Hi guys I am trying to get an H class class out of LAX, I noticed a corporate code mentioned a few posts up gave me a good 80 bucks or so off the total, but that is if I listed myself as a US resident. If I use most of the codes off here and listed myself as a resident of another country, I always get the same rate. I was wondering if you guys have any experience booking and listing as a US resident and applying the rate and when you arrive you produce a non US passport and driver's license?

THANKS !

Doing anything like that is a potential minefield! If you list yourself as a US resident, and they do not ask you for your driver's license at the counter, and then you get involved in a traffic accident, the insurance might be void, due to you renting the vehicle based on fraudulent information, which is a criminal offense! The best thing for you to do is try to get a US driver's license, with a US address.

I was not talking about that. Most definitely when you go in to the location they will ask you for ID and whatever else and record all that info. My question is for people who have experience with foreign ID.. and these rates. You can book any rate online but when you go into the location they enter your info etc. I was about leaving the US resident box checked as default and just entering the code without changing my country of residence.
And why would I bother getting a US driver's license and etc just to get a good rate at a car rental place.. sigh.. but thanks for your response..

That all depends on how often you rent cars in the US, from your OP, it seemed like that might be fairly often.

A simple search of this thread using the keyword "A126900" will yield this posting with your answer, Lockheed Martin Corporate.

i did a search and did come up with that post, but i was wondering if this is considered a "safe" code.

i would like to ask the same question about these codes which are showing me good results:

A515100
K851000
A108386

Well not for a few years now. So it would not be too often.

I am looking for an itermediate vehicle for next week:

- Using my corporate discount number the rental comes out at $226;
- USAA brings it down to $224;
- Avis.com lists the reservation, without coupons at $254; same with Travelocity;

CapitalOne Rewards has the same rental for $107.

That was a great tip for me. I would have never tried looking there and that saved me plenty on a rental.

how
 
how does one use the Capital One rewards booking site, members only?

A126900 is the lockheed martin rate and has worked for me. Unfortunately, you do not earn airline points for it.

This sucks as I could be earning an additional 1,700 FF points. I have an all-inclusive rate and if I were to use a different code, I'd be paying $65 extra per week to get those miles.

:(

Yes, but YMMV for the rates - depending on location/date, they could be far higher than other code options.
