It looks a little more user friendly, but I had finally figured out where everything was on the old site.

Are you visiting Avis.com (in the US) or another site, I see you're in both the US & Spain. I just poked around on Avis.com and didn't notice anything different, unfortunately.

For me it came and went. I only once got a new cool redesigned Avis website. I liked the new feeling for MyAvis. However, I don't get the new pages anymore. Just the old regular web site.

Probably too buggy...

So - the new website seems to have arrived permanently, and I have a HUGE problem with it.

I am not permanently resident in the US - I spend my time in various residences in US, UK, Ireland and France. I have taken full advantage of this on the Avis website in the past, as often rates in the US for French residents are often one-quarter of those for US residents, for the same date.

On the new site, I can no longer do this - it eliminates the option to select a country of residence once my Wizard number is entered. Has anyone else come across this? OR does anyone know of a workaround?

Thanks

Using Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 I get the OLD page. Using IE 6, I get the NEW one.

Good work AVIS!

How do you tell the new one apart from the old one? I don't spot anything radically different from before in either IE 7 or SeaMonkey 1.11 (a Mozilla browser suite, but not using as up-to-date a Mozilla as the latest Firefox yet), and they both look the same once I give them a chance to "forget" me. (Obviously, they look a bit different if I'm logged in in one and not logged in in the other.)

I have a feeling it's a non-US thing. If you go to avis.eu, avis.ca, avis.at or avis.be, you get something new. I don't think it's been pushed to avis.com yet.

I see Canadian locations still offer the "Mitsubishi Pajero" in the 4 Wheel Drive category....

Today I get the new site in both browsers. Finally...

The avis.com is re-directed to: http://www.avis.com/car-rental/avisHome/home.ac

Using 2 versions of IE and Google Chrome, I get the old Avis.com site. Even if I put in your www.avisw.com/car-rental/avishome/home.ac, I get the old/typical US site. Where are you trying this from, within the US or another country?

See my profile tag...

I've uploaded the picture of the new [US] Avis.com home page here.

I find the profile tag totally useless on FT. It seem the majority of people use it to indicate their home location, no matter where they are at the moment (it seems a lot of work to constantly update it, and it's called "location", not "current location") while a sizeable minority use it to indicate where they are at the moment (and then some of these ask questions which require knowing what their home airport is and just confuse the responders by the "location" being their current one rather than their home airport).

I wish FT would split this into two fields (each one which you could fill in or leave blank as you prefer), one something like "based in:" and and the other something like "currently in:".

... Meanwhile, did you perhaps just return from a trip from outside of the country and have cookies from that still in your browsers? Or did you log in at the new site once, and perhaps that set cookies on your browsers?

And with both avis.com and your link, I'm still getting the old site in both my browsers. FWIW, I'm at home in SoCal, and haven't been out of the country since October.

Yeah, I saw your tag of IAD, but I wasn't sure if you were currently out of the country or something. The new site looks nice, but I still can't get to it from any manner.

Most interesting was that I yesterday got the new one in IE and the old one in Firefox. My laptop is pretty new and has only so far been in VA, MA, NY, NJ, MD, DE and IL.
