Here's an update on my experience: I reserved a compact at LAX for 7 days with the D005297 code at $200 (inc. all taxes), half the price of the corporate rate I could get. Avis gave me a small Hyundai SUV - which I think was an upgrade. I'm Avis Preferred, and they didn't ask for anything additional when I picked up the car.
The only issue I have now is I want to extend the rental for another two days, which will cost me $41 a day before tax, which I hate to pay since it's way more expensive on a daily basis than the 7 day rate I received!

Update on A113400 - Don't use it!
I used the A113400 state of FL rate over the weekend. When I showed up to pickup my car it wasn't on the board (my flight was over an hour late). I went to the preferred counter and the agent gave me a hard time. Asked for state of FL ID and proceeded to tell me that Avis is looking at all use of this code very carefully because "it's one of the most abused codes in the system" and "somehow it has gotten out and people who are not supposed to be using it are".

So then what happened? Did they rent you anything at all?
can anyone recommend a code that works to lower prices in HI, hawaii, maui? I have tried my old standbys, but nothing seems to do anything for a few weeks from now.

They did, but it was a stressful start to my weekend. Possibly he let it go because I am a President's club member and I had some back story prepared. I also had a backup at another rental in place.
I definitely did not get my President's Club automatic 2 car class upgrade - in fact I'm not even sure I got the Full Size I paid for!

I am a USAA Member but have never used any of their codes for a rental nor have I used Avis before. I usually use Hertz with a Southwest Airlines or AAA code. I know the Avis AWD is A177232, but are there any coupons/coupon codes out there associated with USAA and Avis and if so, do you have to present an actual coupon upon rental?

Go to the USAA website and look up car rental. I'm booking a trip to London and am looking for good deals. There are coupons there that may apply. So far though I'm getting slightly better rates using the AA code - but one difference is the USAA code allows for additional drivers.

I haven't posted on here for awhile so I apologize if the codes and coupons I list are a repeat. I am flying back to FL to visit family and have found that AWD K199060 (Florida tourism can be used by anyone) gave me a weekly rental for $190.82 (renting in Tallahassee and dropping off in Tampa with NO drop off fee). I coupled that with coupon UUWA055 (electronic coupon that doesn't need to be presented) for a free upgrade (only on subcompact, compact, and intermediate class).
Here a links to other Avis discounts and/or coupons. Good luck and have a safe trip!
That is all I can post at this time (the kids sound as if they are attempting to kill one another). Hopefully this information helps out and once again, I apologize if the items I've listed are repeats.
The Farmers code recently was a couple of bucks less but I ended up not getting FF miles. Avis replied that it doesn't qualify for FF earning.
I've found the same thing with the Farmers code and no FF miles/points recently. Also, there's a new issue with the Farmers code - it seems to only give 125 miles per day, whereas it generally used to give unlimited mileage. I just made a booking and noticed this. I did several test bookings at other airports and found it was the same at all of them, so I think it may be a global change for this code. Beware!

Welcome to FT! You're better off looking/posting in the Germany forum. You should have better luck there b/c you're not limiting yourself to one car company.
After about a week of unsuccessful searches for one-way SF Bay Area to Long Beach rentals without a drop fee, I found success using A972200. No drop fee whatsoever using this code. YMMV.
Helpful discounts and coupons
