If an account really wanted to get the actual details they can. Car rental vendors support integration to T&E applications such as Concur.

Question about additional driver. I am Avis President member. Can my wife also drive the Avis rental that is only in my name or I have to manually select " additional driver" and then go to the Avis counter at the parking lot in MCO to have her name added? We can't imagine wasting 1 hour at MCO Avis rental parking lot counter.

I have Avis rental at MCO in August. Also any most recent discount code that worked?

Based on my experience:

1. Most agents will insist Presidents Club does not receive a free additional driver - but there is a service code for them to use that waives the fee
2. You will need to go to the counter with your spouse and their driver's license to check-in and get added manually

Someone else with more knowledge about Avis policy will need to check if that process is waived for immediate family residing at the same address as the primary renter. I did this multiple times when I needed to add my mother to my rental contract, but she resides at a different address so we needed to visit the counter every time.

As per US rental agreement, you do not need to do anything for a spouse (licensed and over 25 years old) to operate the rental vehicle.

Refer to Permitted Driver in section 5.

I see that but do we still have to stand in line to show my wife's DL and have her manually added as the 2nd driver on the rental agreement? Thanks

Thanks

If you don't work for Nokia, or have convincing documentation that shows that you do, I would take the email to indicate that your reservation may be at risk.

Is there any recent feedback on using citigroup leisure code (A074800)?
Does it require id/employment verification?

Was told it is Cityflex discount - mean it gives maximum discount in a number of a largest US cities and works the best on a long rentals.

Thanks for sharing the code, I understand it was generated by Avis exclusively to your business.
In case of any issue (car crash, etc.) I'm wondering if Avis would look into us using your code as we don't have any relation to it.
Does it allow you to share freely to anyone outside your business?

I have a friend who has a corporate CDP for Avis and I'm renting a car from Avis. Can I use his CDP code and rent the car? He will also be on the contract as an additional driver? Is this allowed? Can there be any insurance issues? Note that I already have my personal non owners insurance for liability, and Chase Sapphire to cover collision damage.

Alternatively, if the above could be a problem. Can he be the primary driver and pay by his Chase Sapphire card for collison damage (and me added as an additional driver). As far as liability insurance goes, will my personal policy still protect me or will his auto insurance policy be affected in case something goes wrong.

Are you authorized to use the CDP? If so, no issues. If not, you're risking all insurance/coverages being void as you'd be fraudulently renting.

Sounds like it's a personal rental, not business. Is he allowed to use the code for personal use? As for insurance, it depends on your policy. Please check the policy or talk with your provider and don't rely on guesses from folks on the internet. If the code includes liability and something happens with the vehicle, Avis/Budget will go that route for coverage first, which might or might not be what you want.

Any codes that have the coveted free or discounted one way charge for international locations?

sowhatwegetdrunk Aug 4, 2023 12:23 pm

Is it YMMV based on agent/location on asking for proof/verification for using a AWD code? Or is there strict rules on which one they ask for?

For example, Amazon employee code (D008400) gives a great discount but it asks for corporate email address when booking. Citigroup leisure code (A074800) does not ask for corporate email address but the rates are not so great (still better than anything else except Amazon D008400). Are they both equally risky asking for proof? Or is it safe to assume citigroup wont require id?

Thanks

I would not make any such assumption.

If you are a graduate of a U.S. college or university, have you checked to see whether your alma mater has car-rental contracts which alumni can use for leisure travel? I can usually get great rates from Avis, Budget, and Hertz on sedan rentals using my alma mater's leisure rate code. I do have an alumni email address with the alma mater's domain name, but I also bring a certified copy of my transcript along -- showing conferral of a degree -- when I rent, to prove my status as an alumnus if asked.

The rate codes which alumni can use tend to be limited to those from private colleges/universities.

Mine does not have Avis. And I specifically want Avis due to the ability to stack Amex offer

OK. But just make sure that Avis with your stacked offer yields a better deal than your alma mater rate without the Amex offer. ;)

Amex offer with Amazon AWD is the best deal :D And that is the reason I posted about asking what the chances are for asking proof

What is the Amex offer?

dougfoglesong Aug 5, 2023 9:19 am

If you have Amazon Prime you get Amazon Benefits. Very good rate plus 10% back in the form of a Amazon gift card. This is not an employee corp rate.

Do you have to be a prime member to get good rates? I tried with a non prime account (which still shows the 10% amazon gc offer) and the rates were no where close to the amazon employee corp awd rates :/

dougfoglesong Aug 6, 2023 8:30 am

I thought so.

Can anyone help?

thank you!

Hi, did you ever find out what this code was for? I recieved the same code on a rental automatically when I was intending to use Amazon Benefits for the Prime Day deal. This is the only reference to this discount I could find online.

In the GDS Avis notes it as AARP.
The rate is OK, but twice the price of some corporate rates.

Weird that its just auto-applying to rentals. I have never interacted with the AARP. A definite bummer that is replaced the Amazon deal I was really going for. Thanks for the reply!

Hey guys,
Does anyone recognize Avis AWD A271500?
It seemingly waives underage fees, no one way way drop fees, LDW, added driver & gives a solid discount.
I called Avis customer care and they all said something else.
some said it was a corporate AWD and some said it was a Avis small business AWD- not sure of the difference.
I would appreciate any help as I found zero information online.
thanks

I used to use the amazon employee discount which takes off 66%, but now you need an email address. It was glorious for like 5 years to where you actually pay a normal rate. No idea how Amazon employees get normal rates and all of us pay 3 times as much.

But if you are going to use AARP, you get the same car cheaper through budget.com and get the same insurance and perks like free 2nd drivers.
Basically AVIS is dead now. You wont ever get a cheaper price on avis.

The Avis/Budget AARP discount at participating U.S. locations also includes a small amount (25/50/10) of primary third-party liability insurance. That won't do much for you if you're responsible for causing a major accident, but might be just enough in the event of a relatively minor accident.

I told him I’d send it via email and now I don’t know what to do. Can they ask for it after the contract is signed and completed? What would he have done if I said I don’t have one?

I don’t plan on using the code again in the future (so don’t offer that solution in this case) but don’t know what to do now in this situation. I was thinking of saying I got fired while on vacation and no longer have access to my email and was locked out with no notice. I’m worried if when I return the car and the agent asks for it and I don’t have it, what the result could be.

I missed this at the time - how did this end? My thoughts were that he would cover his a** and do nothing. In which city did this happen?

Question about the amazon code, my friend works for amazon. If he does the booking, can I be added as an additional driver for our leisure trip? And it includes cdw?

There is a code if you are an Amazon Prime. Pretty good rates plus you get a 10% Amazon cash card.

trip report on J323400

used at SLC, insane rate, free upgrade and included LDW

Got a text message with car info on it so didn't even need to talk to anyone - just scanned QR code from app and left

(in reality though when I arrived I got another text saying the car in the first text was no longer available, but talked to someone at the service desk and got another upgrade!)

receipt says full sized, but i think thats after the comp. ug, definitely not mystery.

daily rate is 52, tax might be more since i added liability insurance

Hello all, new person here but have been reading for awhile, curious to this situation

I booked an Avis rental on Costco travel and it added it to my Avis account, now I can see the discount and awd codes the Costco uses

If I go to Avis site and punch in those codes, I can get an even better rate with the pay now option instead of pay at counter rate which seems to match the costco price

What would you do? Cancel and rebook with these codes or keep the existing reservation, would I potentially get my rental rejected at time of pickup?

Nevermind - found I can modify my reservation on Avis and change to paynow and get the same pricing

Just wondering if you ended up using the Citigroup code and if they asked? I was able to book and i didn't see anything until the confirmation email that states:

Identity Verification Requirements This reservation was made using a corporate AWD (Avis Worldwide Discount Code) that requires validation of eligibility. Please be prepared to produce your company ID, business card, or a recent email with the company’s email domain (e.g. [MENTION=25805]xyz[/MENTION]company.com) for employment verification purposes when picking up your vehicle.
Please note: Avis does not accept digital driver’s licenses for rental. Please bring a hard copy of your driver’s license at the time of rental.

I was hoping to do a pick up without going to the desk but wondering if this means I have to go verify?

Thanks!

I can't comment as I don't use the Citi code, or ones that I'm not entitled to use. However, one point of caution is that even if you are able to get the vehicle without them verifying your status, you're taking a significant risk on the liability. If there is an accident, they (Avis or your 3rd party insurance) would likely then verify your rental details. If they determine you're using a code you didn't qualify for, it would be considered fraud and they could invalidate the coverage/claim and you'd be on the hook for all damages.

A word of warning about using AWD codes you are not entitled to use. I have rented many times with Avis using a discount code associated with an education institution without issues.... All the way up until I had an accident in a rental car. Part of the AWD code was a reduction in the insurance deductible from $5000 down to $100. The process of reporting the accident required me to prove my association with the institution which I was not able to do. Avis initially attempted to void the rental agreement and went after me for the value of the vehicle plus lost business costs (approx. $25,000). I fought with them for nearly two years and was able to get the fee back down to the original deductible of $5000. I ended up giving in to the $5000 as they threatened to take me to court and claim that I used a discount code I was not entitled to use.
