Avis preferred first time

Having used BA flydrive twice before this is the first time I have been able to book and use the preferred number. I know our name will not be up on the board but will we be able to go to the garage to the little kiosk therefore not having to stand in the slowest moving queue on earth lol before we can collect the car? Thanks

Yes, just go to the garage. You name will be on the boards, when they work, and it will say either go to kiosk or say what bay your car is in. If you have a credit card linked to your Avis preferred account you could find it says a bay number.

It was my first time as 'Preferred' back in July (although not via BA, just independently).

I avoided the queues at the rental desks (and the biggest queue was at Avis!) and went straight across to the garage.

At the Avis section, my name was not on the board (screen), but I was told to expect that. But I did go to the kiosk just next to it to show my licence, and I was away in 5 mins.

From what I can gather:

1st time: go to garage
2nd time: name on the board and proceed straight to vehicle in designated bay. However you must have a valid credit card attached to account

I joined Avis Preferred in 2015 after booking the Avis car with the BA flights and then had to phone to link the Preferred number to the booking, although the Avis staff in the garage office had a job to find my booking on arrival. Also booked Avis with BA for this year and returned 06/10 - Avis Preferred number was entered this time when booked but my name didn't appear on the board in the garage so still had to queue for about 20 minutes to receive the car. Could have been due to the fact that our outbound flights were rebooked twice due to Hurricane Irma (we were originally due to travel 10/09)
