Infamous Avis code A113400 Fl State Employees
Anyone have recent experience trying to use this code without being a Florida State employee? I am stuck in a bad spot. Found this site as I've been looking for codes online.
Orlando over Xmas week. 12/26-1/3. Need a mini-van or full -sized SUV to fit 2 car seats, a wheelchair, luggage, a large double stoller (wide one), the kitchen sink, etc. I've plugged in over 175 codes from 4 different rental agencies. I bid daily on priceline (and now it says "Name Your Own Price is not available for the itinerary you requested. The best available rates are shown below." I can't seem to get the rates down to a reasonable level. Most are in the $1200-1400 range for 8 days... um, not in the budget. I found the magic code of A113400 for Fl state employees for about $320 out the door from Avis. Researching online it looks 50/50 if I'll get called to the carpet on it or not with my PA driver's lic. Anyone get through lately with it? I plan to sign up for Avis Preferred in hopes that I'll be allowed to skip the counter (where I assume the scrutiny would occur) and head to the mini-van without getting in trouble. I have a back-up rental at the same comapny (Avis) for a mini-van using the Citicorp Lesiure travel code A074800 for $478 out the door. I also have a Budget Ford Escape or similar res'd for $375 out the door as a 3rd option, although I'm feeling like I'll have to strap the wheelchair or double stroller or one of the kids to the roof to make everything fit into an Escape. I'm hoping that either somebody here can tell me the magic way to get the infamous Fl Employee code to work the day after Xmas in Orlando, or can find me another magic code that will work that I won't have to worry about so much .... or some other gem of advice! HELP!
