I think it was the K code
 

I just did it online, and it gave me a great rate.

In response, to getting it down from $128....that's not exactly true. $120 per day was what I was quoted by just about every other rental company. Avis was half that at a little under $60, $28 after the coupon. That's less than I've paid in the US (granted I didn't know about FT back then). It just seems like the Swedes, who tend to be much more thorough in general in my observation, might try to double check this price is right... leading to me having to explain more about how I got that rate, more than I would like to explain at least, even if the code doesn't say ID needed

Help!!!
 

Guys please help me I am trying to book at cdg (paris) from Nov 22 to Nov 28

I tried D005591 but the rate wasn't great (151 usd base rate, translates to 233 w/ taxes).

Any codes advice?

thanks ^
Ismail

came to 172 euros. thx though

L093590 includes LDW
 

Yes, L093590 still includes LDW at no charge. The LDW "included" will not show on the reservation, but if you ask the agent she will tell you that it is included in the rate. In my humble opinion I find L093590 to give the most consistantly low rates with no hassle and LDW included. I used to try 5 or more AWD's for every reservation, and every code has "strings attached" and risk of denial without i.d., etc..etc.. Now I just use the "L" code and I know I'm getting a guaranteed reservation, LDW included, and a geat rate. Maybe a couple bucks higher or lower than some other code, but without any risk or hassle. Most people in my company have come to the same conclusion and all use the "L" code.
Just one man's opinion. :)

[QUOTE=closecover]Thanks for the tip. I just used it for a reservation and found it to be better than the other codes I found on this site (except for the Cendant employee code, which I just cannot do). What do I need to be to qualify (left-handed, albino, a member of the international brotherhood of stone cutters, a Red Sox fan)?

K817625 is only good through 2006 and can be used by anyone. It is listed on the Delta Airlines website and is for Delta FF members, but anyone can join Delta FF. Avis has never asked me for my Delta I.D., but if you want 250 miles per day, join Delta Skymiles.

This code did nothing for me
 

Mike,
I tried this code (T111949) several times and it did nothing special at all for me on domestic rentals.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? What makes you feel this code is so special?
I tried it at several locations and it gave me a standard (nothing great) discount with nothing else (no LDW, etc.. etc..) Just about all the other "good" codes that I entered gave a better deal than this 'T' code and had things like free LDW..etc. I'm always looking for new codes "better" rates.

I think that people that rent frequently realize that the "daily rate" is not the only factor in determining whether a rate is good or not. Unlimited mileage, drop-off fees, Free LDW, etc. etc. all need to be added to the "bottom line" when you consider a rate.

In my opinion, the insurance issue is without doubt the single biggest concern for my rentals. Yes, my auto insurance covers rentals. But do you really
want to put a claim in on your personal policy for an insurance rental loss? I don't. Do you realize that your also responsible for the loss of use? (the period that the rental company cannot rent the car while it is being repaired).
This is often a higher rate than the repair rate itself. Credit card coverage is "iffy" and getting more limited and restrictive all the time. It does not cover trucks, no SUV's, no drivers under 25, no drivers not listed on agreement, no long term rentals, etc. etc. etc.

I've spoken to several Insurance Agents and they all recommend buying the coverage from the rental company. The thought today is to avoid at all costs filing a claim with your own insurer. Insurance companies today are dropping policies , often after only a single claim. Save your insurance for the instance when it really makes sense and the amount of the claim is really sizeable.

LDW from the rental companies is in the $20-$25 daily range. Thats a lot of money. But I believe it's still a pretty good value, especialy for short term rentals. This fee let's you, your insurance company, and your credit card company "off the hook" if you smash up the rental vehicle. Without the LDW,
whether your at fault or not, you are responsible for resolving the payment to the rental company.

My suggestion is to find the best rate you can, that includes LDW at no cost. Your getting an insurance product valued at about $22 per day for absolutely free. In my opinion, that's a better deal than finding a rate that may be $20 bucks lower for the entire week (that equals only a $3 daily value). Seems like a "no brainer" to me.

I'd be interested in hearing any counterpoints to this theory. :D

I'd be interested to hear if your LDW would be voided when you return the car with damage and the Avis office files a damage claim. Surely Kellwood (the company associated with your favorite AWD) would report to Avis that the renter of the damaged car is not a current employee. Maybe you'd get lucky, but I think with the amount of $$$ involved, Avis would check to see if you indeed should be covered under its special rental contract with Kellwood.

Unfortunately both times I returned a damaged rental car (windshield crack and damage from an attempted theft), I was not using a AWD with LDW.

I have also tried the code D833357. Does anyone know what the story is on this code?


Have you tried K817625? :p Valid through 2006, it gives you 250 miles on your Delta FF DAILY, and can be used by anyone since anyone can join Delta Skymiles online for free.

That gave me a great rate for LAS Vegas. I assume the code came from Delta. I am A skymiles member also...

Bill,
I've used the LDW feature 2x that I can remember in the past . Each was a relatively small issue, but no problem each time. A co-worker of mine did some really substantial damage, and after filling out the Avis report, he never had another contact with Avis re: the accident. I have no idea what the Avis policy is on followup to LDW claims....but I suspect they are not too rigid. I'd like to hear if anyone has ever been denied LDW as per the situation you described above.

D833357 seems to be related to the The American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA). Can firends or relatives of travel agents use this code? Can a travel agent "give" someone this code? I wonder...

A888851
 

Hi,

Did anyone find out yet what code is this for? And if it is good for use in Australia without raising any red flags? It seems to be giving some really great rates..

I would have gone with Hertz, but they are all sold out during the holiday period.

THANKS!!

O855801
 

O855801 is the AWD for Lufthansa partners. It usually gives me by far the best rates (at least -30%)!

Has anyone ever used a code that was questioned or denied?
I can't recall seeing a post about this.

Avis code
 

I was looking for the best rate and found it with this code: A153700. Can anyone tell me what this code is for and if it's wise to use it. Thanks!

The code trouble my friend. Don't use it. I had luck with C031529 (some technology corporation) at various locations.

yes. And I have been the one to question them.

A153700-A153799 will always be questioned.
ALWAYS.

By rule, any AWD code that pops up as "corprate will need some sort of ID.
Just two months ago, AARP and a few others, the computer prompts the employee to get proof of eligibility. Within a matter of a year every company corporate account (if the company requests it) will ask for ID or proof. That doesnt mean the agent will ask you for it.

Hey ezmonee,

How about D005297? ID required? Thanks.

i do believe its okay...if you read this thread earlier many poeple have used it without problems.

but i am no longer at avis so it would be difficult for me to check.

January 2007
 

Most of the special discounts seem to end on December 31st. I have to be in Atlanta in early January. Does anyone have any good codes?

Thanks

Try L093590. It includes free LDW. Have used this code for years with great success. I was not aware that some of the other codes expired at the end of the year.

Have anyone actually tried to claim insurance with this code? Was it succesful?

I have heard three cases of people getting caught and placed on the do not rent list.

Wow, back the bus up. Getting caught using an AWD you are not authorized for get you one way ticket to do not rent list? Besides, I was under the impression L093590 is a free for all code.

I've used the LDW feature 2x that I can remember in the past . Each was a relatively small issue, but no problem each time. A co-worker of mine did some really substantial damage, and after filling out the Avis report, he never had another contact with Avis re: the accident. I have no idea what the Avis policy is on followup to LDW claims....but I suspect they are not too rigid. I'd like to hear if anyone has ever been denied LDW as per the situation you described above. I've never once seen it on this board where anyone has had an issue with LDW.

Ezmonee, can you tell us a bit more about the cases you mentioned?(i.e. codes used, exact issue that caused the Do Not Rent, etc.). I don't doubt your information, it's just that my first hand experience has been just the opposite. Also....in the worst case scenario that the LDW is declined, the credit card coverage or personal auto policy coverage can be implemented at any time. I don't see the issue or risk, in my opinion.

If anyone reading this has ever been declined LDW using one of the "open" codes, please educate us. Thanks.

I wonder what would happen if Avis declined to honor the "included" LDW waiver, and assessed the renter for damages. Would the credit card insurance coverage be declined because LDW was not "declined" on the original rental?

LDW was declined on the original rental. Because LDW is included in the rental rate, I have to initial (decline) the additional LDW on every contract.

Any new valid code for Marshall School of Business of USC
 

Yhe old code does not seem to work anylonger - it served very well in Europe some 30 - 40% off.
Can you suggest something comparable or the new code Marshall? Please.

Are codes blacklisted?
 

WHEn I put this code in - it kicks back to the reservation starting page.
