I simply told the OP they can not do online checkin they can not skip the line.

You have to go to the desk just as you did.

My first time at Avis Miami I went to the desk in the main hall and no way did I wait hours, I walked straight up and was done in 5 minuites so not sure where hours come in to the wait, if you did not go there how do you know the wait time ?

You need to ensure your CC details and driving licence number is added to your Avis account.

Upon arrival, skip the Alamo desk in the airport and head to the garage kiosk. On your first visit your name will not be on the board, however at the kisok they will double check your card and DL and give you the paper work for your rental car.

If its your second or greater visit,your name should be on the board with car park space number, your paperwork will be in the car or issued on exit.
"skip the Alamo desk "
I am well aware you can with Alamo the OP is asking about Avis and unless it has changed your first rental even if you are preffered member you name and car allocation is not on the board and you ahve to go to some kind of desk be it in the main hall or the manned desk in the booth in the garage to be allocated a car

You can not do online check in as I said
You can not skip the line as I said
You need to go to a desk.

The point is that even first time you can go to the booth (or desk) in the garage. Unlike the main desks in the airport these do not seem to be on a bonus scheme for upselling you and so you get no hard sell just someone trying to give you the car you ordered. Makes life a lot easier after a long flight.
