Hey there! So, I’m a member of the AVIS Presidents Club and I’ve got this sweet corporate discount deal where I pay $30 a day for a full-size sedan. Usually, when I book a full-size sedan, I end up getting upgraded to a midsize SUV – it’s pretty cool, right? I even lucked out once and scored a signature series G80E! But now, I’ve got some upcoming trips where I need a bit more space, so I’m thinking about whether it’s smarter to rent a full-size and then try to upgrade through the app or at the desk, or if I should just make a new booking for the bigger car I actually need.
I’m also curious if it’s okay to book two cars – one full-size sedan in the hopes of snagging an upgrade, and another in the class I really need. Will AVIS frown upon double bookings? Should I stagger the pickup times to make it less obvious? And what are the typical upgrade routes for a full-size sedan or a midsize SUV? What exactly is a “2car upgrade” from a full-size sedan or midsize SUV?
As an AVIS Presidents Club member, it’s always great to take advantage of those sweet perks. With my corporate discount, I typically pay just $30 a day for a full-size sedan. Whenever I reserve a full-size sedan, I often find myself cruising in a midsize SUV instead – talk about a nice surprise! I even once got to enjoy a luxurious signature series G80E upgrade. But now, as I plan for my upcoming trips that require a bit more room, I’m contemplating the best strategy for securing a larger vehicle.
I’m considering whether it’s more cost-effective to initially book a full-size sedan and then explore opportunities to upgrade through the AVIS app or at the rental desk, especially if the upgrade isn’t complimentary. Alternatively, I’m weighing the option of simply making a fresh reservation for the appropriate car size from the get-go.
Additionally, I’m pondering the idea of booking two vehicles – reserving a full-size sedan with hopes of a complimentary upgrade, alongside another reservation for the class of car I genuinely need. I wonder if AVIS monitors or disapproves of customers making double bookings and if it would be wise to stagger the pickup times to minimize suspicion.
Furthermore, I’m curious about the usual paths for upgrades from a full-size sedan to a larger vehicle such as a midsize
