Hi, sorry, I NEVER rent cars and checked this page for a sticky or a newbie questions page, didn't see one...
Looking to book a car and earn AA points (5x per dollar due to my AA status), ideally from central Melbourne Australia rather than airport, and saw two interesting things on Budget's website:
- Rewards program points will be awarded on eligible rentals. Miles may not be earned on corporate rates, discounts, free tour or certain travel industry rates or on rentals at off airport locations. Qantas, Air New Zealand AirpointsTM, and Fly Buys reward members should consult their program for their latest points totals.
- If your rental qualifies to earn frequent traveler points, you will be charged a fee for the points at rental time.
How can I know the fee, why is there a fee, and is there any way to check eligibility ahead of time or do ONLY airport locations count??
