AVIS vs National?????

[sammysmom]

Last time we were at disney we rented from AVIS and loved the service since they are in the terminal and we went right out to the car. Does anyone know if National is in the terminal and if they offer the same "right to the car" service? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

National has Quick Rent where you book your car and then when you get there just head to the aisle of the car you booked and pick which one you want. Only down side, you cannot use a coupon.

But if you join their Emerald Club (free through a link at Mousesavers.com) then you can also bypass the counter and pick from the aisle you booked but you can also use a coupon. If you try and use an upgrade coupon or rent a carseat then you cannot bypass the counter.

I LOVE National!

Avis has a card where you go right to the garage, it's called a Wizard Card. However, they pre-assign your vehicle, you just pickup the keys and paperwork at the garage counter. They tell you the space # the car is in, you get in and then drive off, no booth after that. Both of the times I used Avis for business I got a crappy Chevy Classic. I have another trip in 2 weeks, we'll see what I get. I was happy that our travel system added National in place of Hertz this year but when I booked this trip it forced me to take Avis because it was cheaper ($35 vs $39 base rate for 1 day).
