You are right about A074800 is better at ORD for regular cars. I think it might be because this location rasied their pirces on the cars so much but A074800 must have pre-negotiated rates for regular car classes. For other vehicle classes at the same location / time:

Full Size SUV
C031529 480.69 USD
A074800 505.99 USD

Convertible
C031529 422.74 USD
A074800 444.99 USD

COOL CAR - Cadillac CTS
C031529 521.99 USD
A074800 548.99 USD

...etc.

Hi

I need to rent a car from August 6, 2007 to August 20, 2007 at Barcelona Airport (BCN). I've found an AWD number upper in this topic (D005927) and I run a search on avis.com to get a quote. First quote, without any AWD number and my citizenship Romanian I got 530 EUR , the second time when I used this awd code D005927 I got my quote 313 EUR . Amazing , what can I say , 200 EUR discount hell of a deal, but , what are the risks for me to book the car with this code ?

Sorry for being a newb and not reading the whole thread (it's kinda big..) , maybe it was discussed previously , my mistake

Can I know why my post was deleted ? I've only asked what could happen if I use an AWD code

Seems nobody could answer to this ... so I've asked Avis directly

A bit late now for this particular poster, but for people contemplating contacting Avis regarding questions like this in the future, please do not do it. We have seen with other companies that queries like this can prompt changes to their policies that curtail the value of these codes to the FT community.

used A074800
 

No id requested, no problems, saved about 50$ on 2day at YYZ...

Thanks ALL!:eek::)

Good day, all:

Please stay on topic and refrain from personal attacks. Posts deleted that strayed :)

Thanks!

OGG (Maui) rental this fall, 5+ days (weekly rate), base rates:

disc code compact intermed.
Orbitz $182+ $193+
A074800 (citi) $165+ $170+
B292100 (dcbar) $177+ $188+
C031529 $177+ $188+
B999900 $177+ $188+
K019300 $187+ $198+

The last one is a United "promo" that purportedly saves up to 25%. That's almost a fraudulent advert, as it is higher than the orbitz rate!

Avis.com is showing a nice $30 off one-week promo (valid 8/20-12/15/07) but it is limited to continental US :( - use code MUWA086

Thanks again to whoever first posted the citi rate.

And feel free to use the DC Bar rate, nobody has ever asked for my membership card.

Addendum: After all this work I find out I have to book my car througha special rez # and Avis will not let me use any discount codes with my Hawaii voucher. Aargh!

what/who is A153700?
 

This gives me BY FAR the best rate, yet you advise don't use... any more details you can share?
thanks!

codes that work for Specialty Cars?
 

I really want to try the Spyder..
Anybody know of a code that works well for Specialty?
J868801 gave me a great rate on 'convertible' but no discount on 'specialty'...

Thanks!!

Code A153700 is listed on the first page of this thread, as well as many posts warning against using it throughout these thread pages. It's the Avis Employee Discount Rate, so unless you are really an Avis Employee, don't use it, as you'll get nailed for it at pick-up.

Received this Delta Skymiles promo from AMEX today. When I priced a 4-day rate, it was SKYhigh, but maybe someone else will find it to be a good promotion....

"Rent for 3 days and receive 250 bonus SkyMiles. Use coupon number MUAA078.

Rent for 4 days or more and receive 1000 bonus SkyMiles. Use coupon number MUAA082.

Also remember to use your Avis Worldwide Discount (AWD) number K817600 to receive up to 25% off your next rental."

An old favorite still gives good rates domestically
 

D005297 gives me a $175 intermediate rate at DTW, $25 less than the Citi rate (A074800) and quite a lot less than some of the others (for example, D005927, which has been very good for me in Europe, comes up with $348!).

For those who are interested, I've used 5927 - the Bankruptcy Trustee rate - twice in the past year in Italy and Austria with no issue and very good pricing. There's no verification/ID required for general corporate rates. As always, YMMV - so I make "backup" reservations at another agency - but I've never been challenged, and I've used FT-posted codes 4 or 5 times without issue.

A few weeks ago at DCA when the weather was spectacular, they didn't have any problems giving me the Spyder upon request, when I booked full size (also while using the $30 off a 3 day rental coupon). I'm a First member, but don't know how much impact that had. If you're looking for a convertible that's overall pleasant, you're much better off with the Mustang. If you're looking to turn heads of everyone around, then the Spyder is the one for you... just depends on your desires.

I love this thread. D005927 always gives me crazy prices in Spain and Portugal. ^

Apparently it belongs to some Colombian company because they asked me how the weather was in Cartagena :D

I'm so glad I checked this post. I'm using DTW and I got the $175.00 for one week plus a free upgrade because I'm a preferred member. Thanks for the post.

new to 'an old standby'
 

We will be doing a Mount Rushmore to Yellowstone trip in mid August. I was quoted a great discount using D005297 on the Avis site. When I show up to get our vehicle, am I to anticipate any problems? questions? I would like to be prepared. Thank you all. This forum has been very valuable!

I know there's a lot of pages, but do a search for D005297 (look on the upper right hand side of the page), and you'll find every post related to that code. If you have time, read the entire thread, or at least go back a few pages and read. I joined this thread late, and read it from the beginning to get an idea of what to expect.

B790073 (Entertainment Book) Has been working the best for me on Intermediate/Compacts recently, by about $5-10.

I just used D005297 at DTW & it worked just fine. I reserved last week when I saw the post for it at $175.00. The shuttle bus takes you to Avis. The courtesy driver on the bus has a database and he pulls up your name & reservation if you're a preferred customer and once you get to the lot your name is on the board with space # and you just go and get in your car. All you need is your drivers license on the way out. I would suggest everyone sign up for the preferred service because it's free. No waiting in lines and if you already have a credit card on file you don't have to go in.

i looked back a few days and couldn't find this coupon. can you assist?

thanks.

Thanks for responding to my post. We've changed our plans to the California coast from Mount Rushmore. I'll use D005297. It seems to give the best rate.

Hi All,

Trying to book a car in Spain using D005927 and it's giving a great price but with an (L) next to price. Down below it says:

(L) Indicates a Leisure rate. This car class is not covered under your AWD code, and your corporate benefits will not apply.

Has anyone gotten this before? Seems that every code I put in is coming up with same (L).

Thanks.

Under DISCOUNT CODES, check the box: Check Lowest rate. You shouldn't get the L then.

A074800 no unlimited miles?
 

Hi,

I get the lowest rate ($310) for a one-way luxury weekly rental from sfo (city location) to lax (airport location). However, when i go to confirm it says no miles are included. Is there any way to get unlimited miles through another promotion code or coupon? The next lowest rate I can find is $391 w/unlimited miles under code D005297.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm having a similar problem, with all the one way rates coming up with $.31/mile or $.40/mile.

I tried to use MUWA086 for a one week rental and no matter what dates I choose I keep getting this error message: "This coupon cannot be used on these dates." The coupon does not work for me. Anyone had any luck with it?

i am looking for a car in israel
 

and for some reason they ignore all kind off awd codes i put in does somone know why

I tried MUGH199 & it worked ^ but it's only for $25.00 off. MUWA086 is acting crazy for me. Why does Avis have it on it's site if it's not going to work right?

Hi yoval,
Welcome to FT.
Most AWD codes will not work in Israel.
Are you trying to book through avis Israel, or avis.com?
Feel free to PM (Personal message) me with the details, like when you want the car for, and what prices you got, and I might be able to help.

per the terms and conditions:

"Blackout in all locations from 7/9/2007 -8/20/2007."

bump on the $30 off 3 day rental coupon. details please....

Can anyone confirm if they recently used this code D005297 and were required to present ID?

ok
 

i am new here and dont know tet how to do it but with time il learn

5150 feedback
 

D005150

I used it without problem at a city location in London in April and saved about 15 sterling per day.

After running it through Google and digging through many pages, I'm pretty sure it's some kind of discount tied to American Airlines - not an employee or corporate discount but something that is offered on events that someone has negotiated special pricing for the airfare through American. That seemed to be the one common denominator for all the events that it is was tied to.

This code will no longer work for UK rentals.
In fact most discount codes have stopped working since last week.

Unfortunately I can confirm this for european rentals with D005927, after 08AUG the discount disappeared.

Yap, and D005591 :td:

Uuuuggghhh!!! No wonder all the rates went up so dramatically recently...

any one know of bonus mile coupon codes for 2 day weekday (business) rentals?
