Getting Avis Preferred elite status can score you perks like a free additional driver and a free upgrade. If you don't already have Avis Preferred elite status, getting it may be as easy as filling out a web form or sending an email.<\/p>\n<p>Avis Preferred members can match their status from any one of five competing rental car programs. Although Avis' status match website specifically excludes U.S. and Canadian residents from applying, we have a scoop on how Americans and Canadians can still apply for an Avis status match.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we'll go over the details of the Avis status match program \u2014 including the restrictions and how to apply.<\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Avis_Status_Match_Program\">Avis Status Match Program<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#How_to_submit_your_Avis_status_match\">How to submit your Avis status match<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Eligible_countries\">Eligible countries<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#How_to_extend_your_matched_Avis_elite_status\">How to extend your matched Avis elite status<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Avis_Status_Match_for_US_and_Canadian_Residents\">Avis Status Match for U.S. and Canadian Residents<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Avis_Preferred_Status_Benefits\">Avis Preferred Status Benefits<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Avis_Preferred\">Avis Preferred<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Avis_Preferred_Plus\">Avis Preferred Plus<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Avis_President8217s_Club\">Avis President's Club<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Avis_Preferred_Sign-up\">Avis Preferred Sign-up<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Other_Ways_to_Get_Avis_Preferred_Status\">Other Ways to Get Avis Preferred Status<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Bottom_Line\">Bottom Line<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n<h2><span id=\"Avis_Status_Match_Program\">Avis Status Match Program<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although the website does not clearly mention this, Avis appears to have two separate loyalty programs: one for the U.S. and another for Europe and South Africa.

So, you'll want to wait until shortly before your next Avis rental to request your status match.<\/p>\n<p>Once matched, you must rent at least five times and spend over 1,000 euros (about $1,137) within those 12 months to keep Avis Preferred Plus. If you matched to President's Club, you'll need to rent at least 10 times and spend at least 2,000 euros (roughly $2,273) to extend this status.<\/p>\n<p>However, these requirements apply to the European Avis Preferred status match program. We can assume that you will need to reach the minimum requirements in the U.S. version of the program to maintain your status. For Preferred Plus, that's 10 rentals or $4,000 in 12 months, and for President's Club, it's 20 rentals or $6,000 in 12 months.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Avis_Status_Match_for_US_and_Canadian_Residents\">Avis Status Match for U.S. and Canadian Residents<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Avis status match webpage specifically states that it <strong>does not apply to residents in the United States and Canada. <\/strong>However, if you live in a country not on the above list \u2014 including the U.S. or Canada \u2014 you should still be able to get an Avis status match via email.<\/p>\n<p>Just send proof of your elite status with Hertz, Enterprise, Europcar, Sixt, or National to <strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"mailto:profile.update@avisbudget.com\" rel=\"noopener\">profile.update@avisbudget.com<\/a> <\/strong>along with your Avis Preferred number.

Here's a look at the benefits you can expect from each Avis Preferred tier.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Avis_Preferred\">Avis Preferred<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Entry-level Avis Preferred membership offers priority service as a perk of joining the Avis Preferred program. Plus, you can skip the line on most rentals and go straight to your car at pick-up time. Beyond that, Preferred status doesn't really have any benefits beyond earning points on rentals and accessories, which you can use for future rentals and accessories. Avis no longer offers vouchers after completing rentals.<\/p>\n<p>You can match your status from other car companies to Avis Preferred, but that's pointless, as you get Preferred status automatically when you join.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/car-rental\/autoslash\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Beginner's Guide to Saving on Car Rentals Using AutoSlash<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Avis_Preferred_Plus\">Avis Preferred Plus<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the U.S., Avis Preferred Plus status requires 10 rentals <strong>or<\/strong> $4,000 spent within a year.
