10 Days rental from Chicago
 

Hey Guys, Im a new member here. I have been a big fan of this forum and truly appreciates all the great work you been doing.

Need a help with a 10 days rental from Chicago suburs

I would like to get a premium or luxury car for my 10 day trip:cool:

The lowest i find for premium is around 400 and luxury is 200 extra.'

Im a Avis preferred member too but not sure if that matters while renting from a non airport location.

Please help me with your suggestion.

Thanks

Great, thanks IAHtraveler.

Try this: AWD H855900 - save up to 20% at non-airport locations, combined with:
Coupon UUWA055 - free upgrade (max upgrade is to premium car group)

These may also work:
Coupon MUWA006 - $25 off weekly rental (5+ days)
Coupon TUWA045 - free day with weekly rental

Also, do you belong to any frequent flyer programs? Avis is offering 35% off discount specials for several airlines through the end of August

Citibank, Farmers, and others have some pretty good discounts with Avis - there is a list on page 226 of this thread

Here is a big list of:
- current Avis bonus mile offers for US and Canada airlines
- all (I think, anyway) Avis airline partners and their current offers, including AWD numbers for different status levels

I try my best to keep the list updated at all times - if you notice anything that needs correction, needs to be added, etc., please let me know, either through the comments or contact form on my site or here on FT.

Looking for a better rate than what I have at the moment, and it's last minute:

Hi, Thanks.

I tried using the above codes and it increases the rates than i already have. I also noticed in my profile that it shows me as AVIS First. Does that mean i will get an upgrade automatically. To get a premium i can just reserver a full size?

The current rates shows the fullsize is 280$ for 10 days (18th Jul to 28th July) non airport.
Premium is 350$

Few days before i was able to find this at 220$ for a full size and the rates have now gone up.

Need your help guys.:confused:

Sorry the codes did not work for you. What is your rental location and rental dates? Maybe someone can help you using this information.

Then, unless I'm mistaken, you are already being shown invitation-only rates. I doubt there's a code you can use to get cheaper than that.

You do get a free upgrade with Avis First. They're supposed to upgrade you automatically (when available), but in my experience you might want to call them, either to make a reservation or to confirm the upgrade after reserving online. Dedicated toll free number 800-331-1200 (US only) for Avis First customers

Thanks for the response. I will be really grateful if someone can find a better deal for me

Location:Schaumburg, IL
Dates: 18th Jul - 28th Jul
Car type: Premium, preferrable Luxury(due to 10 days trip;)

Though my profile shows Avis first in avis site, my login doesnt work in Avis first site. So im not sure if i will get an upgrade.

Also i was using Costco codes to reserve, and it was showing me the same rate even with my avis login and without login, so not sure if i get any special rates for AVIS FIRST.

Sorry, but anything for off-airport France? I'm going to need to make a last minute booking soon.

I have booked a reservation, dint prepay for it though. Will try calling the toll free sometime today.
Hopefully i get upgraded to a premium. crossing fingers. Went through few threads on AVIS First and there was no upgrade by default.
Meanwhile checked the Budget it was few bucks lesser than AVIS for fullsize. But i would stick with AVIS considering the AVIS FIRST.

Here's a list of Avis coupon codes and special AWD / coupon code combinations.

These tend to expire, I'll try to keep the list updated. or re-post as necessary. You can combine ("stack") these with AWD numbers. I got a standard car for 7 days for $177 at LAX in July by stacking A074800 (Citibank / Citicorp corporate AWD) with UUWA029 (free upgrade). I paid with a Citibank card and was not asked for any other proof of eligibility for the discount.

Coupon Code Discount
UUWA029 Free upgrade
UUWA055 Free upgrade ***EXPIRED***
MUWA006 $25 off 5+ rental ***EXPIRED***
TUWA045 Free rental day w/ 5+ day rental
MUWA192 Free day of GPS w/ 5+ day rental
J046300 Save up to 25% on weekly US / Canada reservations made from int’l locations

TUHA019 Best Western Rewards - free weekend day plus 750 bonus points
UPDA029 Free double upgrade in Australia

Here are some special combinations (use both AWD number and coupon code):

More information about each code (restrictions, etc.):

I found out you can use code UPDA029 or other codes in the list to reserve cars from multiple countries, not just the US.

I meant, how do you stack codes? I want to use the queensland govt awd on my next trip to AU but would also love to use an additional code for upgrade?

On the Avis website, check the box "I have a discount code", then you will see three fields: AWD Number, Coupon Code, and Rate Code. Enter your Queensland gov't AWD in the AWD number field and enter UPDA029 (double upgrade) or UPPA067 (single upgrade) in the coupon code field, then proceed with your search as normal.

Not all AWD numbers work with all coupon codes. This is also dependent on your rental location and dates. Sometimes you have to play around with different combinations for awhile to find the best deal.

If you are trying to find the best rate through multiple searches using multiple AWD numbers and coupon codes, clear the cookies in your browser between searches - you'll be amazed at the difference this can sometimes make.

I never had any luck calling the location up front for car selection.

They never pick up the phone and would only forward you to the main reservation line/
