Mobile AVIS at Miami Int. Airport

Booked the BA flydrive with AVIS car hire at Miami, group F Ford Escape. I think its allocated to me rather than getting a choice, is that correct and what's the chances of an upgrade in October? TIA

We were allocated a vehicle at MIA and TPA when we booked a BA / Avis flydrive, although we have Avis preferred so went straight to the garage and not sure if that makes a difference.

We booked a group B (Ford Focus or similar) last August through BA/Avis and because our flight arrived nearly an hour earlier our car wasn't ready so was upgraded to a Group G top spec Chevrolet Impala.

We’re prefered members and always go straight to the garage, last year they upgraded us to a suburban after we got to the bay and someone had taken the car we were allocated. This was August.

Thanks guys, I should have mentioned I've already signed up for preferred though this is my first time using AVIS. I normally use Alamo.

First booking need to go to the desk and do the paper work your name and bay will not be showing on the board.
You will then be allocated a bay number to find your car.

Thanks Tel n Kel, would that be the desk in the main building or the kiosk within the garage?

My first time I went to the desk in the rental hall, I had to go through the booking process checking my card and driving license.

I do not know if you can do the same going to the box in the garage but you walk through the rental hall to go to the garage anyway.
