We have a reservation for a rental at RSW using the Orlando MagicCard rate. Information provided about this corporate rate says that the additional driver fee is included. However, on our confirmation, it says that an additional driver will be charge 9.95/day. Does anyone have any experience using this code at RSW? Will we have trouble getting the additional driver added on at no charge?

Thanks!

I don't have actual experience at RSW, but normally, the negotiated benefits of a Corporate Discount number will trump any other terms and conditions of a reservation or rental. When you apply a Corporate Discount number to a reservation, Thrifty's system is not sophisticated enough to actually change the reservation's Terms and Conditions to match the terms of the corporate agreement. Therefore, I wouldn't worry that the reservations Terms and Conditions still show an additional driver fee. It might not be a bad idea to go to Thrifty.com, put in RSW and random dates and the Orlando Magicard discount number, and print the next screen that shows:

Corporate Rate Includes:

* Any applicable additional driver fees
* Unlimited mileage within contiguous states

as well as the actual Orlando Magicard website page that shows:

Thrifty Car Rental provides on-airport service along with great cars and great rates! Other features include: frequent flyer miles, express check out and more. GPS and Express Pass services also available.

Use corporate number 004M001010 and receive discounted rates, free unlimited mileage, free additional driver fee, plus receive Blue Chip Express Rewards.

in case the rental agent is unfamiliar with the account.

Make sure to download and print your actual Magicard in case the agent wants to see proof that you qualify for the account. (Magicards are free.)

Thanks for the reply! That's exactly what I was hoping! Sounds like this is one of those situations where I might have been better off not ready the fine print. We'll take all the documentation, and here's hoping everything will go smoothly. If it doesn't, I'll be sure to post a heads up, so others will be aware.

Does anybody have any recent experience using the Orlando Magicard discount and additional driver fees being waved? I asked because when I made my reservation at RSW, the corporate rate showed the unlimited mileage condition, but showed nothing regarding free add. driver.

They removed the free additional driver benefit from this discount.
