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.

That Bombardier code is insane. Too bad every location in Toronto asks for ID if you use it.

A 6 month rental with Bombardier is cheaper than my company's generous code by $1000.

30 day rental with Bombardier Code: $692 for Intermediate or $713 for Full Size
30 day rental with company code: $899 for Intermediate or $922 for Full Size.

Unreal.

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!
Nobody is going to let you use the Bombardier code without showing employee ID.

Tried it.

Are all of these codes Bombardier, Delloyd codes or Aerospace? I need good codes for rental at RSW,Ft. Myers, Fl. Airport - Dec'18 that doesn't require ID at counter for Full-sized car.

I found this interesting anomaly so I thought I would pass it on. I am renting a car at SFO for 4 days and used Costco travel to search for prices. Since I was doing a quick price check I put in the days of travel but used the default of noon for the pickup and dropoff times. The result was that Avis was the lowest price with about $220 for a fullsize car. So I was going to book it and since my flight arrives at 12:30 pm I changed the pickup and dropoff times to 1 pm. Much to my surprise the price jumped to $350 for Avis and they were not even close to the lowest price on Costco travel. Initially I thought I had just entered something wrong the first time so I went back and changed the time back to noon with the same days. Viola the price dropped back to about $220. So being an engineer I decided to try 12:30 pm with the result of $220 again. So how about 2 pm, back to $350.
So I don't know how to explain this but it seems odd that a half hour pickup/dropoff time change would result in $130 increase in rental price.

What if I book using the Bombardier or Delloite codes and have Avis preffered and directly go to the car?
The payment gets taken from my card at the end.

I sometimes see this around certain days of the week. Like booking at 12:30 on a Thursday often gets one in to a weekend rate, vs. a weekday pricing. Or, if I return a car by 12:00 on Tuesday, same thing can apply, weekend pricing vs. weekday. Assuming one had a car over a Saturday night. There's no real way to tell how to game the system better other than trial and error (would be a nice little program to run by the way if one could get enough pricing detail.

One thing I've thought of:

Many companies do not print the company name on employee badges/ID's. Amazon for one did not because it was a safety thing that if you lost it and then someone picks it up they could access a building.

My logic is, what would be the case if I should up to AVIS with the Bombardier code and show a random ID with my picture and name that doesn't have a company name? What they gonna do? Ask for a letter?

Hello,
I scrolled through the last couple years of posts, figure anything prior to that will be obsolete but still wrote down a few to try just in case from the sticky. I have a quick stop over this weekend in YYZ and though I have some useful AWDs sometimes there's a good weekend coupon to combo with and that's what is harder to find! Is there any useful coupon codes that someone has on hand? MUGA/MUWA/TUWA etc that I could try here.
Much appreciated

I just got quoted for Honolulu with this AWD and got a huge discount (40% off) - my question is, i'm a UK resident - would there be an issue do you guys think? Or do they not really care?

Personally I was never asked for it, but I did have an Amazon work email tagged to it. No one ever seem bothered by it.

Do note, I believe it MIGHT include CDW. If it does, do NOT accept it.
