    Identification of membership is required at the time of rental.

    Used the code approx 20-25 times and have NEVER been asked for any form of proof.
    Having said that I do have a discount code which I'm fully entitled to use through my employer which gives a very good discount and used to use that for years. I was supposed to provide proof of my employment at the time of collection for that code, but again it was NEVER asked for.
    Rental agents are only interested in getting another car out of the car park, NOT enquiring about how you got such a good rate !

    If you're still wary then make two reservations. One with Avis using the code and another back-up one with whoever is the cheapest. Personally i wouldn't bother though !!!

    Have used it many times all over europe without the slightest problem. Use Avis.COM rather than CO.UK and you're still get the cheaper price without the need to pay up front.

    Which code is it you've used? The A153700 Avis employee code? I'm off to Portugal in September, do you think I should try with this code?
