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 have a friend who has a corporate CDP for Avis and I'm renting a car from Avis. Can I use his CDP code and rent the car? He will also be on the contract as an additional driver? Is this allowed? Can there be any insurance issues? Note that I already have my personal non owners insurance for liability, and Chase Sapphire to cover collision damage.

Alternatively, if the above could be a problem. Can he be the primary driver and pay by his Chase Sapphire card for collison damage (and me added as an additional driver). As far as liability insurance goes, will my personal policy still protect me or will his auto insurance policy be affected in case something goes wrong.

Are you authorized to use the CDP? If so, no issues. If not, you're risking all insurance/coverages being void as you'd be fraudulently renting.

Sounds like it's a personal rental, not business. Is he allowed to use the code for personal use? As for insurance, it depends on your policy. Please check the policy or talk with your provider and don't rely on guesses from folks on the internet. If the code includes liability and something happens with the vehicle, Avis/Budget will go that route for coverage first, which might or might not be what you want.

Any codes that have the coveted free or discounted one way charge for international locations?

Is it YMMV based on agent/location on asking for proof/verification for using a AWD code? Or is there strict rules on which one they ask for?

For example, Amazon employee code (D008400) gives a great discount but it asks for corporate email address when booking. Citigroup leisure code (A074800) does not ask for corporate email address but the rates are not so great (still better than anything else except Amazon D008400). Are they both equally risky asking for proof? Or is it safe to assume citigroup wont require id?

Thanks

I would not make any such assumption.

If you are a graduate of a U.S. college or university, have you checked to see whether your alma mater has car-rental contracts which alumni can use for leisure travel? I can usually get great rates from Avis, Budget, and Hertz on sedan rentals using my alma mater's leisure rate code. I do have an alumni email address with the alma mater's domain name, but I also bring a certified copy of my transcript along -- showing conferral of a degree -- when I rent, to prove my status as an alumnus if asked.

The rate codes which alumni can use tend to be limited to those from private colleges/universities.

Mine does not have Avis. And I specifically want Avis due to the ability to stack Amex offer

OK. But just make sure that Avis with your stacked offer yields a better deal than your alma mater rate without the Amex offer.

Amex offer with Amazon AWD is the best deal And that is the reason I posted about asking what the chances are for asking proof

If you have Amazon Prime you get Amazon Benefits. Very good rate plus 10% back in the form of a Amazon gift card. This is not an employee corp rate.

Do you have to be a prime member to get good rates? I tried with a non prime account (which still shows the 10% amazon gc offer) and the rates were no where close to the amazon employee corp awd rates :/

It was already populated when I made a booking but the price was crazy good. I would like to believe that its some sort of marketing code since I didnt enter it myself but I also dont want to risk any disputes.
Can anyone help?

thank you!
Hi, did you ever find out what this code was for? I recieved the same code on a rental automatically when I was intending to use Amazon Benefits for the Prime Day deal. This is the only reference to this discount I could find online.

In the GDS Avis notes it as AARP.
The rate is OK, but twice the price of some corporate rates.
