As of 2/12/14: We've had quite a few "Hey, come use this AWD. It's great" type of posts. When the AWD doesn't give a good discount, but is only posted to try to get renters to use the AWD of someone so the poster can earn free days from their Avis Corporate account. From here out, please put the company/trade group/etc that's associated with the AWD or we'll delete the post to keep it on-topic here.

Maybe things have changed, or maYbe these are just two very lucky renters.
Avis locations get Quality inspected every 30-60 days or so. When they come in, they examine every Managers letter collected vs. the number of times the A153700 code is used. The non letters are compared to employees that work at THAT location. any left over names is a fail on inspection and a call to Avis Security.
The location will catch grief and they will get inspected more often, and have the security dept stop in without notice to check those areas. The point is it may have worked this time, but next time could be quite different.

looking for an awd that includes cdw and ali/sli in SFO, as our european creditcards do not cover the insurances relating to car hire in the US i need these insurances to be included in the rate.
Thanks for any awd that you think might do the job.

We used the Avis coupon code A153700 at the end of August to reserve a premium car, without knowing that this was the employee discount code because our friend passed it to us. At the time of pick up, the agent told us we were not eligible for this code. However he did let us used it and we signed the contract. A week later when we returned the car, they took the code away and basically doubled the price. We felt it absurd and didn't sign the 2nd contract. Now we got collection letter from Avis asking for payment for the additional charges.
My question is, is this one worth fighting for? Does the first rental agreement become binding contract once it signed? There is no clause in that contract that said anything about coupon codes. Can they trick customer with a cheap rate at front to get more business, then jack up the price afterwards?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

in short, your screwed. msg me directly and ill try to help.
Even if the employee told you "I will let this slip by this one time.", All businesses have the right to correct billing errors. That is how they would play this in court or arbitration. Then the judge would say "did you accept the car, "premimum class" for X number of days, which is listed as XX.XX per day?"
you would have to say yes. You would argue that you have a signed agreement, then avis would present the agreement addendum, located on the inside of the rental jacket, for which the signed contract refers to. In there, it states that your rate is subject to audit. No matter what, you must pay for the rate that you originally signed, if you have not done so already. Then the difference could be negotated. How you do that is up to you, but I would pay the undisputed portion, then using a rate for a similiar time of year, similar length of time, apply an AWD code that you are eligible for, and pay that portion.
Dont admit wrongdoing, tell them that it was a misunderstanding and you are paying for the portion that you owe based on a similar rate that you are eligible for.
In either case, you are probably on the Do not Rent list. Getting off that list will prove more difficult. This is a good example for everyone why its extremely risky to use the a153700 code.

It is easy to spot the discount in Europe. It's right on the contract.
Also, watch out regarding the use of codes in the US on weekends. Actually avis.com corrects it for you. I was renting in LAX with a very good USD 19.99 rate per day. Since there are no surcharges (off airport property?) in LAX, rentals are remarkbly cheap. However, the normal rate was actually 17.99, so the net amount with tax was around 20. On my contract the D005927 is not there and it was replaced by A888813. This might be the National Motorists Assoc code that I think I originally used when I registered with Avis Preferred. If not then I am curious how it appeared.......

I just booked a week long rental in Auckland, NZ using the D086533 code, and saved almost 20%. Without any code the price quoted was 302.00 NZD, but using this code the rate went down to 243.00 NZD. That is the base rate, prior to taxes and surcharges.

D005297 = Amateur Sports Assistance Program ***NEW***
D005927 = I have no idea but it seems to get better rates! This is the one themicah and some others used for a great discount, and I've got a few rentals booked with it, thinking it was the Amateur Sports Assistance Program rate. But reviewing this thread it seems people have gotten the two confused. I've searched this thread and can't find what D005927 is.
Can anyone shed any light on this? D005927 has come out a LOT cheaper than D005297 on the rentals I've looked at, but I'd just like to know how I should answer any questions about the rate, and now I'm not sure that the comments that tell me "not to worry" are actually about this rate.

Do anybody have any discount code for Puerto Rico? I really need one as soon as possible. I tried several of the one above but did not work. All the code are seven digits but the Avis website only required 6. Which digit do you drop first or last one?
