Avis booked through BA

Hi,

I have car hire booked through BA with Avis and wondered how this works at the airport and also can you get upgrades through Avis Preferred?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Is this your first time with Avis preferred? If so you will need to present your driving licence at tge garage booth.
There is a swap lane, but quite honestly, if you want an upgrade I would do it with BA before you go

The swap lane was done away with so sadly no longer exists.

They generally give you a couple of options of cars if they have the stock available, if not then it's an allocated car.

If you want an upgrade, you'll need to pay for it, unless you've used preferred a few times and qualify for a free upgrade but that only comes with a certain level of status.

Hey I am a long term lurker on here but joined specifically to reply to this!

I just upgraded today with BA (going next week) from a Ford Focus to a Ford Escape (class c car to class f). When she went to see the price difference it ended up in me getting a £4 refund because there was a sale on!

No idea how this worked but maybe give them a phone today and see if you get lucky as well.
