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'm booking a rental for January, and because I'm now located overseas, the system at Avis (like the one at Budget) gives me a total price that doesn't include all of the usual taxes and fees. So all I'm getting is the base rate with my "reservation" - am I right in assuming this means they're going to stick me with all the taxes and fees when I show up to pick up the car? It's very peculiar. If I claim to be a resident of USA, the rates are all different (same AWD), and the taxes are included. For example, as an overseas resident, my AWD gives me access to an Intermediate SUV for $368.05 with no taxes (pay at counter), whereas as a US resident the same AWD gives access to a Standard SUV for $319 (base) + $155.54 (taxes and fees) for a total (pay at counter) of $474.54. Does anyone have any idea what the deal is here? Is this just how they treat non-residents to a little "welcome to our airport"? Or is some unexpected generosity in store for potential visitors? I've already made a tentative reservation, but when I realized there's no tax on that, I wanted to hop on here and see if anyone has some insights.

UPDATE: I did hear back from Customer Service within a day, and they have confirmed that the amount I'm being shown includes all taxes and fees and is the total amount I can be expected to pay for my rental. This means that, for this particular rental, it will cost me nearly $120 LESS to rent as a non-resident of the USA ($378 total) than it would cost to rent the exact same car if I were a resident ($496.23 all up). No complaints from me, but I do find it surprising.

Which AWD code are you using?
Why does your AWD give access to SUV rates when most are upgrades to intermediate level?
AWD = AVIS WORLD WIDE DISCOUNT

Anyone know this one? D486600
Hi All!
I had removed an AWD that I had from a professional association that I belong to from my profile (as AVIS.com would use that even when I manually entered Costco for example) and it has been blank for a few years now, this morning I logged into my account to search for a car and found an AWD in my account that I did not add.
The AWD is: D486600
I have no idea what it is and a Google search returned nothing.
I did not add it my account and to my knowledge nobody added it for me, I checked with my Wife and that is not the AWD her employer uses, so I am completely stumped.

I used the AVIS family and friends AWD G883000 (only saves about $40 off the total), and I live in New Zealand. As I mentioned in my follow up, Avis includes all taxes and fees up front on the reservation price if you're a non-US resident. Maybe this has to do with international competition levels or some international legislation, but either way it's working out in my favor this time around.

It's true for any discount code you don't actually qualify for. It's probably worth checking for discount codes you do qualify for (Costco, USAA, Southwest Rapid Rewards members, American Express cardmembers, etc.) as the rate may not be all that much higher and then you don't have to worry about being challenged at the rental counter.

Hi All,
First time poster here. I'm trying to find a good deal going one way from New Orleans Airport to Pensacola Airport July 14 1am - July 20 2pm. Over the last few days I've tried pretty much every code in this thread. Best I could find was using AWD G883000 (avis friends and family) with coupon code MUWA071 (25off). That's giving me a pay now rate of $578 total with taxes and fees for a Tahoe or similar with unlimited mileage. Do you think this is the best rate I will find for a one way in an SUV with unlimited mileage or should I keep looking? Does anyone have any other AWD that might get me a better rate? I don't mind doing a pay now, but will be bummed if a cheaper one comes up after I've already paid.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Bombardier again
Resurrecting this precisely because it is so useful. I am eligible for Costco and USAA discounts at Avis, but it turns out that the Bombardier AWD posted here gives me a price that is literally 45% of the Costco discounted price, even without the coupon code (no longer valid) that tcitjh posted.
Since I am renting for three weeks, it is very tempting to try my luck. Am picking up from a downtown location, not airport, if that makes any difference.
Any recent experience using this code? Other advice? Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am asking you for help in finding a discount code, I am from Poland and going to the US I will travel along the East Coast, I would like to rent a car in New York 07 August and return it to New Orleans 25 August ,because traveling with family I'm interested in a class car full size or premum , however, due to the loan and one-way trip the cost he is very expensive. A few months I am looking for good codes and discounts, however, all of which are on the company's website and give me a discount of up to $ 1,600.
Well, this Forum I found a few codes and their use gives a very promising effect
A972200
A442100
G417900
B449700
However, I am afraid that they may be unrecognized when I am already picking up the vehicle. are my fears justified?
