Members can choose the exact car they want, control their experience from start to finish, get real-time updates for peace of mind, and more.
Avis Preferred members who elect to earn Avis Preferred Points can earn one point for every dollar they spend on vehicle rentals and two points for every dollar they spend on optional products. Earned points can be redeemed for Avis rental days, upgrades, and select optional products. Avis Preferred members enrolled in “Drive Free” will earn rental day rewards, in addition to the points they earn on every qualifying rental.
