As of 2/12/14: We've had quite a few "Hey, come use this AWD. It's great" type of posts. When the AWD doesn't give a good discount, but is only posted to try to get renters to use the AWD of someone so the poster can earn free days from their Avis Corporate account. From here out, please put the company/trade group/etc that's associated with the AWD or we'll delete the post to keep it on-topic here.

Try Avis San Remo (just over the border) to Venice and you'll save 850 euros.
Then take a taxi/train from Nice to pick up your car in San Remo.

AWD codes are not a fixed flat percentage off. They vary by the locations that the corporate customer negotiated. I'm sure that you will find that the code you mentioned is nowhere near 30% off when used by business travelers when traveling in non-Disney areas.

I am trying to find a good rate for a FS vehicle @ HNL, pickup midday on 11 Aug and return at 10am on 14 Aug. The best that I can do so far is $120 all in.
All assistance is appreciated.

Juneau, Alaska
This is my first post, so hopefully, I am following the rules. I have read through pages of posts looking for an Avis discount code for Juneau, Goldbel Hotel location. It is near the cruiseport, which is probably why they do not honor any discounts that I have found. Has anyone had any luck with codes here? Thanks for your help.

I know it gets mentioned many times in this forum to not just book a rental and forget it but to periodically check and rebook as rates tend to get lower closer to the time of pick up. I always do this, usually about a week or two before my rental, and I've really gotten to see this demonstrated over the past week.
I booked a rental car, pick up at IAH, for 3/6/15-3/8/15 (3 days total + free day coupon). I booked a Standard car on 2/25/15 for $24/day ($90 total & same price as intermediate). On the 26th, i checked rates again--intermediate, standard, and full size were all $23/day, so i bumped myself up to a full size and rebooked at the lower price. On the 27th, down another $1/day. 28th, 1st, and now 2nd--all the same story. I'm now down to $19/day ($77 total). Also interesting, Hertz has been matching them every single day. I'm not sure whose rates are driving the others, but it's kind of interesting to see it happen. I'm hoping it continues all the way up to Friday when i pick up the car!

Trust me, we have north of 100 discount codes for Avis on file and even with our automated system checking them all more often than not come up empty when searching locations in Alaska. It's not just the Goldbelt Hotel location, it's all of them, especially outside Anchorage and Fairbanks--Kodiak, Sitka, Skagway, etc., where competition is less of a factor.
If you (hint, hint) work for a large corporation that has a negotiated discount with Avis for its employees, those may work and take a small discount off, but rarely do legitimate affiliation discounts (not to mention promotional coupons) work in smaller towns in Alaska.

I always do this, usually about a week or two before my rental, and I've really gotten to see this demonstrated over the past week.
But in the rural Alaska locations mentioned by itskeb, we've noticed rates are pretty stable. We've booked cars in Kodiak, Sitka, Skagway, Kenai, etc. and really, rates don't change. Perhaps because competition is so nonexistent, they just set their rates and don't bother to do anything with them until they sell out.
But absolutely outside of Alaska, rates change all the time, sometimes as often as hourly, so it pays to pay attention to your reservation.
