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.

I've just used this code on Avis.co.uk and it applied - happy days.
If my Quidco tracks through as well, its a very, very good deal.

I will need to rent a car at SFO for 3 weeks. Using a couple of standard AWDs I've had luck with in the past gives me the best rate of $390 for a compact vehicle. Any tips on possibly getting a lower one?

A buddy of mine who works at a large tech firm gave me his Wizard number - rentals I am seeing with it come at a serious discount. But it does also bring up his name when I search for cars. I know the chances of being asked to verify employment are hit and miss, however if his name is linked should I still proceed using it? Just comparing his code to my Amex Travel is close to $1k savings for the 10 days I'm looking to rent!

EDIT: I was able to find the code associated with the company, and use that on search without his Wiz number associated and got the same rates. You can correct me if this is the wrong approach. Thanks!

When you're logged into his account it's probably just applying the AWD for his company. Negotiated corporate rates are often (but not always) lower than publicly available discount codes (Costco, AAA, AARP, etc.). While enforcement is spotty, you may be asked for proof at the rental counter. There may be other discounts you're eligible for that come without risk. Worth looking into.

Full Size van rental

I'm looking to rent a full size van for my church for their youth volunteer week. I'd like to get them the best rate possible (to reduce our fundraising needs).

I started with autoslash:
Your 3 Days, 8 hours Rental
Skip navigation to car results
Rochester (ROC)
Pick-up: 09:00AM, Mon, Jul 24, 2017 - Drop-off: 05:00PM, Thu, Jul 27, 2017
The Autoslash rate for Avis full size van is $641.33

Here is the rate I could get using AARP
Due at pick-up: $628.11
Base Price: $495.88
Taxes and Fees: $132.23
That looks like a very good rate. Should I go with that one?

Thanks
Mike

Our recommendation is to go with wherever you get the best deal. Just make sure you don't have to pay up-front as most of those deals have cancellation penalties and prices are likely to drop in the coming months.

That said, I just looked on AARP.com and I'm seeing $661.14 as the best rate. Are you sure you are using the same dates/time? If you are able to book at the lower rate and you don't have to pre-pay, just go ahead and then track the rental for lower rates at autoslash.com/track and we'll let you know if we find a better deal.

Did Avis change the AWD numbers recently? The codes I used to use still show the same prices as before, but when I go to book I get an error message. The rate code you entered requires an Avis World Wide Discount (AWD) number. Please go back and enter your AWD number or remove the rate code you entered.

Why does it display the prices under my AWD, the AWD I've been using for at least 15 years now, but then it won't let me book it?

Not a change in the AWDs, but changes in their website coding. IIRC (having made the adjustment several months ago) if you log in, add the AWD to your profile, and then make the reservation, you'll be able to book the rez.

Or use avis.ca where the old method still works.

I had a one-day rental in the Netherlands under the A515100 code for the locally very low rate of 33 eur/day. It turned out that the 200 mi included (and confirmed to me) were 200km - luckily this wasn't an issue for me. However, the insurance co-pay was 15,000 eur for this rate - up from 700 eur normally. Not a good thing.

Leading me to ask: are there any codes that include full insurance + all risk waver for renting with avis in the Netherlands against a good rate?

You do realize that A515100 is a discount code for employees of Hewlett Packard right? It doesn't matter whether the insurance co-pay (excess) is 700 EUR or 15,000 EUR because if you have an accident and you try to use the insurance included with that discount code, the first thing you are going to be asked is to prove you work for HP. If you cannot show that you do, then the insurance coverage is likely to be null and void and you will be responsible for the full amount of any damage you caused. Just want you to be aware of the risks.

Has there been a case reported of this actually occurring? There was a thread in the Hertz forum where a member actually had an accident under this circumstance, but it was not clear that the member was in the end, on the hook for the full amount of the damage, and it ended up being a bunch of conjecture.
