Avis code

I was looking for the best rate and found it with this code: A153700. Can anyone tell me what this code is for and if it's wise to use it. Thanks!

The code trouble my friend. Don't use it. I had luck with C031529 (some technology corporation) at various locations.

yes. And I have been the one to question them.

A153700-A153799 will always be questioned.
ALWAYS.

By rule, any AWD code that pops up as "corprate will need some sort of ID.
Just two months ago, AARP and a few others, the computer prompts the employee to get proof of eligibility. Within a matter of a year every company corporate account (if the company requests it) will ask for ID or proof. That doesnt mean the agent will ask you for it.

Most of the special discounts seem to end on December 31st. I have to be in Atlanta in early January. Does anyone have any good codes?

Thanks

Try L093590. It includes free LDW. Have used this code for years with great success. I was not aware that some of the other codes expired at the end of the year.

Have anyone actually tried to claim insurance with this code? Was it succesful?

I have heard three cases of people getting caught and placed on the do not rent list.

Wow, back the bus up. Getting caught using an AWD you are not authorized for get you one way ticket to do not rent list? Besides, I was under the impression L093590 is a free for all code.

I've used the LDW feature 2x that I can remember in the past . Each was a relatively small issue, but no problem each time. A co-worker of mine did some really substantial damage, and after filling out the Avis report, he never had another contact with Avis re: the accident. I have no idea what the Avis policy is on followup to LDW claims....but I suspect they are not too rigid. I'd like to hear if anyone has ever been denied LDW as per the situation you described above. I've never once seen it on this board where anyone has had an issue with LDW.

Ezmonee, can you tell us a bit more about the cases you mentioned?(i.e. codes used, exact issue that caused the Do Not Rent, etc.). I don't doubt your information, it's just that my first hand experience has been just the opposite. Also....in the worst case scenario that the LDW is declined, the credit card coverage or personal auto policy coverage can be implemented at any time. I don't see the issue or risk, in my opinion.

If anyone reading this has ever been declined LDW using one of the "open" codes, please educate us. Thanks.

I wonder what would happen if Avis declined to honor the "included" LDW waiver, and assessed the renter for damages. Would the credit card insurance coverage be declined because LDW was not "declined" on the original rental?

LDW was declined on the original rental. Because LDW is included in the rental rate, I have to initial (decline) the additional LDW on every contract.

Any new valid code for Marshall School of Business of USC

Yhe old code does not seem to work anylonger - it served very well in Europe some 30 - 40% off.
Can you suggest something comparable or the new code Marshall? Please.
