As of 2/12/14: We've had quite a few "Hey, come use this AWD. It's great" type of posts. When the AWD doesn't give a good discount, but is only posted to try to get renters to use the AWD of someone so the poster can earn free days from their Avis Corporate account. From here out, please put the company/trade group/etc that's associated with the AWD or we'll delete the post to keep it on-topic here.

I am looking for a one way rental from Ljubljana, Slovenia to Split, Croatia in Oct.
Although I know we could save a bundle, we do not wish to spend a day returning and then picking a new car up at the border. That's worth a hundred or so $$ to us but the rates are over $1100 for 6 days!!
Apparently, Eastern European one way rentals are not bookable online and I am concerned about giving a list of random AWD codes to a CS rep on the phone. Do I have anything to worry about?
Any other advise would be helpful!

Hello Fellow Travelers,
I am seeking your advice on renting an Automatic transmission compact rental car in Florence, Italy for 3 full days October 3rd - Oct 5th for my honeymoon. I have been trolling around this forum and playing with different codes, but my best price is >$450! I feel this is outrageous given some of the other bargains members have been able to get, so I am asking for your help.
I want to make the most of my limited budget for our honeymoon and the car rental is currently eating a large portion of our discretionary spend. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
AJ

For what it's worth I followed a suggestion early in this thread:
Also, try Google with the following keywords:
conference avis awd month year location
where you replace month, year, and location with your required data ...
And found a great conference rate in my city on my dates. It is actually in my field so I can pretty easily pull this one off without worrying about ID's.

I drive manual, but one thing to keep in mind is it becomes quite a bit more difficult driving a manual in a country like Britain or South Africa or Thailand (which I've done) where they drive on the wrong side of the road. This means that you're shifting with your left hand!

. This is not "when in Rome..." thing, i just want a more practical product. And i have no problem with others using manual.. or rotary phones... or sundials... 
The automotive industry spent many years and many millions of $ improving cars to make them automatic and I would like to take advantage of the end result.

Virtuoso Rates
AWD - K255700
Promo Cpn - MUWA055 - $45 off weekly rental class H or above
The AWD seems to be hit and miss - sometimes excellent discount, sometimes no so good. I can't find a pattern, just try it.

This code was advertised way back in 1986 in the Spanish newspaper ABC as an incentive to get an Avis Wizard Number, so at that point it was apparently available to the general public. I can't find any of its history since then.
You can find it mentioned way down at the bottom of the page on
http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigat...07/01/038.html
The relevant bit is:

Booked a 10 day car hire online using code. At LHR, I was asked for my Avis employee ID, as it was a staff code. I argued it was a public code, to no avail.
I ended up paying rack rate, around 100 GBP more.
Elaboration over and chalked up to one of lifes experiences.

Why not get the train to the Croat border, even Zagreb, and carry on from there. You also need to buy a highway pass for Slovenia, approx 25 Euros which would ad to the cost unless it's already included.

We tend to drive on the left side - if we drive on the wrong side we have head on collisions. I suppose we had also better add Australia, New Zeeland, Ireland, and Japan to that list,

You don't "learn" to drive automatic - there is nothing to learn . This is not "when in Rome..." thing, i just want a more practical product. And i have no problem with others using manual.. or rotary phones... or sundials...
The automotive industry spent many years and many millions of $ improving cars to make them automatic and I would like to take advantage of the end result.

Simply put you can have an automatic but you will have to pay for it as they are the exception rather than the rule. Sorry this is very much when in Rome - if I came to the USA fat chance I'd get of having a manual if I were mad enough to want one.
I would also just warn you that this is Italy as you will find reading here that they may have one automatic per station and if it is not there you may have a problem. I hope that you don't but forewarned is forearmed. I strongly suggest that you call them before you arrive and speak to the Station Manager and tell him that you have to have an automatic.
