JVs etc make no difference if you expect rational prices.

A few years ago I flew on a BA Metal,it was booked via AA with an AY flight number. IB also code shared the flight.

There was a price range of £400 between the lowest and highest fare depending on who I booked with and which flight code (yes I checked all the combinations!) All of these airlines are in the same JV (and two share an owner) yet had different prices and all share the revenue.

In your case depending on the fare bucket (you need J, C or D) the VS ticket booked via VS could get you a free car at both ends but not if you booked via DL
