You’ve just had a bit of a sneak preview of the Scirocco because Avis Prestige was due to take delivery but it has now been delayed. For this reason it has been removed off the website. But I will update you with the answers to your questions when it becomes available.

Not directly related to the normal fleet but to the Prestige fleet (which I presume we can discuss here…?)
Very happy to see the Scirocco on there which must be new as when I checked a couple of weeks ago it wasn’t there…

Anyway, in regards to that, I wanted to know which model it was they had on the fleet, was it the 1.4, 2.0 petrol or 2.0 diesel?
And has it got built in satnav and leather.

Many thanks!
Robert

Hi Shazz, the new shape A4 on the Avis Prestige range is a 2.0 litre TDi SE with satellite navigation fitted as standard. We also have a similar spec on our Select Series fleet although there is currently no way to guarantee that you will get the new shape and it does not come fitted with sat nav as standard.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

And before anyone ask, we didn’t manage to get any of these beautiful motors as management cars!

Rob did try his luck of course!

Hi Robert, I do remember you commenting on this. I did raise with the Avis Prestige team. I can’t remember what the response was to be honest. I’ll have a chat with them and see what possibility there is of providing this information and post an update here. I completely agree with you though, and I’m sure the Avis Prestige team will as well.

Hi Alun, I would like to get to the bottom of the issues you have been experiencing if I can. Is the problem you’re experiencing on the Avis Prestige or the Avis.co.uk website? If you could email me at comments@avis.co.uk with any further information about the problem then I would be happy to investigate. I can also ask our reservation team to help you get a quote if you are able to email information about the car you are trying to book.

You don’t need to try very hard to get prices on your quotation page. Because of that I can not rent a car from you. Sorry

I think I have commented on this before, but I think it’s a shame that there isn’t more information on the cars that are being offered by the Prestige range.
The super cars are one thing, but with the normal road cars it would be usefully to have more information about what model is being offered.
If I am about to hire an A4 convertible, I want to know whether it is a diesel or petrol, and which one.
The BMW 3 series Saloon, is it a 320d, a 320i, perhaps a 325i?
If I’m thinking of hiring the XF (which I am by the way) I want to know whether it is the 2.7 Diesel or 3.0 petrol etc… (I think you get my point by now…)

Even with the normal Avis fleet there is usually more information about what model it is, engine size etc, and that is with cars that are not guaranteed.
Here we are booking a premium car, paying a lot of money for the pleasure, yet not given any information besides the most basic.
