For the 7 seater, Explorer seems to be the most common right now. I wouldn't be too surprised if you're upgraded to a Tahoe/similar as Avis seems to be flooded with these at the moment. Haven't seen a Traverse lately, but the Enclave is hanging around, which is just a sexier version.

Group F - Mid Size - Ford Escape or Similar @ LAS
I've booked a Group F car for a trip to LAS in April, described as Ford Escape or similar.
I'm looking at topping up my insurance with a rentalcover.com policy to cover roadside, glass, tyres, keys etc.
There are different prices for "cars" and "4x4" (it's twice the price for 4x4). Does anyone have any experience of what cars are realistically provided in this group? Is it likely to be a 2wd soft SUV or is there a risk that I'll get a 4x4?

Yes, it's very possible you can get a 4x4. Seems most of the southern SUVs are 2WD, but if you got one that was put into service in the northern states, it is likely it will be AWD or 4x4.

Do Avis' carry the new prius? I'm considering paying now to get a good rate for one tomorrow, but only if I can get one of those. Trying to phone the airport (DTW) location to verify but no one answering.
Alternatively, what is considered "or similar" to that? Says group XC.

Similar cars would be any hybrid on the lot. That's most likely to be a Fusion as I've not seen another hybrid sedan/hatch in the Avis fleet lately.

Sorry for the late reply on this. For others that might stumble on it: Avis does have the 2018 Prius, but it very well could still be a 2017 floating around. However, they're almost identical so I wouldn't worry if it's a "new" one.

hey folks, apologize if this isnt the right place to ask.
but does anyone know if theres a list of avis locations that offer their signature series cars? for example I was thinking of traveling in the PacNW area shortly, but was surprised that neither PDX nor SEA had signature series vehicles available. is it just no availability on my particular days or do they just even have those sorta cars up there?

Just got told by a partner to AVIS that the following models in Group K is: Ford Mustang GT Convertible, Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible and Chevrolet Camaro Convertible.
Can anyone confirm that?
I’m about to rent a convertible for the summer in Cali, but if any chances of getting a beetle then I will go with hertz exact model.

Hello everyone !
1st of all, I apologize for my bad english (I come from Belgium's french speaking part)
We booked a Cat P 12 passenger van at Miami airport (for 5 adults, a child, and a lot of luggages for 3 weeks... it was the only solution), thank you so much for the fleet list !
Here is my question : Do you think there will be some Ford E350 or Chevy Express at the pick up ? We don't want a Ford Transit, mayeby it's kinda weird for you, but for us the Transit looks like to much Europpean to enjoy the US roads. We are a little bit desapointed, because the Ford Transit is the newest one

Group B in Maui?
HI
We will be hiring a group B car in Maui for 9 days. Only 2 of us but have 2 large suitcase and 2 cabin suitcases. A ford focus is ok but group B includes a mini as well, which will definitely be not ok.
Any suggestions of what cars they have in group B category or should I upgrade to a group C?
Any thoughts welcome.
