I done a pre payment for a pick up at Madrid, and pre paid on Avis uk.

The payment did trigger, but, a few things to note.

The exchange rate they done was terrible, in addition, because it was pre paid, the Avis site themselves weren’t making the money on the rental, so they lied on the bill at the end and said they had to refill it, and I’d asked for an extra driver to be covered, but, you don’t find this out until you get an invoice a few days later.

Also, if it’s a business rental for work, the terrible rate they’ve swapped the gbp to euro to act as a pre payment transfer on the invoice, means you’ll get less back in gbp.

All in, for £50 not worth the hassle and I would do it again, and in fact I wouldn’t use Avis / budget again because of it.
