The Camaro trunk is tiny with the roof open; the Mustang is small but doesn't change when the roof is open.

Can someone please fill me in what the differences are between a ‘standard sport manual’ and a ‘specialty sport manual’. One is quoted $50 more for a 2 week rental. Am I right to assume the extra $50 will get me a V8 opposed to a eco boost?

Just wondering if anyone is able to provide some advice. We have booked a Mustang in September on a one way rental San Francisco to LAX with Avis. It’s booked as Group K mid-size, Ford Mustang or similar. Will this be a coupe or convertible?

I'm guessing you've booked on Avis' UK website! The picture they have for Group K is a Mustang hardtop, which I believe to be wrong - it should be a convertible as shown on Avis.com.

I'd go with the description, not the picture.

CHS Charleston - Standard
Hey all,
I am booking a reservation for an upcoming trip to Charleston. Picking up at airport CHS. Basically, just wondering does anyone have any experience with renting from the Standard group? Currently, its the same price as a full size for my reservation. From what I can tell the only two cars in this group are Volkswagen Jetta and Buick Verano. Do any other vehicles fall in Standard? I would love a Jetta but have the feeling when I get there am going to just end up in a Full-Size, which is fine. I am more just curious.

Hi all,
Miami downtown booking coming up,
only have Preferred status.
Booked - Sports Elite coupe.
What am I likely to get?
I would rather get a Challenger R/T, Camaro SS or Mustang GT
Rather not get the nissans or Charger.
Any way I can email them the day before to ask? like with Sixt?
thanks

No way to email locations with Avis. You can call them but with an outstation, you're gonna get whatever they have in that category. Most likely, Challenger or Mustang lately with some Camaros in the fleet. The Nissan is very elusive (I've only seen a few in the last 6 months with Avis).

OK, traveling back to Milwaukee today. Avis just emailed me letting me know they have a Buick 4WD Enclave waiting for me. Does anyone know if it has remote start by chance? Thanks.

Yes, all of the Enclaves I've seen have remote start. They feel kinda basic inside for their price, but it's not a bad vehicle to hop around in. The main drawback in my mind is the captain's chairs in the second row. They are very difficult to get a carseat into and then there is very limited room for kids' legs.

I’m renting a premium car (Costco code) for 17 days in July for an extended road trip. I rented from a neighborhood location to avoid the daily fees at the airport (would have been $300 more). Knowing that the selection of cars is usually smaller at the neighborhood locations, if I don’t like what they give me can I swap it out at the airport? I’m in PHX. I’m also not opposed to paying a little more to get something decent, but going up to a luxury car is almost $400 more right now. Best strategy here?

Hi there, hope you'll forgive a drop in from a guy who usually "Flies Hertz"
I've got a reservation next month at SEA for a Ford Transit - 12 passenger or similar.
I can't recall any time in the past I've had occasion to rent a large passenger van, and there are so many possibilities on the Ford site, I can't answer this one on my own.
What configuration is Avis likely to have? Basically, I'm hoping for a vehicle that can hold 6-7 adults, as well as a pair of kayaks on the interior. Are they likely to have such a thing?
From the Ford site, it seems any "roof height" would work, but I might need the "long" or "extended" model.
Thanks.
