Needed a little more space this time for both passengers and luggage so booked a group C (Astra) in hope for the double upgrade to something like a 3008, but as they were so low on fleet (never seen car park so empty) I ended up with a 7 seater Auto 5008 which if I would have actually booked would have cost around Ł80 a day while I don't think I'm even paying Ł20 a day... ^

I was similarly offered a big Pug estate instead of thy Audi; maybe next time but I needed good fuel efficiency for this trip. Full tank prepay paid off: Glasgow > Norfolk > Stansted > Cambridge > Heathrow (550 miles?) on one tank ^
Meanwhile, at LHR this morning I spotted a number of newly delivered MG6 hatchbacks. Brave decision to add the first production model of a new manufacturer to the fleet. The Avis Facebook page says that 100 examples arrived before Christmas, but I couldn't get confirmation on which car class they'll enter.

Oddly enough, no vehicles in that class available, so I got an Audi A4 Technik 2.0TDi, which is listed as group F.
When I booked back in October the Glasgow city centre branch was listed as open, but since then has decided to close for the entire of Christmas/New Year. So a trek out to Glasgow Airport, where the Audi and a fuel discount was offered in compensation. I'm not a snob, so happy enough. Didn't know it was a group F, though!

The Peugeot RCZ, Alfa Guilietta, Fiat 500, Citroen DS3 will be back.
Strong rumours of VW Golf convertables!

Hi, MG6 are in Group D. As they are in limited quantities be aware it's not guaranteed.

Hi, just want to share with you that the Audi A4 Group F is now part of the Select range. The Select range is currently limited to LHR LGW MAN due to large de-fleeting of these modles, however it will be back stronger over the next few weeks once new stock is added back to the fleet.
The Peugeot RCZ, Alfa Guilietta, Fiat 500, Citroen DS3 will be back.

I also thought the A4 has been part of the select series for ages now (unlike the BMW 3 series that used to be part of the select series and now in the regular fleet) though I might be wrong...
If the roumurs about the Golf are true that would be great as its been a few years now since last had a convertible on the fleet (the last they had were 307CCs and at some point some Megane CCs as well).

Glad to hear the RCZ is coming back, but I'm confused about your comments about the Guilietta and the 500, as far as I'm aware they never went anywhere, and DS3 must have left the fleet very recently as I hired one just 3 weeks ago...

Hi,
Guiliette - Very limited availabilty as they are now almost near of of life with Avis, majority of them have been de-fleeted, the few that are left have a very limited life left with Avis.
DS3 - Again literally about 10 or so left on fleet, again almost all de-fleeted now, hence the odd one still knocking around
Fiat 500 - Some new ones starting to be bought onto fleet, so availability will increase over next 3-4 weeks
Audi A4 / BMW3 Series - Appear to have had an identity crisis of late and maybe see some stringent definition of it wanting to be a Select car or not....
Hope this clears up some of the confusion?
rgds, Olivetti
