Coupon code A972200?
 

I once used this code last year in Toronto and saved so much money but I was totally unaware of what I was doing. I simply got it online and used it. The man at the counter did ask me what coropration I worked for and I gave him the name of the company that I actually do work for but I think that he did not much care about the coupon rules and he just wanted to rent a car during the slow season ( dead winter Toronto). Now I just found out that this coupon is tied to a specific company. Can anyone tell me which company that is? Ok and lastly I might have goofed up I called Avis and asked them some questions about crossing the border ect and then lastly I asked the rep what info I needed to bring with me in order to use my corporate discount. He looked at my reservation and then said ok just bring any info that says that you work for " unintelligible sound". Then suspiciously he asked me, " thats the company you work for right ( unintelligible)". The company name that he gave sounded like Zurich or something but I have seen other people say that it is the Farmers insurance code. I saved like 100 dollars with this code. What should I do? I made a reservation for next week at BUF using this code. Any help is appreciated thanks

I simply put the code into google and got lots of hits. Some reference Farmers' Insurance (here) & here. I have heard it credited to Deloitte. The code appears in lots of places on the web not just FT.

Zurich was founded in 1872 as subsidiary of the Schweiz Marine Insurance Company under the name Versicherung Verein (Insurance Club). The Company changed its name to Zurich Marine and Accident Insurance in 1875 and to Zurich General Accident and Liability Insurance in 1894. In 1982 the Company acquired Altstadt Compagnie d'Assurances SA in Switzerland. In 1998 the Company acquired British American Financial Services, a business owned by BAT Industries comprising Eagle Star (acquired in 1984), Allied Dunbar (acquired in 1985) and the Farmers Group, Inc. (acquired in 1988), for $18.6 billion.

In 2000 the structure of business, which had previously involved dual holding companies (Allied Zurich plc in the UK and Zurich Allied AG in Switzerland), was unified to form one holding company - Zurich Financial Services

thank you so much I think I will just play it safe and say that I work for Farmers and if they ask for proof I will just take my chances and say that i left it at home but thanks at least now I have confidence that I know what freaking company to say that I freaking even work for. I would have never figured that out !!

A972200
 

Be careful when booking with this code - many times you will get limited free miles so if you're doing a lot of driving you need to calculate the savings plus the $0.XX per mile extra charge.

I doubt that you will ever be asked at the rental counter. Are you Avis Preferred? How often do you rent?

This is correct. I have used the A972200 code for the last dozen or so rentals, in Oakland, San Jose, Boston, San Diego, Chicago, Milwaukee.

Each time, its saved me between 35% to 45% on my rental. A huge savings I've yet to be able to match with any other code.

It has always been limited to 125 miles included, per day. So for my typical 2 day rentals, I get a total of 250 miles, after which the per mile charge varies but is pretty high. So anyone who is doing extensive driving with the rental should stay away from this code. But if you're doing less than 125 miles/day... heck yea this code rocks!

I've yet to be asked a single time what company I work for, or any question related to the code.

I would say that within mainland North America (plus Hawaii), the average renter will not be asked for proof of employment (or affiliation) for 99% of AWD numbers.

K444404 is one notable exception where you will probably run into a problem, maybe 50-60% of the time from what I surmise. I checked, and Avis corporate says specifically that K444404 is being policed, and is on a "NO NO LIST." Since that code has been so overused by people not entitled to it, using the K444404 code may get you a call from Avis corporate security, and therefore might get your rental re-rated, after the fact, as if you had no AWD code at all.

Outside of North America, Caribbean Islands, and in Europe are a different story, they are much more attentive in those rental locations. I can't give you an opinion (no experience) about using codes for rentals in Africa, Australia, and Asia.

Legal recourse?

If I rent in the US & wreck a car, they can find me pretty easily. If someone from overseas does this and skips the country for home, it could be quite a bit more difficult to go after them for damages.

Florida Code- A113400
 

I just recently booked with Avis and they originally quoted me at $335 for a 3 day rental one-way from NYC to Ithaca. After putting in the AWD # A113400 my new quote is only $85.40 with unlimited miles! I called Avis' toll free number and they didn't have any information or details about the number, they just said you qualify if you have a job in the state of Florida, but the lady seemed kinda sketchy and didn't really seem like she was sure. I asked her if this price will be guaranteed and she said she did not know. Anyways, Has anyone used this code? Do you have to be an employer for a certain company to use it or can any Fl employee use it? Thanks in advance :cool:

This code is not for an employee IN The State of Florida, it is for an employee OF The State of Florida! Meaning if you are not a government employee, you do not qualify, but most of the time it will be no questions asked.

Yea, I actually just found that out by calling Florida's Avis branch. They said that you must have proof as you pay and they will 100% check since it's such a huge discount. Crap!

How do they do that if you're preferred? Do you get sent inside when returning the car?

It has been known to happen! However, I would consider this to be a problem if you are renting IN Florida, and not a problem if you are renting OUTSIDE of Florida. I would expect that rental agents outside of Florida TYPICALLY would not have knowledge of what this code is for.

I guess this issue needs another bump. NEVER call reservations for any travel company when considering the use of a discount code. Never. Ever. Not just Avis, but any travel vendor.

If anyone has a question about a code, post it here - and if it's not answered, use the code at your own risk and make a back-up reservation elsewhere just in case.

I would be leery of using those because of the reasons you stated regarding the USAA insurance. As for the employee rate, in the past (when I was an employee) we had to have a letter at the point of rental. Though some places don't check, those are few and far between in my experience. The Priceline discount number has worked for me (recently saved me $60 in FL- yay! Thanks to the person who posted)

HUGE +1 (bolding and color emphasis MINE)

Basically, calling rez to ask what a discount code is for is like saying to them, "get ready, be on warning, I am thinking of stealing from you!"

Delta/Avis Bonus Miles Coupon
 

Hello All:
Does anyone know of a new Delta/AVIS Bonus Coupon that is good until June 30, 2010 or later? Thanks.

Deals from July 1st
 

I noticed that all the deals posted at avis.com are only valid until June 30.

I am looking to rent Jul 2-6. Do you know when they might post deals valid in that period? I basically want a Last Minute Deal or a Free Weekend day coupon.

One way Avis rental end of July/August
 

I'm traveling to YVR at the end of July or beginning of August and thinking of renting one way to YEG or closest drop off taking perhaps a week. Other than the standard promos you find on Avis website is there any AWD's that I may find useful?
Cheers

AWD #G417900 is rumored to be good for one way rentals, and you might also try A686200 (Priceline), which is also rumored to be good for one ways. However, I am not sure whether either of these will be good for Canadian rentals.

For summer rentals $-off, %-off, and free-day coupons are less abundant than other times of the year. Don't know if you care about miles promos but there are several Avis bonus promos running past June 30. You can find them list in post #1 of Q2 2010 Car Rental Bonus Promos!.

I have been getting some $ relief by using autoslash.com which is a recent new arrival on the car rental booking scene run by a fellow FlyerTalker. This site recently beat the Budget COSTCO code by about $20 for a 6-day rental in DEN and a little bit more for another 6-day in CMH.

Wish I had a free weekend day promo code to share with you but I'm tapped out at the moment.

Thanks USirritated, I'll give them a try and see what happens.:)

ok Thanks. I have a National reservation at $200 for 4 days. Will see if there is a last minute deal or something at Avis later.

Thanks for the link to the promos, its very useful to get all the info.

Discount code in Israel
 

I booked an Avis already in Israel for 2 days. Are there any codes I can give to them when I pick it up to collect miles or discounts? I was in a rush when I booked them and didn't do my proper research.

http://www.avis.co.uk/OfferView.aspx...6-3d596374122f

Avis UK is offering 10% off. I checked a few rates and they take 10% off on all.

C356672
 

People, you can use Avis discount code AWD # C356672. It's been posted everywhere on the Internet and used by almost everyone. It provides good discount and can be used with coupon. Get unlimited miles and saved $100.

Do you know what C356672 is for? I know it is an AWD number, but is it a corporate AWD number? Or maybe it's an association AWD number? Or maybe it's a government AWD number?

If you don't know what it's for, it could be an embarrassing or problematical situation, don't you think?

You can, and should, call reservations ahead of time, to input whatever AWD number and whatever coupon you have, because if you do it in person, the rental agent might ask you what it's for, especially in Israel or outside North America, where they tend to stickler's about details, IME, although YMMV of course.

Yes good in Canada and still one of the most reliable codes out there in my opinion. G417900 gets excellent rates, unlimited mileage, and never a hassle.

Cyprus AWD discount codes...
 

Hello everybody,

i'm looking for AWD for Cyprus for September.
I'm tried a lot of codes, but a lot of them is not working.

Is it possible to get some good (working) codes with nice discount for Cyprus?
Please give me some information..

Thanks a lot,
Kris

There are many AWD numbers which are either country specific (meaning only work in one, or maybe two countries, such as US & Canada), or country exclusive (meaning works in many countries, but is specifically blocked for one or more countries. The same can be true for coupons too.

Howdy. I am going to Hawaii in July and need rental for 7 days. I have been fiddlin around and on FatWallet found a code: A679100 which resulted in a $200 a/i price for intermediate car for a week. Deal! The FatWallet code said it was Hawaii Bar Association. Should I file this under too good to be true? I also see that www.discounthawaiicarrental.com has same vehicle for about $20 more. They seem to be reputable from what I have found online. Anyone have any input on either of these codes? I have a confimred reservation with Enterprise for $225 for Intermediate and I like Enterprise due to allowance of spouse as driver for no fee, but thanks to FT I found Avis/Budget allow the same.

Also, due to length of rental the coupon MUAA046 would give me 1750 AA miles. Do they add the .75/day for this at the rental counter? I don't mind using this coupon instead of $ coupon as almost all $ coupons are not eligible in Hawaii.

AWD's valid in South America?
 

Hi Folks,

I will be renting for one month in South America (Bolvia), and won't be driving long miles. Most (all) of the recently-posted codes here don't seem to be valid down there. Anyone have any tips for finding good discounts?

thanks!

You may want to check into the possibility of hiring a car and driver, instead of renting a car. In some Latin American countries, it is about the same price, or it is cheaper to hire a car and driver than it is to rent a car.

I just checked it for a one way, three day rental in Spain next month. It gave me the best rate I've found so far. And, yes, while it comes with only 750 kms included, since that's more than the amount I plan to drive, it should work just fine. As a bonus, it also includes free CDW.

sorry，there is a costco rate？？

this code is nice，I am just wondering what company is that？can i use it
？

It's Farmer's Insurance, I believe. And, from what I can tell, it's ok to use it.

actually，i am using farmers insurance, then it will be absolutely for me to use this rate....

i am just surprisingly to found so many corporate rates....costco. farmers insurance and so on,....
