Question Who has received an Avis rental car on special

Well in the spirit of discussion, I and many others would like to be to follow along on who actually gets their reservation honoured by Avis.

I will not be in Aruba until December but I know many of you will be going in the upcoming months and did book with Avis on the special for either a van or small car.

I as well as others, would like to have some feed back from the people who are dealing with Avis Aruba whether it is getting the reservation honoured or perhaps some difficulty in getting them to respond or respect the reservation. We need to keep each other informed so we know what to expect.

I think because of this BB, Avis Aruba has finally backed down and is honouring our reservations. Please let all of know what is going on?

Thanks and....

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Thanks CindyO, I think that swagmaster's good words for Avis would have been different had we not pushed for a good resolution to this situation. Of course, we are hoping that all the reservations will be honoured especially when we get into the busy season.

In the spirit of co-operation, I asked before on the other thread if I should possibly change my signature... I am considering altering but not eliminating it as we are not home free yet.

Just got a phone call from a friend who has a reservation with our "Avis aruba special". Lidia confirmed that they will honour the reservation. She had arranged a Sunday to Sunday reservation and asked if it could be changed to a Saturday to Saturday. No such luck, oh well!

I still say it is because of all of us on the board that we have been able to have our reservations honoured. People, we have done good....

WHY WOULD THEY NOT HONOUR IT???

I am going to PM you with the guy's name at Customer service. Explain to him that Lidia went ahead and cancelled your reservation (that is what she told me but she never did) and requested you rebook (she did that to me also but I did not rebook) and now you are aware that everyone who didn't rebook is getting their reservations honoured.

THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!!!
