Welcome to FT JazzAngel!
The problem I see is you are renting a "Specialty Car".
A972200 gets you a standard Full size for a base of $132 base 4 days, but shows the Camaro at a base of $476. How much do you really love her/him? :D

Has anyone used this A686200 priceline code? Seems to make a BIG difference for me on an upcoming reserveation at SFO.

First time renting a car (I know, shocker!)

I've looked around a lot, and even read the last 30 pages from this thread, trying all the codes. I tried autoslash and carrentals.com

I'll be renting from Tampa (TPA)
10/6 - 10/17
Full Size

From what I've found, the best code for me is for "deloitte" A515100 for $337
But I haven't found anything with anyone saying if they had to prove they were with deloitte or not.

Anyone know any background behind this code? I'm feeling a little gun shy ;) ;)
Or any other thoughts? Advice?

Thanks in advance!

Newbie car rental post - We are going to the Uk for a while. I have searched this thread (and ohers) unsuccessfully for specific UK codes. I understand from reading through some posts that perhaps the best thing to do is to call Avis (along with perhaps other rental agencies - those I know with rentals at MAN) and ask what promotion may be available for an 11 day rental. Actually, we are going to split the rental into two - one for five days. Drop it off when the SO flies home and I'll rent a car for the balance of my stay -7 days. We need to do this so that we both get a Hit for the US Air promotion.

Do the codes listed in FT work in the UK? Those on the US Air site - do those work in the UK?

Many thanks for any insights.

Cheers.

You won't need to prove anything. If they do ask (which they won't), just tell them you're a subcontractor.

Trust me, the guy working behind the counter is not going to care.

I am just wondering for business trip

If I used some other code other than of my corporation code and get lower rate, will I have a problem to reimburse it? Will the accounting people point out that I have not used the "right" code?

apollo_liumin Sep 9, 2010 2:35 pm

"Here is a few good codes with the best discount so far

farmers insurance:A972200"

Actually I am using the farmers insurance for my personal car, so I can use this code right? and I do not need to buy the additional insurance?

Thanks

I think that you would be taking a totally needless risk if you used an AWD number that was not from your own company. While clearly I do not know anything about your company or how they handle car rental reimbursements, I do know that companies negotiate rates with the car rental companies, and expect their employees to use the appropriate AWD number to obtain the negotiated corporate rate. The big question is, if your company will reimburse the rental charges to you, based on their negotiated AWD number, then why would you care to use another AWD number? Bottom line, if you use another AWD number, your company MIGHT not reimburse you, because they did not do the research to figure out whether the AWD number you used will yield a higher or a lower rate, and why should they? They have their own rate and AWD number for a reason, USE IT, or do not use it, at your own peril.

Yes, you can use the Farmer's AWD number since you are a Farmer's customer, and if you are ever asked (doubtful that an Avis employee will ask you about your eligibility to use the Farmer's number), just show them your Farmer's insurance card.

As far as whether or not you need to buy the additional insurance coverages, PROBABLY NOT, but every insurance policy is different, so to protect yourself, either call your agent to ask, or look for the correct section of fine print in your insurance documents. Also, for the rental, use a credit card that covers for rental cars, meaning most Platinum Visa and Mastercards offer rental car insurance coverage for at least the deductible, and sometimes as much as the full value of the rental car, up to $25,000, $30,000, or the highest I have seen, $40,000! Of course, YMMV!

That would depend on the size and/or configuration of the car, wouldn't it?

I didnt say it was impossible. I just said I would be impressed.

I'm not sure the size and/or configuration of car varies my impressiveness.

I think that three car seats would fit inside a Mercury Grand Marquis without too much trouble. After all, if the back seat of a car can handle three full size adults, why would there be a problem with three car seats which are smaller than three full size adults?

As I was loading up the Avis forum, there were 2 advertisements offering 25% off at Avis if you use the AWD code:
