Most likely it's typical supply & demand. They are projecting low demand this weekend so they'll drop prices so they can move some cars off their lots. This isn't uncommon. Last weekend at RDU was the opposite: I booked 3 weeks prior and got a rate of ~$100. As the weekend approached, rates went up over 50%.

Thanks for the coupon codes in this thread, save me a few bucks.. here is my contribution...

I saw many people asking what coupon is for what company etc, you can use this link to find that out:

https://www.avis.com/car-rental/profile/go.ac?A126900

just change the AWD number in the end to whatever you want to check. As you can see the above is for Lockheed Martin.

Also note that page is nice to check if there are any coupon codes associated with an AWD as they sometimes list them on that page.

Enjoy :)

That is a ridiculously useful link! Thanks for posting :) ^

Couldn't agree more! I just made a WikiPost to reflect the info.

That probably was not a wise thing to do.

Why do you say?

I am brand new and used the code for the discount through Avis A442100 and received a wonderful deal. Who does the code belong to? Will they ask me for ID upon pick up at Sarasota International Airport. Thank you all for taking the time to help us save money.

Hi lilmaggie, welcome to Flyertalk and to the Avis forum :)
This code is a corporate rate for employees of Deloitte. I use this rate to rent cars on a regular basis and have never been asked for any kind of ID. However, I guess there is always a chance that you could be asked some potentially awkward questions, so be prepared...

Greetings! I have a reservation for early October which I booked with a USAA code I found a few pages back. It gave me an incredible rate. The code is A177204. I tried to use the link to determine for sure if this was a USAA code. The link gave me an error for that code. I have since joined USAA (parent is former military). They give the code A177232 to all members to use. When using the USAA supplied code it says "welcome USAA member" then goes on to give all the benefits Avis gives USAA members. I'm contemplating rebooking using the general code to guarantee the benefits (free additional driver, insurance etc). The booking would be a little more expensive. I'm guessing since I don't see the benefit info using the code I found in this forum on page 196. Any insight would be appreciated.

Hello.
I want to go to Australia in 2014.
Has anyone used E153702 here?
It gives me a special rate without OW Fare and unlimitted milage on a 4WD for Perth-Broome, used on the german avis site.
Does anyone know if there are any ristrictions on this code?
Thanks a lot.

AWD E153702 gives a very big discount outside of USA. I used it successfully in SCL in 2012, SYD & ZRH in 2013. No id requested. It was advertised in ABC Madrid in 1986 for the general public. It may now be an Avis employee discount code. ID once asked for from an FT poster at LHR.

Here is the ad from ABC:

What's the best one way rental discount code these days? Let me know what affiliation is attached to it too. I'm looking for a great one-way code with unlimited miles, going from GFK to MSP if that helps.

any codes for new Zealand?

thanks!!

Anyone used this in New Zealand?

What happens when you try to use the code?
