For one week in BOS (07/16-07/23) C031529 dropped the rate from $358 to $293 on standard.

Edit:


WARNING: DO NOT use Avis C03___9 AWD discount code anymore. I got a
very reliable confirmation from an inside guy that this code is black
listed now. Effective immedately, all benfits associated with code are
removed(including free LDW insurance), anyone use this code will pay
maxiumum rack rate regardless of reservation or website showing rate as
well as company ID must be produced. A warning flag has been raised on
this AWD and most likely you will be questioned about where you got the
code. All in all, this code is nothing but trouble from now on.

Oh well, it was great while it lasted.

Avis in Orlando?
 

Deleted....

And...?
 

So does every other code I have. The point is that even $293 is more than twice what I'm paying now for the same week-long rental and much, much, more - by lots of $$$ - than I've ever seen in Boston before.

Less than 20% off is hardly a good deal when the starting price is - by historical standards hereabouts - ridiculously high.

My test of a San Diego code is the price for a one way car rental from CLD to LAX. The best I've found to date is A074800.

Shareholders code
 

I have heard about a sharholders code that gives you up to 50% off any booking anywhere!

Does anyone know anything about it?

wow, if there was a shareholder coupon I would be aLL over that!

Be careful. I think that is an Avis employee code. I heard people have problems with those A codes. They do give great rates but what happens when you get there and they ask for proof of employment?

My notes say A074800 is the Citicorp Leisure Travel rate.

It is indeed a Citicorp AWD number, not an Avis employee discount.

What about AWD D005927? Do we know what that's associated with and whether proof of ID is required? It's helped me secure a good rate in France.

Thanks!

I think that one belongs to the National Association of Bankruptcy Trustees. Not sure if proof of ID is required...

Scorned One
 

Hi everyone, I am new here. Enjoyed reading some of the many posts around.

I must say, be careful about which codes you use. Do not use A153700. You won't get it. Don't use any Ernst & Young codes either. They will check. B999900 is always good, it's for anyone. Any questions,feel free to ask...

I do not know to with which organisation this code is associated but D005927 is a safe code as I use it all the time with absolutely no questions asked. On top of that it gives me the best rates of all the codes I tried in the Netherlands and Denmark. This is a 40% discount on their normal rates by the way. Enjoy this great AWD code

Anyone had any experiences with A6791000? It's the Hawaii State Bar discount code, so probably not as risky as an employee discount, but I still want to know if anyone's tried it and gotten shot down. Especially since I can get the same rate with C031529. Thanks!

For a two day, midweek, rental of an intermed. vehicle at IAH, the following AWD codes gave the base rates indicated below:

A674600 $108.80
D005927 $147.98
C031529 $114.00
A074800 $ 74.00
B999900 $129.90

So, YMMV! I was surprised that D005927 was so high. As others have indicated, it gives the best rates of any code in Europe.

J868801
 

Best at BOS today of all recent ones cited: $30.00/day.

If you find an AWD code that is cheaper than the one associated to your Wizard number, can you make a reservation at the lower rate and still get the Preffered perks like hopping on the bus to go straight to your car?

Usually not, unless it's a promo code (i.e., Amex gas card deal). When changing the code from the one bound to your Wizard number, you will often lose Preferred benefits on the reservation (and the res. will not appear in your logon page) - but you can always try hiking to the Preferred Booth and seeing if they will service you.

Greenville SC - Discount Code?
 

I need a nine day rental in mid July at GSP. Can anyone comment on a what some of the better codes might be for this?

Thank you.

AWD Code and ID Check
 

Hello all --

I searched the board, but couldn't find a definitive answer on this question. I booked two one way rentals for next week using the A074800 code (CitiFinancial) from Buffalo to Toronto and the A674600 code (unknown origin) for the return trip a week later and got some great rates, however, I'm fearing when I get there they won't honor one or both codes and I'll be stuck in Toronto paying a ridiculous amount to get back. Does anyone have experience with either or both of these codes and whether anyone can use them or if I will need to show some sort of ID? Thanks everyone for your help with this.

If you use C031529 it will be okay. No ID is needed for this one.

Actually, prior to my being invited into the Chairmans Club, my experience in using different AWD codes with Preferred Select reservations was as follows:

If I got the cheapest rate with my WIZ-linked AWD code, of course all went well including getting credit for the rental towards future Preferred Select status.

Sometimes I would get a cheaper rate on the AVIS website with non-WIZ-linked AWD code, which also ended up getting me credit for the rental towards future Preferred Select status.

Occasionally, some AWD codes would get me a really good rate, but on trying to finalize the transaction I would get a message "The Discount Code you have entered is not compatible with your Wizard ID." In most of those situations, I signed out of the AVIS site, made the reservation on the site as a non-AVIS member (using the desired AWD code), and then called AVIS Preferred's Customer Service to have them link my WIZ ID to the reservation.

Help with Oneway rental
 

I am going to be needing a car for 10 days (DEN-LAS) for an upcoming trip in 3 weeks.

The best rate I have received so far is for the intermediate suv using the C031529 code. Still the rate after taxes is coming out to be $ 599. Base rate is $ 458 for 9 days and 20 hours. I would actually prefer a premium car, but it has excessively high rates.

I want some tips on whether this is the best I could get for my trip or if I should be trying other options/codes?

I have tried various codes that I found on the last couple of pages, except the ones starting with A and some other codes that were deemed problematic.

I just want to make sure that they don't ask for any kind of special ID or actual flyer or something to validate the code and so only want to use the legitimate codes - this is just to avoid a last minute extortion from anyone where I would have no choice but to go along.

Thanks

Delta has a code that provides the same %'s as the Citi code in the thread. In addition, until mid-july you can get up to 5,000 delta miles depending on the length of your rental. I received an email from delta w/a link to avis for the promotion.

Not in my experience. One day SNA-LAS one-way.

Citi Code:
Subcompact Chevrolet Aveo or similar 36.00 USD
Compact Chevrolet Cobalt or similar 36.00 USD
Intermediate Pontiac G6 or similar 37.00 USD
Standard Size Chevrolet Monte Carlo or similar 38.00 USD
Full Size Chevrolet Impala or similar 39.00 USD

Delta Code:
Subcompact Chevrolet Aveo or similar 45.99 USD
Compact Chevrolet Cobalt or similar 46.99 USD
Intermediate Pontiac G6 or similar 58.99 USD
Standard Size Chevrolet Monte Carlo or similar 62.99 USD
Full Size Chevrolet Impala or similar 62.99 USD

Citi Code wins for me. OTOH, for DL elites, 11.99 for 1,000 EQM is not a bad ppm :)

Here's one from Midwest Airlines that seems to work out pretty good.

http://www.midwestairlines.com/MAWeb...rDisplay.aspx?

25% on intermediate gave me $371 all in in Anchorage downtown for labor day weekend (4 days) additional of about another $35 if at the airport. Comes out to about $90 a day. Seems decent for Alaska.

I've used it many times in different areas of the world (usually Europe) with no issue. YMMV.

Another good code to use: X846850

I used the A074800 code and that has given me by far the best rate so far ($ 425 for a full size) after the C031529 code ($ 667 for a full-size).

The big question now as someone else asked before is whether using this code requires one to produce some kind of an ID? It is suppose to be a Citi financial code?

I am thinking of making dual reservations, one in the wife's name with the A** code and the other with the regular C** code. I would first try to give them the details of the reseravtion with the A** code, and if that does not fly then go back to the other one with the higher price.

Anyone have other suggestions?

btw, the delta code was suppose to be a good one though I can't qualify as it is only valid until july 15th.

Thanks

obviously, it all depends on the location and 1way vs. rdtrp. i have used the Citi and Delta (i don't even fly delta, but gonna have a free flight soon b/c of Avis) at the same airport for more than 2 months. some weeks it's the same, some it's different.

Hence, more codes, more searching = better rates.

AWD D005927, according to my information, is the Amateur Sports Assistance Program. I use it quite often and have never ever been asked for ID. Actually, I've used a variety of AWDs over the years and have never ever been asked for ID for any of them. Fortunately, the D005927 code is compatible with my WIZ#, too.

Incidentally, D005927 replaced D002807 (same sponsor) sometime in 2004.

Avis one way car rental? Kansas City to Indy...
 

Looking for best ONE WAY CAR RENTAL rate from Kansas City, MO (airport or other location) to the Indianapolis, IN Airport. Last year I rented from Avis and had a 140.00 rate including miles. This year the rates are up to 350 with miles. How do I find a good Rate with no miles. I used this link from another thread but the rate was billing out miles.

https://www.Avis.com/AvisWeb/reserva...NUMBER=C031529

Anyone know of any decent codes / offers to use in and around LAX for 10 days next week?

Um, you may be thinking of "D005297". I've been using it in Europe and it's quite the deal. I just booked a midsize in DUB 19 days for $738 base (Ireland is insanely expensive in August!). Just to compare, I price checked "D005927" and the base rate is $821. Careful with those transposing those digits!

Thanks -- this code knocked a five-day mid-August rental at DCA from $280 down to $195. I appreciate it.

Another purely anecdotal cost comparison post...

For a Standard Size rental, 5 days in MSP in August.

A074800 US 255.23 USD
D005297 US 295.13 USD
C031529 US 371.08 USD
L093590 US 371.08 USD
X846850 US 383.95 USD
D005927 US 480.44 USD

I know you Q was about an Avis code, but...Depending on your location, needs, etc. Enterprise usually has solid rates from their off airport rental locations. Plus, you lose the airport fees. Just something to consider, whether it is worth your time, effort, and $ is another story.

A074800
 

Okay, sorry to be so thick-headed, but I'm looking for success stories in using A074800 (aka Citicorp account), without using any form of ID.

That code takes a HUGE chunk off a weekly rental in Chicago.

Another comparsion:

Location: LAS
Date: Oct 23
Duration: 1 week
Vehicle: Intermediate

No code: 198.99
C031529: 179.09 ^
L093590: 179.09
X846850: 179.09
A074800: 185.00
D005927: 198.99
D005297: 198.99

Another one:

ORD, 7/23-30
Intermediate Class:
Nothing: $391.99
A074800: $200.00 (even)
C031529: $350.15

(do I need to go on?)
