Has anyone rented from Avis recently? I just got an email saying that anyone renting using a corporate AWD code must show ID and proof of employment at pickup. Is this standard practice now? If so, I’m SOL since I grabbed that AWD off the master discount list that floats around here.

I’ve gotten the same email and still haven’t ever been asked to show any ID.

What do you mean by Original ID?

I got the same email in Denver, however they had contactless checkout so I didn’t even have to show a drivers license for the first time ever. However, I could’ve shown and ID if I needed too.

I did also rent a room at Marriott and for the second time in 14 years I was asked to show Corporate ID proof. I did t have anything on me, so I pulled up my linked in profile, so that worked.

Seems like I’m the minority here, but I just don’t get this. We make enough to pay for a rental car, if you’re using codes for other employers, it’s a blatant form of dishonesty. Sure it doesn’t hurt anyone, it just also doesn’t seem worth the effort/potential stress.

KPMG the rental car companies are not thinking about whether it’s moral or not when they make a huge profit off of your business by charging far above market rate for a car.

All rental co are cracking down at busy locations. I have been checked for my corp ID/business card lately.

Not going to read all the other comments but this is the norm for past 2 months at least. I rented in early March, not proof of employment, but it has changed since. Probably a result of commonality of discount codes as they have been in tik toks

Required by Avis as of two weeks ago in SFO. I also had to use my Accenture email to complete the booking. They sent a code to the email to finish so I couldn’t even have just entered a fake one. I’ve been asked for ID before, but the email confirmation step was a first.

Still got that ACN business card just in case. Not being an ass but do they really get paid enough to care

Having spent the first part of my career in jobs like that, no, they do not, but they also fear getting fired for not following policy.

I've gotten that message but never needed to show a badge.

I used a Microsoft code that I got off the master discount list that has floated around. I was ID and I gave them the Accenture code, and they didn't ask for verification

Required by Avis 3 days ago. Just flashed them my office ID badge. Email or business card also works
