Avis makes sincere, successful attempt

The Avis car rental company's slogan is "We try harder." Indeed, I posit that they try so hard they actually succeed.

Trying to rent a car for my upcoming honeymoon. We need to pick it up in Melbourne, and drop it off in Adelaide. A one-way, international rental. Finding a company that will let you do this is like uncovering the Holy Grail. Except it is unlikely that the four-door compact we are renting contains the blood of Christ in the person of his daughter with Mary Magdalene.

Anyway. After checking all the big guys to no avail -- Hertz, Thrifty, Budget -- I tried Avis. And they allow it! They are all, rent the car wherever you want, drop it off wherever you want! Knock yourself out, one-way driver! So, Avis gets an unsolicited testimonial on my blog, which only two people read, but still.
