Will Avis match status?

I am currently a Hertz Five Star and very unhappy with Hertz. Would Avis match my status, and is it worth it? Thanks!

I'm not familiar with Avis status-matching, but it's worth asking. I'm not sure what they would upgrade you to, though.. maybe First. I'll let you search around and see. From previous posts here, I don't see them ever status-matching to Chairman's or President's Club.

Did you try doing a search?
"status match" = several relevant threads, including this one http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/avis/...tus-match.html

I can't believe National only matches Avis CC to Executive Elite. CC gets lumped together with PC.

OTOH, I've heard that National only has 31 Executive VIPs nationwide, so presumably they don't want to dilute that segment.

I've matched my Hertz 5* to Preferred First after a few mails. They want to see that I've made the needed yearly turnover for the status.

I got a status match only because my company changed contracts from National to Avis.

I don't think there's ever been a "public" one discussed/mentioned. The options would be:
1. If you're a corporate traveler, ask your corp travel manager for the right contact at Avis for your company
2. Go the standard "contact us" link at Avis.

Good luck!

I emailed them recently asking about status match. Unless you get something out of a corporate contract, Avis does not do status matches at this time.

This quote seems to be proof it's possible .

I was recently given the same information- it must be part of the corporate contract or they will not match.

avis will never, but I just matched from avis to Hertz, and I'm much happier.
The only problem I noticed with Hertz, is they consistently miss crediting rentals

I've been with Hertz since 2000, and been quite happy. The service at some locations has dropped a lot - esp. the Local Edition.

But I have never experienced missed rental/credits. In fact I don't even take a receipt from them when returning anymore, because of their electronic system. Strange that you are seeing missed credits.

I too need to do a status match now with Avis because of Corporate reasons. Hope I will get something decent for President's Circle. Will they do a challenge like the airlines do?

Hate to bump an old thread but it certainly looks like they do it now: https://statusmatch.avisservices.com/StatusMatch

Has anyone done this recently? How long does it really take? I have a rental on Friday and I know it's a stretch but I'm curious if anyone has had it done in under a week. I am matching from Hertz PC.
