Just want a 1-day one-way rental in SoCal (Pasadena to LAX).
Not a single code I have tried has resulted in any lower rate than had I not put a code at all. Does the site never show the savings until you actually show up at the office to rent the vehicle? (i.e. 'wow, I hope I entered a valid code'), or... have I been entering invalid/incompatible codes to what I want to do, and instead of the site showing me an error, it's simply accepting the code, but, leaving the price (rightfully I guess) unchanged.
If it's the case of the later, anyone have a nice code for a simple 1-day and one-way rental?
It shows the rate that is already discounted right at the rate screen. If the rates are all the same, chances are none works in your SoCal location.
I use Budget codes very often as there is an in-town location 2 miles from home and we often do 1 day rental for the transportation between home and MIA/FLL. The only annoying part is to make sure the gas surcharge is not billed because it is less than 75 miles. I always show the gas station receipt and make sure the receipt printed matches to the $ shown on reservation. About 1 out of 3 rentals I had to go inside to have the gas surcharge removed.
