Avis Presidents Club Experiences

[Princess Fiona]

Just thought I’d start a thread for this now that a few of us are PC thanks to QF P1.

I’ll kick off.
Tried to book online for FNQ but the location is sold out. One of the benefits is guaranteed vehicle even if sold out.
I called up reservations and after a bit of a hold they made a booking for me.
Received a call from the Manager of the branch later today confirming my booking and that they would look after me.

Will update what happens when I get there. It’s not until July

Following with interest as I also received this benefit. I do not normally use hire cars however have come to the realisation that if our third attempt to get to NZ this year is realised I will most likely need a hire car. I am not fussed about the vehicle class upgrades as I will book what we need, I am keen to know if the ‘guaranteed vehicle’ is honoured. Also as I have not looked at the T’s and C’s is this PC benefit from P1 limited to AU rentals or is global benefit.

I’ve been a PC member for years and apart from minor upgrades haven’t noticed much else. One exception was being able to request a car to be dropped off at my CBD hotel, which I don't think they offer anymore? To be fair I'm no longer a frequent renter. Never needed to use the gauranteed vehicle benefit.

I've just made my first booking as Avis PC (overseas). Anyone know if the advertised "with every booking, we will automatically give you a double upgrade" actually happens? I'm trying to figure out if I can get away with booking a small car, even though I'll be with wife, kids and a fair bit of luggage! I'm guessing that would be a bit risky, but interested to know of others' experiences.

Is the President's Club still only open to QF P1, or has it ever been opened to general members? I'm now hiring cars more than 180 days a year, and hopefully would be a candidate, if only they published qualification requirements!

For some reason Avis can't find my President's Club membership, and it wasn't attached to my old file.

Trying to update profile / licenses is IMPOSSIBLE as well (email in, no response back, wait 30 days).

So my experience keeps me at Hertz

Do you have a second Wizard number?

Otherwise, no saved intro emails or the like? I always keep and file that stuff away in a Travel mail folder.
