It may not happen, but I would suggest it's not worth the risk.
jackal's warning makes a lot of sense to me. There are various threads around about taking advantage of corporate discounts on rental cars, hotels, etc., and it appears that oft-times the vendors are not going to bother to try to validate that you're entitled to make use of the discount codes. However, if you get into an accident, I strongly suspect that the company's investigators will look into everything that they can use to legitimately deny coverage.
