Legan: You do want to book via avis.com. Most the time the prices on .co.uk or .de are way more expensive.
Usually Opel Astra is the smallest automatic car.

I think the rates in the UK always include insurance, which would explain the higher prices. If you need the insurance, it might be cheaper to do it on the .uk or .de site instead of adding insurance to the .com site.

I use this Zurich Insurance Company rate all the time for the $33/day rate everywhere. Just be aware that you get zero ff miles with this code. I set up two wizard profiles, each with a different credit card to take advantage of ff mileage offers on one, $33 rate on the other. BTW, welcome to FT.

Do they require you show ID for this codel?

Im going to Dominican as well. Did this work for you?

Anyone know the best code for Australia?? I've done a search but cannot find anything newer. Do the codes that cover LDW, work for Australia??

The best rate I am getting in Australia is using code P382630 engineers Australia, anyone from US use this code?? I am worried using this as they will know we are from US

Did anyone ever find the source of G930700. I just made a reservation and got a one way rental from IN to FL for a minivan for $48.50 base rate per day. The Citi Leisure code came in close behind it for rates also, so I may modify since I know the source and others have used it.

Code worked best!
 

I tried several codes listed and this one got me a rate at the OAK airport for less than half price of any other quote...I got ~$32 a day for a Friday/Saturday in April.

Thanks!

back-up reservation
 

Can someone explain how to make a back-up reservation when using doubtful codes without risking credit card charges of the unused reservation?

In general, most rental car companies do not charge you unless you actually rent the car. With a back-up reservation (at another company), if you have a problem because of a questionable code, you simply leave the rental company and go to your alternate rental car company

Do you know which companies charge and which do not?

I've used Avis, Hertz, and National as back-ups. However, just check before confirming a reservation since, occasionally, the rate will be pre-paid.

Note: If you book through a third-party site, there is a far greater likelyhood that your reservation will be non-cancellable than if you book directly through the rental car company's site

Book a second rez with a different car rental company. Most car rentals do not require cc at time of booking (Avis does not).

By doing this you have control over what you are going to pay vs having Avis tell you the rate you have booked is not valid and they then turn around and charge you the 'rack' rate when you're standing dumbfounded at the counter.

If the rate is cancellable, does it mean that I need to actually cancel the back-up reservation in order to avoid any charges?

Do you contact the rental company to cancel it, or just leave it as is?

It's generally considered good etiquette to cancel the reservation you're not going to use. You can just do this by calling the company's 1-800 number (jot it down before you go). That way if the location is running desperately low on cars, they're not holding one for you that you'll never pick up.

Dollar is the only one that comes to mind, but then again I hardly ever rent from anyone but National and Hertz (and (rarely) Avis).

I also researched the Florida Visitors Bureau but never did come up with any explanation of what it is.

Picked up an AVIS car the other day at MCO, using J868801. I am AVIS Preferred and did the paperwork directly at the Preferred desk inside the garage. No questions asked, and I was quickly on my way.

A972200 Farmers Insurance Code
 

I'd like to use the Farmer's Insurance A972200 code, but I need to make sure there isn't any kind of requirement (ID, membership, etc). This res will be for the wife and I'm sure she'd crack under pressure if there were any red flags (I'm a better BS artist). BTW...this code beat the Amateur Sports code by about $10/day.

Who has used this code before?

Help anyone? Thanks!

any current Starwood (SPG) coupons?
 

I tried using coupons MUHA008 and UUHA013 but were told that they both expired on 12/31/08. Are there any current coupons for maximizing SPG points for a 3 day rental?

Looking for coupons only, not AWD discounts.

Thanks.

new avis website, all my fill in fields are GONE! well, it makes it easier to try multiple AWD codes.

Actually, I think it's easier. Just choose one code to try first, then when you get to the page where you choose your car type, at the top, you can select "try another AWD".

that is what I meant to say, I have not an idea why I would say NOT makes it easier. ...?

I tried Z652297 and it gave me a great rate

Wow!
 

This seems to be quite the amazing resource. Really glad I stumbled upon it!

I'm planning on being in Orlando the second week in March and a few of these codes have done wonders for the prices that are getting spit back, but I still have some questions I hope you can address.

First -Will I have an issue combining coupon codes, AWD codes, AND a $100 off certificate?

Second - I'm under 25, can I expect to be profiled when using some of these codes? Does anyone have recent experience at MCO?

Thanks for the help and I hope to be able to contribute to this forum in the future.

Let me know what you were able to find out re this code? It does give a great rate.

Do you know if there is a coupon necessary with this rate?

this is just the awd number u could use any coupon with it

Thanks.
Most of these discount codes do not ofer unlimited miles. Does anyone have a tried and true discount codes that does??

G417900 It's been on this board for years. Very good rates, unlimited miles, never an I.D. hassle, and LDW included. You may be able to do a few dollars better if you try every code, but to me the hassle is not worth it.

AVIS Coupon Codes
 

You can get Avis coupon codes simply by calling Avis customer service with your rental parameters and asking for one that fits your rental.

MUWA198 is $30 off, mid-size or bigger, 5-20 days.

How do we know if the codes work? I have entered several and some of them make the price double or even triple!! One went from $174 up to $727 after I entered the code.

Best AWD Codes for NYC?
 

I haven't been able to do any better than D005297 and J868801 in NYC. Has anyone else found better codes for the city?

dac

I plan to rent a car from Avis, so came here to see what coupons are available. I've found such good info on Flyertalk for all travel related info.

When you reserve a car online, at what point in the process do you get the opportunity to ender the G417900 code? This will be a great help. Does it
require you to have a higher priced rental, to be able to apply this code?

I'm sorry if this has been answered before, but this is a long thread with a lot of reading. lol

thanks in advance

Airport : FLL
Rental length : One week or one week + one day.

I'm looking to rent a convertible w/unlimited mileage --- is the best course of action to flat out reserve a convertible (if so, any good coupon codes you all can suggest?) or to reserve a full-size and ask for the upgrade/upsell at the counter?

You'll be hard pressed to upgrade into a convertible unless you're a President's Club member or Chairman. Is a First member, I always booked full size and with an 'upgrade coupon' or sweet talk, I was never able to get a convertible. YMMV, but I'd suggest reserving one. Or you could book a full-size and ask for one. If they don't do it, walk away to your back-up reservation (at Hertz or somewhere else).

1. You shouldn't have any issues with an AWD and a certificate. I've never had trouble using both.

2. If you're under 25, you'll be hit with a fee unless you have a corporate code that covers those < 25. Good luck and check your message box.

I've tried to book using this code, but I don't see the LDW charge being dropped, is still is an option to be checked. What am I doing wrong? I'm not a President's Club member or any other program they have. Is this required, to get get these discounts?

You won't see all the AWD contract benefits listed on the reservation. It's on the contract, or you can verify when you pickup car. Nothing required to use this code.

Thanks. This is very helpful for now and the future. It applies to all sized cars, correct?
