We've been trying for a week to book a combined flight + rental car via BA in Marseille in October. The computer says no... because Avis are short of available rental cars. A shame because the combined deal with BA & Avis was a damn good price.

Have now booked flight with BA and separately booked a car with Hertz.

Have Avis got a problem?

There have been widespread problems across Europe all summer due to a combination of poor forecasting (perceived lack of demand due to recession) and access to finance for new fleets. Try Spain this year - very difficult.

+ 1 on all of the above. Huge problems in Spain this year - there are almost zero hire cars free in Mallorca for most of the summer.
