Thank you very much Coastergirl. This code reduced all other decent code selections by almost $100 for a Thur-Mon Final 4 weekend trip to Atlanta.

Seems almost too good to be true, but I'll take it.

Thanks again.

Great code for France D005927
 

I travel to Nice 3 times a year for 3 - 5 weeks at a time. I usually use the D086533 USC Marshall School of Business code. I tried D005927. It reduced my 22 day compact rental from $1093 (with D086533) to $746.49.

[QUOTE=ezmonee;7227702]Any cupon with "M" in the front means "money off", or a specific dollar amount. With Gas prices as they are now a days, the "G" coupons are more and more popular. "T" stands for time. Just a little inside info that means nothing to this discussion....

Thanks for the detailed response - and thanks also to bob1008 for confirming what i hoped was true.

That coupon is active on the Avis.com site currently ($30 off weekly rental), and seems to be a "paperless" coupon. You just click on the banner and it automatically inputs the M code in the coupon field. I just added the L code in the AWD code field, which is what actually brought the rate down...

Thanks again!

Need Help
 

Hi All
All I can say is WOW! I stumbled upon this forum by chance and for the last couple of hours reading posts in all the different forums and have really been impressed to see such a coterie of smart people.
I think I can explain my dilemna here and I'm sure somebody would definitely be able to help me out. I'm a frequent Flyer to the extent that I go to different places every week (without fail) and come back to San Diego (home base). most of the time I don't care about what I pay for flight or rental car as my company takes care of it. But on personal travel I end up paying a huge amount of money to rent a car. Reason, I' under-25. If I use my company's AWD, it gives me qoutes of almost $50 a day for an intermediate car (but takes away the under-age fee), If I don't use it, I pay underage fee and at some places I'm not even eligible to rent. I tried using A153700 on Avis and it works wonders, my question is that does it waive the underage fee? Also, does anybody know of any other codes which waive the underage fee? I need mmediate help as I'm flying to DFW tmrrw from Nashville and need to rent a car at DFW.
Any help would be highly appreciated

Cheers

SUnny

yes, it waives underage fee, but with a catch. That is the EMPLOYEE code. if the location has any skill, you will be asked to show your employee swipe card. A153722 is now used for family of employees, but its use requires an accompanying letter of introduction on company letterhead with the name of the manager writing the letter, the employee relation, and the name of the employee. A153722 does NOT waive underage fee. It also has the phone number (cell) of the manager who wrote the letter and Avis managers almost ALWAYS answer their cell. I was told not answering my cell means that I am not on duty, ergo my company rental car should be turned in as it is for "on duty" use only. so I always answered my phone.

So you can try...but i know people who were banned from renting with avis for getting caught using this. If caught, best case scenario, you need to find a new car on the fly, or pay the walk up rate for underage no reservation, worst, you can never rent with Avis and Budget RAC again.

Thanks for the insight. I think it'd not be a good idea to use this then as I rent from Avis all the time for my official travel and getting blocked would be a big deal as my company has an agreement from Avis only.
Do you know of any other "SAFE" code which waives the underage fee?

Cheers

Sunny

I've been trying to figure a way out so as to get a good rate and avoid the under-age fee but it seems, THERE IS NO WAY OUT.
If I try to use an AWD which waives the under-age fee, I have to use the "check the lowest rate" to get a good deal but doing that leaves the benefits out which means I have to pay the under-age fee. If I check the corporate rate, its way higher than the usual. In any case I'm paying way more than the usual.
I've browsed through hundreds of pages in this forum and could only see a lone post regarding this issue and that too with nobody pitching in with a solution and that was way back in 2004.
Is there really "NO WAY OUT"?
There are so many smart people around, there has to be a way out.
I'm gng to meet my girlfriend tomorrow in Dallas. Considering its a financial suicide to go meet her on the weekend following V-Day, wherein I'd be made to pay for her V-Day shopping spree, it'd be nice to save something on a car. :)

Cheers

Sunny

part of the problem is "there is no code that waives" underage fee.

There are only codes that are "negotiated rates that allow underage renters."

Those codes are based upon negotiated rates that those companies agreed to. For example, There are a few firms in Seattle area that have underage capable company codes. Those codes are NOT the normal codes that the company uses. They have two sets of codes. The first code is the standard over 25 code. The second one is an underage code that is more expensive.

When a company negotiates underage codes with Avis, they put an additional fee ito the price, which is why you see a more expensive rate. So its up to the company to decide "would it be better to have two codes, and let the younger renters pay much higher rates, and we reimburse them" or "allow all employees under one rate, causing a cheaper overall rate, but more expensive than if we chose to not allow underage renters."

The best underage code that I know of is a WalMart Distribution center code in Oklahoma. tulsa I believe. Nationwide under 25 was around 26 dollars a day compact non peak. Your SUPPOSED to show ID proof of employment or bring a paystub, but many locations forget.

The next question your gonna ask me is "whats the code"?

I dont remember it. I gave you all the info I know already. If you are capable of calling the call center and booking a reservation without alerting them to the deception, go right ahead. Once you have it, use the res number and go to avis.com and look at the reservation online. You will see the AWD there.

It is an awesome code, isn't it? We have used it for for several rentals over the last few years. My understanding, from the Florida Visitor's Bureau, is that it is a code used for weddings in Florida, and anyone can use it. ^

Getting a little frustrated. Looking to reserve Full-Size rental 7-13march Pick Up Manhattan NY - Drop off EWR.

I've tried nearly all the AWD posted here and I’m getting no luck with any apart from the two I cant use (i.e. Avis employee codes)

Anyone got suggestions?

Code no longer valid?
 

Is this number an AWD or a coupon number? I was trying to book at MCO for March 29-April 4th and it is not working.

It's an AWD number. Maybe it's not working because I think you're there around spring break.

Anyone know where the code B9999000 is from?

The staff member I rented with used it to get me a "smallish" discount at the weekend.

how to find great AWD's
 

I'm new to this forum but not so new to traveling ;-) Anyway, I thought I would share my little tricks on finding great Avis (and other car rental companies) AWD's.

I simply search Google using the following keywords:
Conference May 2007 Orlando Avis AWD

(of course, adjust month, year, city, rental car company, and rental car company code - i.e., 'AWD' for Avis, 'BCD' for budget, etc.)

The fun part is, that the AWD's you get are published ones and as long as you can convince the clerk that you are going to whatever conference, then you are in good shape. The key is to look for "BIG" conferences (IEEE, Telecommunication, Medical, etc.) not those little "Brickmaker Assoc.", ...

For example, Orlando is hosting a IEEE conference in March and if you are there, use AWD code A606094, or in May use AWD T706699 for a Telecommunication conference, ... both of these codes knock off about 40% (!) and even work (at a lower discount) elsewhere ...

Well, those are my 2-cents worth ...

actually, not a bad idea. Conferences usually get decent discounts, as good as the best AWD's for corporations around. The benefit is that you usually do not need to show any ids for these AWD's.

"american automobile association" aka AAA.

Where do I start?
 

I am attempting to rent a car for a vacation from April 7th (landing in Fort Lauderdale) (will be driving to Jensen Beach and Leaving from Fort Lauderdale Monday April 16th around 5am. I will be travelling with another adult 1 infant, 1 toddler and two pre teens so it appears I may need a bigger vehicle. With all of my searching I am shocked at the rates I am seeing. Can anyone suggest how I might begin to find a car with a reasonable rate....thank you.
Dawn

Try a priceline bid for a full size or premmium. I do not know what the laws are as far as "pre teens" in the front seat, but that may restrict you to SUV's and vans if they such a law.

I would suggest to start bidding for a full size at about 22 a day and have several emails handy in case they input bid restrictions (which happens). walk your way up until your bid gets accepted. when its accepted, priceline will offer you upgrades within their system for x dollars more per day. use those options to decide which would be best.

remember that you will be locked into this deal no matter what, itll be prepaid.
You could also try hotwire, but they will be a tad more expensive, but there you can see the prices without comittment.

Busted on Employee Code??
 

Okay so used this code a few times and recently was busted for not being an employee. Told them I did not make the reservation and ended up paying full fare. Does anyone know if I will be flagged from now on???

I'm planning on going to Alaska in the fall for a few days before our cruise departs. I've found that the Florida Visitors Bureau code (J868801) gives me the best rates (about 30% off of my corporate rate that can be used for personal use). When I use the code at Avis.com, it does not prompt me to use the AWD I entered or the one associated with my account, it just accepts it. So, I have 2 questions. Do you think I'll be questioned with this code in Anchorage? Also, will my preferred select/avis first benefits apply (possible upgrade, skip the counter, etc)?

Thanks in advance!

Probably a note in your Preferred acct that says "verify AWD use" if you used that acct that time. The interesting thing is tha tthere are back end security measures that arent apparent to the counter. For instance, your DL number might be on the hidden list, every time you rent, they verify for authenticity. Get caught again, youll be on the "at risk" list, which is public and better known as the "do not rent" list.

Be carefuly.

One Way discount code?
 

I am renting a vehicle out of Detroit and dropping off in Buffalo. The rate is almost $100 a day clear. Are there any codes that reduces one way rental costs?

anyone
 

anyone know what this rate is? It seems great

Why use such risky code? This is indeed Florida Empolyee discount code. If you are unable to provide proof upon rental, you may end up paying full price. I have found AWD C031529 (some technology company) offers better discount without need of ID. Case in point:

FLL April 21-28
A113400 - $166 Full Size
C031529 - $150 Full Size

MCO April 21-28
A113400 - $209 Full Size
C031529 - $160 Full Size

Thoughts on this AWD?
 

How about D005150? Anyone have experience with it? Ezmonee?

It appears to be some kind of generic discount for events that have a flight discount through American Airlines ranging from OB/Gyn conferences to weddings. Anyone think I'll have to tell them the specific event I'm in town for?

Discount Code in UK
 

I found this code works in the UK too (from the US reservations site): D004951. Gave me the same discount as D005927. My trip is later this month, so hopefully all will go well at the rental counter when the time comes.

Does this mean employee of Florida or an Avis Florida employee?

It means a State of Florida employee, but it's actually the Florida State University contract which is made available to all State employees as well as all state college and university employees. I am a Florida public college employee, and have used this code many times. FWIW, I've never been asked for my ID (but always have it ready). The contract specifically allows personal use with this code, so it's no problem to have a boatload of kids in tow. Interestingly, if you use a Wizard number with this code you will get rack rates. I don't know if that's normal or not, but it definitely affects the rates on this code.

P220135
 

This is my company code - P220135

I find it often saves me some $ in USA and Australia. Im about to try it in Europe too

Hi,
I am going to Curacao on vacation next Saturday for a week. Which Avis coupon should I use to get the best deal? I'm happy to hire the cheapest compact car as we're not going to do too much driving.

thanks,
R ;)

can anybody help?
thanks,

Avis Coupons have Disappeared from Entertainment Card Site!
 

All of the Avis coupons (some that have repeatedly saved me a significant amount of money) have disappeared and been replaced by a single significantly less useful (actually useless to me) coupon that requires you to rent a GPS unit to get a free one car class upgrade.

For frequent Avis renters, this could be a bad sign for the future with Avis - fewer good discounts to be offered? :td:

Best code for full size SUV from JFK in June for a week
 

Does anyone have a code that will give a good rate on a full size SUV rented from JFK on June 12 for 7 - 9 days? The rates are so high, but we have a lot of people so we want to get the SUV if we can get a good rate on it. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Avis Code from Australia
 

I use this code P382630. It from the Engineers Australia. Reduces the rates, esp. in Europe very nicely. Never been asked for proof even if I could.

Also, does anyone has experience what to do, in regards to membership levels, when moving around the world. I live on and off at different continents.
I was given Avis First, as I do have a US adress, but am not reachable there due to work overseas. Are the weekend coupons only good in the US??
And still, I can not enter the Avis First site, despite multiple emails and phonecalls. Any suggestions??
