Hi, when reaching Velocity Gold I applied for the Europcar status match and got the equivalent in Privilege Executive. When researching the benefits through the Europcar T&C's I came across this gem and wondered whether people were aware of it and whether anyone had taken advantage of it yet...

Hi -have booked into the PE for SYD->Rarotonga. My initial seating was in the red circled area but as you can see from the graphic the seating looks like it has less leg space than the other rows. I have since changed to row 25, a couple of rows ahead, but does anyone know whether is an actual...

Hi, In the next few months I'll have the opportunity of earning enough SCs to go Platinum on my own or gold for both my wife and me. I read up on the benefits of Platinum vs Gold membership but wanted to ask here what is your real-world experience with using one versus the other? Which option...
