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.

Has anyone had any luck with the AWD E027237 ?
I've never tried to book before but id gives a massive discount for a week-long rental in Italy
I've tried looking at the Internet but cannot find any information about it, and same here on Flyertalk
Thanks!

I have tried a few, well a lot of the codes on this thread and the best discount i just found (almost $70 cheaper for a two day rental at FLL ) is AWD # Z549275 company name is Villa
Let me know if you guys find the same to be true for you too ... I think its a great code took my two day rental from $190 down to $124 for a prem car at FLL

But its allowing me to prepay on the "4" screen!
IF I prepay, is this guaranteed booking? Can they renege upon arrival? Should I not prepay?
Thanks

Here are the down sides I can see: you don't have an employee ID and you don't even know the name of the company or where the code is from (I haven't figured that out yet - I'll keep looking in my spare time). In addition, the fact that the discount is so large will likely call attention to your rental.
However, the very worst that can happen is that they refuse you the rental, refund your pre-payment, and try to charge you the walk-up rate. If they accuse you of wrongdoing, simply claim ignorance - say you didn't realize this was a code that only certain people are supposed to use.
In this case, having a back-up reservation with another agency is essential (obviously don't prepay for the backup). Then, if the worst happens, simply thank the Avis agent for his or her time, and make your way to Hertz or wherever you made the backup reservation.

If that's a corporate code that requires employee ID, they can refuse to rent to you, of course. If they refuse, they obviously have to refund the money you prepaid.

On Amadeus RES, doing a dummy booking with this AWD on different point of sales for the SAME airport (Rome FCO) bring something different each time:
->From the UK POS, this AWD brings a "Travel agency" name
->From Italy, it's FINNMECCANICA
->From Germany, it's EASY EUROPE
so I think this is definitely a weird code and one can try to check.
I have done a backup booking with Hertz so we'll see.
I'm also Preferred and Amex Plat, so they might not be enclined to challenge it

If one was to make an alternative reservation as suggested above, but this code was to work ok, could you just ignore the other res, or what?

Anyone have luck in Norway?
I'm looking to get a passenger van in Bergen (BGO), Norway for this summer. I can't seem to find any codes that help bring the cost down. Right now this is pricing out at $1084 for 6 days. I'm open to either returning the van to Bergen (BGO) or to Oslo (OSL).
Appreciate any help on this - thanks!

the idea behind backup rentals is the following:
Most rental companies allow you, when doing a flex booking, to cancel up to the date and time of departure for no fee.
In which case you just book a rental at the backup company half an hour after your scheduled rental for the initial one, if the initial works you can just cancel the backup online at no extra cost (depends on our rental's T&C)
