i read from anther forum that there was a promotion and that Avis giving 45% off.

anyone able to share the promo code:D

I've just used this code on Avis.co.uk and it applied - happy days.
If my Quidco tracks through as well, its a very, very good deal.

I will need to rent a car at SFO for 3 weeks. Using a couple of standard AWDs I've had luck with in the past gives me the best rate of $390 for a compact vehicle. Any tips on possibly getting a lower one?

Sounds like a great price for SFO already

A buddy of mine who works at a large tech firm gave me his Wizard number - rentals I am seeing with it come at a serious discount. But it does also bring up his name when I search for cars. I know the chances of being asked to verify employment are hit and miss, however if his name is linked should I still proceed using it? Just comparing his code to my Amex Travel is close to $1k savings for the 10 days I'm looking to rent!

EDIT: I was able to find the code associated with the company, and use that on search without his Wiz number associated and got the same rates. You can correct me if this is the wrong approach. Thanks!

When you're logged into his account it's probably just applying the AWD for his company. Negotiated corporate rates are often (but not always) lower than publicly available discount codes (Costco, AAA, AARP, etc.). While enforcement is spotty, you may be asked for proof at the rental counter. There may be other discounts you're eligible for that come without risk. Worth looking into.

There used to be a weekend $20 off rental that is going to expire in 3 days. Anyone knows if it is being replaced? I rent weekends only. Code was MUGA083.

Some more that I use. I never get asked for IDs.

Full Size van rental
 

I'm looking to rent a full size van for my church for their youth volunteer week. I'd like to get them the best rate possible (to reduce our fundraising needs).

I started with autoslash:
Your 3 Days, 8 hours Rental
Skip navigation to car results
Rochester (ROC)
Pick-up: 09:00AM, Mon, Jul 24, 2017 - Drop-off: 05:00PM, Thu, Jul 27, 2017
The Autoslash rate for Avis full size van is $641.33

Here is the rate I could get using AARP
Due at pick-up: $628.11
Base Price: $495.88
Taxes and Fees: $132.23
That looks like a very good rate. Should I go with that one?

Thanks
Mike

Our recommendation is to go with wherever you get the best deal. Just make sure you don't have to pay up-front as most of those deals have cancellation penalties and prices are likely to drop in the coming months.

That said, I just looked on AARP.com and I'm seeing $661.14 as the best rate. Are you sure you are using the same dates/time? If you are able to book at the lower rate and you don't have to pre-pay, just go ahead and then track the rental for lower rates at autoslash.com/track and we'll let you know if we find a better deal.

Did Avis change the AWD numbers recently? The codes I used to use still show the same prices as before, but when I go to book I get an error message. 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.

Why does it display the prices under my AWD, the AWD I've been using for at least 15 years now, but then it won't let me book it?

Not a change in the AWDs, but changes in their website coding. IIRC (having made the adjustment several months ago) if you log in, add the AWD to your profile, and then make the reservation, you'll be able to book the rez.

Or use avis.ca where the old method still works.

I had a one-day rental in the Netherlands under the A515100 code for the locally very low rate of 33 eur/day. It turned out that the 200 mi included (and confirmed to me) were 200km - luckily this wasn't an issue for me. However, the insurance co-pay was 15,000 eur for this rate - up from 700 eur normally. Not a good thing.

Leading me to ask: are there any codes that include full insurance + all risk waver for renting with avis in the Netherlands against a good rate?

You do realize that A515100 is a discount code for employees of Hewlett Packard right? It doesn't matter whether the insurance co-pay (excess) is 700 EUR or 15,000 EUR because if you have an accident and you try to use the insurance included with that discount code, the first thing you are going to be asked is to prove you work for HP. If you cannot show that you do, then the insurance coverage is likely to be null and void and you will be responsible for the full amount of any damage you caused. Just want you to be aware of the risks.

Has there been a case reported of this actually occurring? There was a thread in the Hertz forum where a member actually had an accident under this circumstance, but it was not clear that the member was in the end, on the hook for the full amount of the damage, and it ended up being a bunch of conjecture.

I have not personally known anyone who was in this situation but there are a few FT threads on this topic:

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hert...-employer.html
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hert...-accident.html
(I'm sure there are plenty more)

Bottom line, do you really want to find out after you've totaled a $30K+ car?

Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but in everything I've seen on FT, there's been nothing but conjecture and no definitive "this happened to me, this is what resulted". The second thread would have been the one I'm talking about, except OP disappeared without posting any resolution or final outcome.

Yes, it would have been helpful for the OP in the second thread to post the outcome, but imho the fact that he got in hot water because of it is more the point than whether he got away with it in the end.

It's clear that spork thinks using some random corp code with LDW absolves him of all responsibility for damage. I guess we both agree that it may or may not, but it is not without risk. Spork will need to make his own determination as to whether the risks are worth it based on how much he is saving. A better approach is probably to get a CC that offers LDW coverage for free, but that's just my opinion.

LDW for free is all well and good, but what about Liability insurance? Quite often when you have an accident there is another vehicle (or valuable item) involved (maybe a Rolls-Royce?).

Quite often your accidents involve maybe Rolls-Royces? What sort of accidents are you getting in? :D

These risks are not worth it - and I agree that it was an unwise decision. I was under the impression it was a Deloitte code - which for my personal situation would've been a lot easier to justify and less random ;)

Also I was going to rent a mini-class where the total damage would not have exceeded 10k in the first place.

Are there any codes - this may or may not include CORP codes - that include full LDW for rental agreements in The Netherlands?

In Holland this kind of insurance is required by law to be included in the rental agreement.

I found two possible solutions: 1) get a yearly rental-car insurance (around 100 euros a year, covering any number of rental agreements) that provides super-coverage for the 600-1500 euro co-pay and some extras (window damage), e.g. at https://www.huurautoverzekering.com/. 2) get a credit card that offers extra rental car insurance that covers the deductible

I opted for #2 since I'm welcoming the upgrade in my cc for other reasons too, and the yearly cost was less for my specific needs. My new cc doesn't fully eliminate the deductible, but it decreases it by 500 eur - good enough for me.

Quick question here! I'm looking to use a discount code for a booking at YVR (Vancouver) & I'm a British citizen. When booking, must I ensure my reservation has CDW? Or can I just do that with an external provider with no issue?

Thanks! :D

You can get insurance anywhere you like (3rd party, credit card that will cover you, etc). The insurance through the rental company is always optional at least in the US and Canada.

Appreciate that, thanks. I've made a booking through Avis with a discount code here (C062090). Thanks to ReallyNotFrequentFlyer for that!

Anyone know of decent discount codes for a rental in Malta during April?

seeking similar coupon for April rental, anyone?
 

Use Avis AARP coupon MUGA044 for $30 off weekly of a MidSize Car and up for rental pickup by 3/31/17.

Any good discount codes for renting a Premium SUV? Looking for a week in June out of LAX.

I'm having the same issues. The site lets you populate the discount code like it's working but when you try and select a car you just go round and round on the website until you remove the code. I haven't see a code with with the AWD account I've had for 20-years.

Where is $30 off weekly coupon
 

I am a long-time Avis/Costco/AARP renter.

Where did the $30 off weekly coupon go that I would use with the Costco AWD 108326 and its companion $30 off weekly coupon with the AARP AWD A359807? Both coupons expired 3/31/2017.

It looks like Avis replaced those with (MUGA076 - $25 off minimum $175 base rate and MUGA063 - $15 off minimum $125 base rate).

Are there other coupons that will give the $30 weekly discount?

I have been using AWD X762674 it says it gets up to 50% off. I didn't quite get 50% off but it does discount significantly. It's been my go to number, works every time with no hassle.

:Dnot sure where this code is from, I tried it on a couple reservations.. took about 10% off the standard rate on AVIS.com

Tried it on a couple of rentals on Amadeus, doesn't look like a corporate code to me as it mentions EASY TRAVEL on it.

Good price?

I almost want to fly there JUST to get this deal! nice deal, hopefully, it will ACTUALLY be a 7 series.

MUGA016 - $75 off a minimum base time and mileage spend of $600. Saw it on Costco Travel, but tried with a few other AWDs, and it worked.

You're kidding ?! That's a serious bargain.

Wow! What's the AWD?
That's only 20 euros more than what I paid for a Peugeot 508 in France last week...

The AWD is N744100 - British Airways Executive Club Blue member.

AWD # Z921610. Hopefully this is a big saver
