I have to admit I’m starting to obsess about the car I’ll end up driving. This isn’t helped by the dodgy motors I’ve hired from Avis. Now the Avis Preferred scheme is great. They drop you off th ebus right next to your car and off you go. The downside is that you don’t get to negotiate what the car is. So I’ve had some pretty poor cars that drive like blancmange.
So when I ended up with a LINCOLN I called them up to check my preferences – just to make sure I hadn’t inadvertently ticked the “old man car” box along the way. Anyway, I spoke to some nice chap there who understood my concerns and said he’d put my preference down for smaller and sportier cars.
The next time I picked one up I was confronted with this. Give me strength.
