Latest data point: according to Glasgow Avis, the name associated with this code is not Finmeccanica contrary to previous posts on this thread and they insist on sighting corporate credit card or business card.

AWD is for Leonardo which used to be Finnmeccanica apparently

I should also mention that the company Glasgow said was associated with this AWD also wasn’t Leonardo - the name quoted was “Ital .... spa” - can’t remember the middle word but it definitely wasn’t Leonardo. |

What's the lowest one-way mileage charge AWD you've found?
The lowest I have is $0.20/mile, most are $0.25/mile. I tried searching the thread for 15 minutes and haven't found a better one. |

2 weeks rental from Luton airport, no questions asked, class C booked, car received Renault Capture disel manual, rate extremely cheap like 70 gbp per 14 days plus 12 gbp one way fee as returned at city station. At the invoice it says: rate 9J FINMECCANICA Non Discountable Rate, whatever that means 2 weeks rental from Milton Keynes city station, no questions asked, just manager was amused how good rate it is, class K booked, Audi A5 petrol automatic received, driving that great car now, again rate is crazy 115 gbp per 14 days today i popped in at the station to add a second driver and same manager start asking questions like where i got that code, do i work for the company Leonardo/Finmechanica etc. Told her i used to work as a contractor, that is how i got the code but not doing a contract at the moment and not directly employed by them. Perhaps she was not convinced and told me i can continue with current rental and they honor the rate, but can't use that code for future bookings unless i have evidence i work for them. In a way i was asking for this as i got a great rate i should have stayed low and not showing to the branch again to get extra service. to summarize you can get away with it but be prepared to prove affiliation with a company or have plan B reservation elsewhere. |

I just used AWD W222853 which is a valid code from AVIS for p/u in YYC in July. Got an intermediate SUV for $275 Cdn - about $210US Obscenely low rate for Stampede time. I don't know how I got it so low when other rates are higher, but I printed it off and I have the confirmation, so I imagine they have to honour it. I had a problem at first - it showed that price and when I submitted the reservation, suddenly it changed to over $1k! It turns out, my saved code kept asking for my member number and it wouldn't clear even though I used the above code. I deleted my normal code I use for USAA and it worked very well. It says it is a Weekend rate from Friday thru Monday, but mine is a week long rental.

last week class J booked in Luton airport, class K received, Mercedes C class petrol automatic, 84 gbp per 8 days the day before the rental starts someone called from Avis and asked about the code, what company it is related to, how am i related to that company etc. Again asked to name the company at the counter when collected the car, on a brighter side even get an upgrade. Now bad news, i try to book the next rental and it seems the code does not give such a favorable rate anymore, rate almost the same as without any code, perhaps Avis fixed this. |

Hi all, it looks the excellent Citigroup Leisure Travel AWD of A078400 which was an excellent AWD for one-way rentals now does not include unlimited miles :(
|
Hi all,
Any suggestions for a one-way rental from NYC to BOS (pickup and drop-off both anywhere in the city) for a 19 year old, last week of august/first week of september? I am having some trouble bringing the cost below $250-300 a day. |
Looking for a good one-way rental code with unlimited miles. I was using the Citigroup Leisure Travel AWD but that no longer works.

I ended up not using a AWD code and got a 2 week rental in Florence for £212 (group E - Estate car). I haven't seen it cheaper, even with some of the AWD codes posted here! The website did say "discount applied", not sure what discount that was. Maybe with this low £, prices have come down? Who knows. Can't complain!
