Earn 9,000 Avios for a 3-day Avis weekend car rental
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
Avios (through Iberia Plus) and Avis have teamed up to offer another generous car rental promotion. It’s nowhere near as good as the ‘18,000 Avios for a weekend rental’ offer they ran 18 months ago but it is certainly pretty decent.
Full details can be found – in English – on the Avis / Iberia Plus microsite here.
Here are the core terms and conditions:
You earn at least 9,000 Avios. This consists of 8,300 bonus Avios and the usual spend-based Avios award which, for a 3-day rental, is at least 700 Avios.
Your rental must include a Saturday night
Your rental must be for at least 3 days
You must rent a Group C car or higher
You must complete your rental by 15th December
You must book at iberia.com or rentacar-iberia.com or avis.es
Not valid on Corporate AWD rentals, Prestige rentals, Chauffeur Drive or Van rentals
Valid for all participating offices in Spain mainland, Balearics and Canaries, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, The Netherlands and United Kingdom
It may take 8 weeks for the bonus Avios to arrive
Vehicles must be collected and returned on the dates booked. Any cars not checked out and returned as per the booking will not qualify. [This means you cannot pick up the car, drive it around the block and return it immediately – it must be returned on the booked return date]
You need to credit the rental to an Iberia Plus account to receive the 9,000 Avios. You will NOT receive the points if you give a British Airways, AerClub, Vueling Club or avios.com number.
You can move the Avios over to British Airways using the ‘Combine My Avios’ function on any of the Avios websites, although if your Iberia Plus account is brand new you will need to wait until it is 90 days old.
If you can pick up a car for £20 per day then you could pick up some reasonably priced Avios points here. That said, it isn’t worth doing purely for the points unless you have a convenient and cheap Avis depot near you and somewhere to park the car for 72 hours.
If you do need a car for a long weekend over the next two months, however, then this is well worth a look.
You can learn more on the Avis / Iberia website here.
