Car hire when booking a BA flight
Hi,
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but its in association with booking BA flights!!
I've booked a few flights upto ABZ in the next 6 weeks including car. It says Exec members can get a 2nd driver insured for free. I would like to take advantage of this however Mrs ML will not be arriving until the day after i arrive. As such will it still be possible to put her on the insurance even though she wont be present when i collect the car?
Thanks
ML

Be aware that when booking a cat with your flight you probably won't get any Avios - I never have. And because you don't a rental agreement number you can't claim after the event. Also if you have Preferred status that won't show on a BA booking.

If you go to any Avis rental office with your agreement, your wife's driving license, (and your wife) plus your shiny BA card they will happily add Mrs Mountlodge to the booking.
I have done it several times in differing offices.
