I've booked a National Car rental using my corporate code, and I was told both by my corporate liaison and by National that I can decline CDW when I sign the rental agreement. Not sure if it's different with Avis.

Are they less likely to check for Id with Corporate AWDs outside of the US? Sardinia/ Milan in particular? I know the supply /demand issue isn’t there like in The US

Let.us know how it works out without a correct ID.

No, 26 rentals in the past year, and not been asked even when I've had to go to the counter (which has happened quite a few times). Only been to larger airport locations within the US recently though.

It's definitely very much alive and kicking: https://www.avis.ie/LatestOffers/Uni...simon-shopping
Reserved a week in a convertible Mustang for 555 Euros picking up at SAN in Oct. including all insurance - not bad at all, and completely legit.
Remember that you will need to use one of the European Avis country sites (avis.ie, avis.fr, avis.ch, avis.it) for bookings to take advantage of the great rates.


AWD H811101

THE CURRENT PRICES FOR RENTAL CARS IS ROBBERY AT ITS FINEST. Sorry - supply & demand = fleecing all of us especially ones who got stimulus $$$.

stay tuned.

Btw, I think you are confusing the airlines with the car rental companies. The airlines got almost $50B in stimulus packages. Do you know how much the car rental companies got? Zero (other than PPP/SBA loans that all businesses could apply for).

Hello all, I will be traveling to Barcelona from Miami and need to rent a car for three weeks. Normally, I use the AAA South code for Hertz and it is giving me good rates (like 350-450 for three weeks rental) but not this time. I do have a code that knocks the cost by 60% with AVIS and I have used it recently to a trip to Providence airport PVD and no questions asked. How tight are they at the BCN Barcelona airport? I can also get to other airports like CDG (Paris) or LYS (Lyon) etc. in France. Fare is about the same but MIA-BCN is the cheapest nearly all the time. If there is a risk free code, I will take it. Thanks!

I just used a company AWD code in BOS that was a “grey” argument at best if my company ID were checked, but nothing when I went up to to the preferred desk. Maybe since it was 10PM and they just didn’t care had something to do with it. Avis did send around 8 emails prior to arrival with strong language though.

I’m thankful it played out that way, since the cheapest code I DO qualify for on my backup, Hertz, was more than twice the price.

Cheapest AWD + Discount Coupon for Calgary Airport
 

Hi guys, I am sorry if this is an unreasonable request. I have an upcoming rental booking of 4 days (Thursday to Monday) at Calgary airport and wanted to know if anyone can help me with the best AWD + Discount Code. I have tried several combinations from codes here and for whatever reason the prices are seems to be very high. Sorry for the trouble guys.

I had a friend who got the same e-mail about having to show his ID for using a code. He had his business card ready and never got asked about it.

A few questions
1) has anyone actually been asked to show their business card etc? From this thread it seems a nobody small percentage have
2) Does anyone have specific experience about not being covered by insurance when using a code? What I am seeing is a lot doom and gloom with nothing to back it up.

I have an upcoming rental at a counter only location. So in case they ask for ID and I deny having one, then can I cancel there right away or is there a chance I get hit with any no-show fees for not picking up the reservation?

Update: Got asked for ID for the code. I had none, so canceled reservation and walked out. I did try to talk through it but the agent said it is a company wide policy since March of this year to check IDs for corporate codes. Agent also said you could avoid it at airport locations since they allow you to bypass the counter but at locations like their's they have to verify and confirm that ID has been checked before approving the reservation rate.

Anyone familiar with # D488900 ? Can't seem to find anything on google, but I'm pretty certain it was added to my Avis account through my employer. It doesn't add any coverage as far as I can tell, but does offer a discount on some coverage and extras. The reason I'm curious is it's giving me an incredible discount on both one-ways and round-trip although one-ways seem to have a milage fee of .30/mile. I plan to use it for a personal one-day one-way rental, so I thought I'd double check here just to see if anyone has info on it.

I also saw an earlier post about D468800. I believe this is one of the default Avis codes, although it could have also been added by my employer, as it's always popped up on my account. It doesn't provide much of a discount.

Avis is asking me for a "Rate Code" to go with D488900 or remove the AWD. Any idea?
