Avis Preferred loyalty
Join our Loyalty programme and enjoy life in the fast lane
As a loyalty programme member you will have access to the benefits of our priority service straight away. Plus, when you book direct with us you won’t find a cheaper Avis car anywhere else.
Here are some of the benefits that will come your way:
A 15 EUR voucher for your next trip after two rentals.- A voucher for a free weekend after three rentals.
- Priority service every time - jump the queue with pre-prepared paperwork and your vehicle at the ready.
- Keys and paperwork waiting - in some locations, your keys and paperwork will be waiting for you in the car.
- Exclusive access to our newest cars
- Cars parked in the most convenient spaces in our car park
Avis Preferred is available 3,000 car hire locations worldwide – and membership is completely free.
Book direct on this website making sure you are signed in to your Avis Preferred account. This way we can guarantee you access to the best deals.
At some hire stations your car will be waiting with the keys inside, so you can bypass the rental counter entirely.*
Rented with us in the last six months? You can retroactively add rentals to your loyalty account. That way you can get to your rewards even quicker.

Membership tiers
The more rentals you make with Avis Preferred, the more rewarding it gets. With three membership tiers based on your rental history over the last year, there are pleasant surprises in store for everyone – from car upgrades to free weekend getaways.
Sign up to Avis Preferred for free, rent within the first 60 days of sign-up to receive a bonus of €100 ´loyalty value´, taking you closer to the next membership tier Avis Preferred Plus. This value will be credited within five days of the rental car being returned to us; at which point, it can be viewed in your online account. This bonus only applies to new members.
Hire with us 5 times or more (and spend €1,000) within a year and you’ll automatically qualify for Avis Preferred Plus. You can now enjoy priority car availability, receive a complimentary vehicle upgrade (of one car group) whenever available and get a free second driver on every trip, besides the benefits of Avis Preferred.
Hire 10 times (spending €2,000) to join our highest tier, Avis President's Club.
