Considering you didnt say which airport you're arriving at and/or returning the car to, I just did a quick check on Avis.com based out of PHL using the promo code posted previously with your dates.

For the dates you've mentioned plus daily insurance the total i've got is 1102.65 USD total including taxes; a savings of over $700 from booking through Orbitz.

Don't quote me on this, but you can simply not tell them about the additional driver if you want to save the money. Only your conscious that is effected provided the other driver doesn't get in an accident. There's always options!!

Sorry, it's MDT.

Wow, nice, what code is that using? By the way, if that is without the underage fee, consider they would add another approx $702USD for my additional driver who is 2 months short of being 25 at the time of the rental :(

Hehe, well given it's capped at $65USD it's not a big concern. The base/underage/insurance is the huge cost.

TravelGuard is a third party source for car rental insurance. I'd be interested whether they provide a reasonable quote. Good luck!

Thanks!
 

Thanks SFO777 ! ;)

I also used the A972200 to book a one-way local edition to SFO for $31 (intermediate car).

Great deal! ^

Thanks, used A113400 for a 1 way rental from LAX to LAS, $43 including tax for a compact vehicle, also used coupon code MUAA022 to get 1000 AA miles.

Thanks

I'm having similar issue, anyone know some good underage corporate account codes?

You could try Hertz's Underage Coupon, assuming it gets renewed for your time period, or free Hertz Gold Family: hertz.com/goldfamily

What code is that? Apologies if I'm missing something, I just can't find the codes people are talking about unless someone posts it.

Hertz's website lists it under Featured Offers. The current number for the Underage Coupon is PC 144314. This is listed as expiring on Dec 31, although it was renewed in the past, sometimes with a different number.

Avis underage driver discount code K250544. This appears to be valid through at least 2007. Might still work!

I tried it on the Avis site, says it's not a valid coupon..

codes for Panama
 

Hi Folks,

Very few/none of these codes seem to work for a 3-day rental in Panama. Any idea of where I might look for valid codes?

Thanks!

Thanks, but i ike using avis, generally much cheaper, any ideas for avis for the underage?

Avis is generally not so good for the retail underage renter. Granted, there are a few corporate or association contract codes that remove the underage fee, but from what I've seen at least, significantly less than with Hertz, National, and Enterprise.

Before Hertz offered the Underage Coupon and free Gold Family, many Avis and Budget locations didn't have an underage fee- they flat out rejected the underage business. Now they have a $35/day underage fee, and even admitted they still don't really want this business.

Enterprise and Alamo were at the time more popular for the retail underage set, if primarily for their transparency. Yes, you would pay the normal undiscounted $75/day at ORD, for instance, and yes, you would pay the $25/day (at the time) taxable underage fee, for a very expensive one-day economy car rental, but you could add the underage fee at time of booking, rather than at the counter, and know what your final total price would be. Hertz at the time had an underage fee of $27/day, added at the counter, but the main advantage for underage renters was that often Hertz was the best value and convenient for one-ways.

Could of course doesn't mean would. At that time many potential retail underage customers, myself included, assessed the other transportation options available at those prices and walked away.

With Hertz's coupon, it changes everything. Avis or Enterprise may have been nominally cheaper had I been 25, but Hertz will come out cheaper since I'm not.

A177232, listed as USAA or citifinancial? Which one is it, has anyone used it lately? Seems to offer some nice discounts.

Anyone know of good AWD for use in Florida?

Delete, duplicate

To whom does W550714 belongs to?

You have recently promoted this AWD here, here, here, here, here, here, and here!

I have an Avis AWD for my corp account. I get free rental days based on total number of rentals. If my AWD is used by anyone, their rental shows up on my quarterly rental report and I get credit for that rental towards my free days.

I, however, don't give out my number. I assume that if someone used my AWD number and got into an accident, I could end up being named on any resulting "Action" as the rental was on my company acct, etc......

So, IMHO, the owner of this AWD may be benefiting from its resulting use by FT members.

I agree that someone who is on here promoting an unknown code and does not identify the company, is probably just looking for free rental day coupons on his little company account. We've seen this many times over the years. It's been my experience that the better codes on this board, are assigned to larger, high volume companies, that strip all the perks (free days, etc) out of their programs in exchange for the lowest possible rates. I have not seen any worthwhile new codes revealed on here in quite some time, but there are still some proven codes that always come through. My favorite is still
G417900, but there are others that work just as well, or better, in certain markets. My suggestion is to stick with the codes that have been on here for years and ignore the blind posts promoting unidentified AWD codes.

I put this in for IAH and got an amazing low rate for 3 day rental. Do they ask for any special IDs at the counter when one uses these codes?

any response? I am interested in this as well...have put all the codes in with no luck!
cheers

Any suggestion on Hawaii rental?
 

The A679100 Hawaii Bar Assn naturally produces the lowest rate, about $60 lower than the Citicorp Leisure Travel A074800.

Has anyone used A679100 was asked to produce proof?

Gosh, the rates at Big Island are astronomically high! Most other AWDs produce a $300+ weekly compact all in price tag!

Happy, have you tried pricing the rental using the IslandAir website? I've found very good car-rental rates there in the past, and there's no requirement of an IslandAir flight to take advantage of the car-rental rates.

No, I dont even know that. You are right about the very good prices going through the IslandAir site to book...

Are these rates for Hawaiian only, or good for visitors like us? The reason I ask is, there are always huge discounts for Hawaiians for hotels and cars but they have to show their IDs to get that kind of discounts.

Budget is a winner with the rates even lower than govt leisure bcd. Avis is acceptable but Hertz and National are high. I am able to get a $202xx all in with a compact, $50 lower than Avia, and over $100+ lower than Hertz and National.

I doubt I would find anything lower than Budget's. Enterprise has low rates in general without any discount code but their office closes 30 minutes earlier and there is no place on their website to input flight info! Their rates are still about 10% higher than Budget's using IslandAir's BCD.

A BIG THANK YOU to you guv1976, your knowledge in many areas of travel is very much appreciated!

The IslandAir rates are bookable by anyone; no restriction as to residence. But if you will be picking up the car before February 1, you might also try AWD H854900, which is posted on the Avis "Deals" page: it will get you a weekly rate on a compact at KOA for $159/week, plus taxes and fees, on some -- but not all -- dates in January. Not sure if that AWD code is stackable with any Avis coupons.

Our dates are Mar 7 to 14. I have the Budget rezzie in place right now but will continuously monitor any airline / hotel promotions to add the coupon code. The Budget rate is $132.90 before taxes and fee.

Sounds good. You might also check out the thread in the FT Hawaii forum on car rentals for some other tips.

Even cheaper this Friday.
$18 ($32ai) for one way SJC-SF Beach Street.

Italy
 

Anyone ever figure out what N711304 is from?

Really, really good rates with that . . . I think it might be worth a shot.

looking for a 1-week rental of the 4-door Jeep Wrangler for the end of Jan.
Using discounthawaiicarrental i was able to get $321 for the week ($428 all in). Are there any coupons that can be added to that? or other codes worth trying?
Also, it seems they have the same car at budget for about $20 cheaper. is there a reason to prefer avis for a few more $ than budget?
note, i will also need to add a safety seat for my son @ $65/week

Looking for best Minivan Rental:

Pick-Up Canton, Ohio 6-17-11 and Returning at the same location 6-28-11. Would need unlimited Miles.

Using the Avis Florida A113400 Code got me under 500.00 but that one is iffy whether they ask for something or not.

Anyone find anything lower from any chain?

has anyone used this code, any problems ?

It's very difficult to get a reasonable rate on a minivan these days. You can play around with all the codes here (and in the other car rental forums), but your best bet might be to reserve a cheaper car and negotiate at the counter!

Overall, Thrifty/Dollar seem to generally offer the cheapest rates -- usually with just the promos listed on their site (no codes) -- but they're still usually twice the price of a regular vehicle.

Not Panama, but the only code so far (after trying MANY!) for PLS in Turks and Caicos is K444404...and it seems like some people have had issues being charged more at the counter...so not sure if I am going to use it.

Yeah, its expensive. The Florida Code got me below 500.00 but if they ask for something I'm screwed.

weekend MInivan rental in LA
 

The best deal I am getting is with A113400 code .. 3 days ( fri - mon) is coming to $162 from BUR airport... anything cheaper would be nice :)

This worked well for OGG in July.

europe
 

anyone have any 1 way codes for Europe? Looking to go Paris to Brussels 4-22 return 4-25. Avis CSR quoted around $475 using K444404(found upthread - CSR said it was for Marquee Chairman's Club??). I think we will take train from Paris to Brugges then get the car as it is only $99 ai for the same days. Does not have to be Avis though if anyone has other suggestions.

TIA,
