1st of all, if you have time, always ask for a rate at the UK reservation centre AND the one in the country you wish to reserve the car from. This is because sometimes there are local promotions, which make it cheaper to reserve the car by phoning AVIS in the country where you intend to pick it up.
If you are member of any airline programme, you will be given some discount. If you have an executive BA card, you can tell them you have gold status and thus qualify for a higher discount.
Always ask the code for the rate you have been quoted on the phone. Unfortunately Avis have a tendency of billing you at a different rate than the one you had agreed on the phone!
Try to reserve a car for at least 3 days, there is not really too much difference in price between 2 and 3 days rental.
If you have a Gold BA card, you are entitled to an automatic upgrade, if there is availability. However, each country have different categories and quite frankly, you may disagree on the way they categorize cars. the Mercedes class A, for example, is in a very high class, above the Alfa Romeo 156!
