Does anyone have a coupon with a good rate for a one week rental of a full size car or an SUV to be picked up at the Philadelphia airport in mid June? The Avis websie is showing a cost of approximately $450 for a one week rate. I'm hoping to get a better price than this. A lower price would be better to me than bonus airline miles but I will take what I can get! Thanks in advance for any help.

I tried L093590 for 7 days in PHL starting 6/15.
Full size = $120
Premium = $140
SUV = $332

Good luck.

I'm curious to get some input on opinions about rental insurance. For years I've used my favorite code #L093590 which has free LDW with a $3k cap, and also gives me a consistantly good rate without going crazy checking 10 different codes. But lately I've been buying the LDW from Avis from $10 - $15 per day.
I've had a couple co-workers involved in accidents lately with rental cars and I have re-thought the issue:
a) My absolute maximum liability with #L093590 is only $3K. But do I want to put in a claim with my auto insurer for $3K and risk a possible rate increase on
all 3 cars on my policy? Probably not. So I'd have to pay it out of pocket.
b) I consider the free credit card (Amex) insurance a waste as they will not act as a primary insurer if you have other coverage (auto policy).
c) I've found that the LDW insurance is very negotiable at almost all Avis counters. I'm sure it is a very high profit product and it seems the agents are empowered to discount the insurance greatly.
d) I've spoken to the claims dept. at Avis and was told that if you have an accident with their vehicle, and you have purchased LDW, it is pretty much a
"hands off, no questions asked" procedure, unless there was blatant negligence or issues (Drunk driving, etc) involved. Complete the 5 minute accident report and be on your way with a replacement vehicle.

So I'm thinking......I get a good discount with my code....is it worth it for an extra $40-$50 bucks per rental (average 3 - 4 days) to know that if I smash up an Avis car, I can just leave their wreck where it is, and go get another car at the closest airport? No hassle, no claims, no stress. I'm hearing more and more about rental car accidents for some reason and I'm thinking that it may be worth it. Even though for years I've been in the group that considered
LDW to be a total ripoff.

Opinions?

It's probably a matter of exposure. You rent a lot of vehicles, so there is quite a bit of exposure. On the other hand, over time the extra $40 or $50 adds up. So you could just pay the $3000 out of personal funds if it happens rather than making a claim on your own policy, reasoning that over the years you will have saved that amount by avoiding the $40 or $50 with each rental. Or, your own policy may be generous with rate increases, because the amount paid out is relatively small...$3000 vs. $150,000.

Does anyone have a good discount for Hawaii, I’m looking for a car, just a car, but it comes to about 240$ a week for a compact.
I’ve tried a bunch of codes, but nothing really brings it down.

Thanks for the tip from experience

The Starwood code (K860600) used to be a good one for HI, but I haven't used it in eons.

It appears to be some kind of generic discount for events that have a flight discount through American Airlines ranging from OB/Gyn conferences to weddings. Anyone think I'll have to tell them the specific event I'm in town for?

Whoa, this dropped my rate for an intermediate in PDX from $245 to $77 (seventy-seven!).

This doesn't look like an employee code....can anyone cite experience and/or success with this?

Dangit, I tried to reserve a car, but when I selected a car, it re-priced it and put up a screen with higher prices.

A GIS showed D005150 is the National Charter Schools Conference number (was in ABQ in April 07).

It just took $100 off my rate at OAK...I will have a backup res elsewhere just in case, but it's worth trying out.

im 23, is there any codes that knock off the underage fee associated with rentals???? or what about a coupon code that allows unlimited miles???

im making a one way trip from CLE to LAX and the lowest ive found is 298.94 with awd C031529 but with no miles, and before the 25$ a day charge. can someone please help me out with an underage code or unlimited mileage coupon code. please.

FLL April 21-28
A113400 - $166 Full Size
C031529 - $150 Full Size

MCO April 21-28
A113400 - $209 Full Size
C031529 - $160 Full Size

C031529 no longer works :(

Was just about to post my experience with J868801. Used it on a 3-day rental out in California. We ended up returning to an airport location (we picked up in the city and intended to return there) without any additional charges. In fact, at the dropoff, as the agent was looking at the rate terms she mumbled something to the effect of "Wow, yeah it just says you have to return it in the same state.....this is a great rate, I've never seen it before." But she didn't question. I just smiled :)

So, out of curiousity, I just made up a one-way itinerary in CA and it took the rate from $218 down to $75!!!

SUMMARY: J868801 could be a gem for one-way rentals, but as always, YMMV.
