hey,
I will be in los angles at 3-16. september, I am 22 years old, and need to rent a car from avis (or others car rentals), Do you have anybody some function AWD code with underage fee and without id check ?

We can give you one with no underage fee, but ID check? Good luck (doubly so at LAX - see above)

except at SNA.. ;-)

i was able to use the code and no questions asked. it worked just fine and saved a bunch.

Any recent experiences using the Citi Travel code at LAX?
 

The A0764800 is a flat rate code it so seems. Only slightly more than the Bombardier code. Used it locally several times incl MIA no problem. Would like to hear experiences at LAX which seems to become more watchful now.

The Citi Leisure Travel code is A074800 (no 6). I have used it several times, including at LAX, without problems.

you are right. I made a typo. Good to know it works at LAX. There is a Budget BCD gives similar rate but I could not find the origin of the Budget Code so would stick with the Avis Citi Leisure Travel instead, although the Budget location would be more convenient upon returning the car as our hotel is Crowne Plaza, just around the corner across street from Budget, while Avis is like 1/3 mile north.

Caution! There is at least one post in this thread #3820 of an FTer who was denied at LAX in March 2016, around the same time as my last successful rental there. I have never been questioned using this code. If it ever comes up I do have Citi accounts of various sorts. I probably even got the code from Citi in the first place, although I really don't remember.

Post 3820 referred to a different code. B270898. Is this one you refer to?

We also have Citi accounts but the rental would be tied to AMEX card. Code is used in MIX and local location multiple times between Apr and June. No question. Seems LAX is the diligent one.
Thanks for heads up.

Hi all

Thank you for the great tips and codes. However I am having a bit of difficulty searching for rentals in either milan or rome. Does anyone recommend a particular awd (and acceptable coupon code that can be used in conjunction with the awd?)
Thank you kindly.

Did anyone had luck with using any of those counts to shave off the underage fee?

I'm Preferred Plus and using City Leisure Travel code, renting trough Avis turns out slightly cheaper than the Alamo I've had booked before.

I'd much rather use Avis, since I could skip most of the formalities and get an upgrade (though I dunno what would an upgrade from Mustang Convertible look like at Avis), but not if there's significant risk of getting hit with young driver surcharge.

(I've seen the mention of problems at LAX, I'd be renting at MIA).

Try the Hilton HHonors AWD code which consistently gives us a better rate than anything else and it is a 100% public code. You can find it on Hilton HHonors site under earn HHonors points / partners.

No issue as recently as in June.

Hey Guys,
are there some codes for South Africa (Cape Town and Johannesburg) each one Week?

Thanks

Have you had any issues at all using this code? Have they asked you what company the code belongs to and if so what are you telling them? Thanks...

i am looking for codes that i can use in Australia - any suggestions? currently am getting $48 / day for intermediate.
thanks

Hey Guys also any help for South Africa (CapeTown and Johanesbourg)?

Thanks

See upthread

Avis site vs Chase Travel Portal
 

Has anyone had experience with the Chase portal as to the true cost? I am getting some the same rental $20 cheaper on the portal, which supposedly includes charges. The Avid site specs everything but I'm a little worried about the true Chase booking cost.

i want to get the maserati ghibli tomorrow at LAX for an event i'm attending sunday. is the best route to book a full size with the best code i can find and pre-pay and just bargain at pick up for the lowest upgrade cost at preferred desk. i know i've been quoted 75 or 100 per day to upgrade to mercedes c63 amg... i've read some places avis won't let the ghibli go for less than 250 per day. anyone know?

Hi there,

If I have the citi prestige credit card, can I use the citi leisure travel code? Or is that code only for corporate employees?

Thanks!

That discount code is supposed to be for employees of Citi.

Hi all, thanks for sharing the code, it helps me save tremendously on a 2-day rental. Just have a quick question, my credit card is not expired but I keep getting this message:

“NOTE: The credit card information on your My Avis account has expired. You will need to stop at the rental counter. Or to ensure that you receive Avis Preferred, please call 800-230-4898. Select Option #2 and explain that you have received this message and will need your reservation modified.
You will also need to update your profile by providing new credit card information and can do so by calling 866-842-5552 or logging in to your My Avis account.”

Does this have something to do with the code that I use (C062090)? I am wondering if the code requires a linked corporate credit card? Thank you in advance. :)

Data point: Used E888804 on one of my previous rentals, worked like a charm!
FYI, it is for Hon circle but shows as "weekend special" on most of the GDS

B270898
 

I always use this code (B270898) - no issues. Booked a car last week with it no issues. I'm trying to modify it and it is giving me an error. Tried to create a new reservation with it and it is giving me an error.....anyone else experiencing this? Worried about picking up my car on Friday....

I keep getting this error when I select a car " The rate code you entered requires an Avis World Wide Discount (AWD) number. Please go back and enter your AWD number or remove the rate code you entered."

So I was the person who was denied at LAX for B270898 earlier this year. This time, I'm using A515100 and trying again (on a similarly unusual one way, but out of a different location). Will keep everyone posted.

BTW - B270898 worked for me as well and was the same price as the above.

That new code is HP's business (not leisure) code. I wouldn't use that one if I were you, they'll likely check. I work for HP and they always do for the business code, not usually the leisure code though. And, no, I won't share it.

Thanks - the worst they can do is say no, right? I have plenty of backup options arranged.

Would anybody advise on the best code to use for 10 days one-way Munich to Vienna in January 2017?

I'm getting the same issue. Workaround is to log out of your Avis preferred account, book it without being logged in, put in your details, call in, and add your wizard number to it.

Does anyone have a good code for Dublin for 13 days? Also, does Avis charge extra for going into Northern Ireland? Thx. The codes that I keep trying appear not to work in Ireland for some reason... tried Costco, Hilton, several others.

Good luck. Dublin is a huge rip off for car rentals.

Its a good discount.

Whats the origin of the code?
Looking for something in the UK for Dec/Jan

Never had a problem with A515100
Myself and Colleagues use it all the time

This C062090 is very good, do you know the origin?

Yep, worked out all well for me in the end. I was on an uncommon one-way and AVIS happened to have a car that needed to be repositioned on the same one way, so maybe that was a contributing factor to them overlooking it ;)

Got a big discount using A515100 over Christmas at Dublin. (Warning: Seem my note in post #3993)

Hon Circle President's club discount code

They might check eligibility if you are not PC

I used A515100 for a Dublin hire and have noticed that the following are included:

Airport/city surcharge
Local Tax
Vehicle Registration Fee
Liability Insurance
Unlimited Mileage

Does this mean I would be responsible for 100% cost for collision damage and theft?

UPDATE: Called Avis and they confirmed CDW and TP not included, even though it said they were during the purchasing process. Had to cancel, bit too much of a risk. Anyone know codes that include CDW and TP? If I still had my Amex Platinum would have been fine.

I try to book A515100 (HP) as the AWD and I get the following error:

The rate code you entered requires an Avis World Wide Discount (AWD) number. Please go back and enter your AWD number or remove the rate code you entered.

I have no other AWD, coupon, or rate code entered. Any tips on how to deal with this?
