As I am sure Bob1008 will agree, just blindly trying AWD numbers and coupon codes, a person is inviting problems. Without knowing which companies or associations are linked to what AWD numbers, a person has no way of knowing which numbers might be heavily restricted, or which numbers might require ID as part of the rate requirements. Just because a person gets away with using an AWD, because an Avis employee does not do their job properly, does not mean that same person will not get caught the next time. Any Avis employee at any time can ask a simple question which will invalidate the rental, such as, do you have your business card or company ID? Do you have your Costco membership card?

Of course, this will happen at the worst time, such as family vacation, with the kids cranky and needing to go to bed, and there you are, having your $238 weekly rental invalidated, and all of a sudden, the best available is $716 for the same week, and then, when you accept, the authorization (for triple the rental amount) will be put on your card, and then when you get to the hotel, there will not be enough room on your card for the hotel authorization, and pretty soon, you will be getting a divorce. Think this is crazy? Believe me, it is not, I have seen (all except the divorce part) it happen.

So, yes, Bob1008 is correct, that long list of AWD numbers (without the accompanying company or association info) and coupon codes (without full date and term information) is a very misleading and useless list.

Oh, if that's something that might result in divorce, you have other problems to deal with...

On a serious note, he could just (as you did) post a warning what might happen in some rare instances if you don't know the corp name. It doesn't make it "useless" or "misleading".
Mr. Sam probably worked hard to consolidate all codes here, and he did a wonderful job.
Totally unacceptable to bash someone like this.

Wow, amazing how some people on here are just so unthankful and so impolite

Thank you Sam for compiling the list, and for posting it here.

Bit of a long shot, but does anyone know of any codes that are good for DME airport in Moscow? Cheapest I can find for even a small car is Ł129, around $200 for 3 days. I've tried various codes, but no luck so far.

A new (i think) AWD that I got through an Avis iphone app:

S754600

seems to knock off about 20% on any avis site.

Knock 20% off what on what Avis sites?

Hello all!
First time poster in this forum - thanks to you all for the very helpful information thus far.
I've been trying to find a deal for an upcoming rental with Avis, and came across this code: X018184
Could anyone clarify if they know if this is a coupon code available for everyone's use or if it's a corporate code?

Cheers!

Almost all AWD numbers (begin with ONE LETTER, are NOT coupon codes) are either corporate or association numbers. A relative few are for the general public. Some AWD, which stands for Avis Worldwide Discount, are usable for the public, such as hotel loyalty program AWDs, airline frequent flyer AWDs, public association AWDs (such as AAA), or buyer program AWDs (such as Costco or BJ's Wholesale), trade association AWDs (such as the American Bar Association or National Association of REALTORS), or some other RELATIVELY public company/association/group, etc. Other AWDs are much more restrictive, and just about every AWD is subject to ID, upon request by an Avis team member, but the risk of ID request is fairly low to almost non-existent.

There are a few AWD numbers which are very risky to use without proper ID, because of the high discount afforded by that AWD number, and the high abuse, such as state and federal employee AWDs, and expensive membership programs, such as NetJets/Marquis Jets. The easiest AWDs to FAIL on are credit card associated AWD numbers, which give a good discount at time of reserving online, but then do not work at time of rental, because the attempted user does not have the credit card associated with that AWD, and in order to use that AWD, the subject credit card must also be used too.

In general, most reasonable people would consider any AWD which is unknown (meaning not knowing what company/association/group/credit card it is tied to) to be fairly to very risky, even though the actual chance of getting caught using a VERBOTEN AWD to be fairly small.

I hope that helps you, and others. If I have left anything out, I welcome comments and additions from others.

Fatwallet has a recent thread with TUEA002 free 2 weekend days code.
It is legit or simply reward redemption that would require a cert of some sort? It did allow me to book without avis account.

Hope you have a reward certificate to present.

Got $2 rental. Doesn't look like a redemption (as I'm logged in) but is the elite benefit.
Also, since it uses the coupon code, who should i try to earn points with?
can i not get the club carlson bonus?

Now there's an example of someone who truly does want something for nothing, actually something for less than nothing! Geez!
