Best rate for me in OGG in February was with Hawaiian Air's K816401. It's a few dollars lower than the Bar Association.

Unless something has recently changed, it has always been extremely expensive to rent a car in one European country and return it to another. Basically, it's un-doable except in extreme cases.

On the other hand, there's usually no drop charge returning in a different city in Europe as long as it's in the same country.

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

This worked well for OGG in July.


Just used the A679100 Hawaii Bar Assn and WOW what a savings, 50% off so I booked it. Do these guys ever ask for proof? I have to pretend to be a lawyer?:D

Check out Alamo. I booked from Amsterdam to Paris on a 1-way rental with Alamo because it was light years cheaper than anything I could find with the other rental car agencies. It's worth a look-see. I tried many codes garnered from FT and Alamo's rates with no code at all beat all.

This is exactly my experience: You can rent a car in one corner of France and return it in another far-flung corner of the same country with no / minimal one-way fee, but cross a border and the drop-off fees are prohibitive.

Cross-border rentals in Europe are different than between US states because they're separate countries with their own import laws. It's not like a NC car in Atlanta, for instance, where nobody cares as long as the vehicle is on rent most of the time.

Hertz-transfer.eu has a list of cars that need to be repatriated. FT members in the Hertz forum have said using it gives the regular rate without the usual separate drop fee.

Germany Coupons or discount codes? Pick up Munich
 

Looking to rent in Germany, pick up Munich, drop off Frankfurt in September. Are there any coupons or codes that might offer lower rates? In Munich, I understand if we pick up in town vs. the airport, rates can be cheaper. Any recommendations on which location in in Munich to pick up?

Thanks!

I am looking at similar - except pick up / drop off in Munich. So far, for a 2-day rental with various codes, I am coming up with Thrifty being the cheapest, with Avis (NetJets) being a close second. PM me if you want the codes, I got them all here on FT though (but don't want to threadjack).

Picking up from the airport seems to incur a 20% service charge, which is steep, but worth it if you're doing FIFO, I suppose.

Don't do it, I got nailed at the end of my vacation for FULL price of vehicle. They relish in catching K444404 users at the END of your vacation. Use the local car rental agency everyone recommends on Tripadvisor forum for T/C for the best price.

What I have found
 

Booking week rental in MCO in June. Rack Rate for mini van was $710

A074800 Citicorp Liesure Travel: -$305.00
A515100 (don't know where it came from): -$325.00 (700 mile limit)

City of Atlanta Services, no id required. no paper coupons needed.

sometimes its the cheapest, sometimes its not..

Hi,

I need a code for a rental in Thailand (march, for 19 days)....

Could anyone help me please? Thanks.

Anybody try A515100? Need I any special documents for this AWD?

I noticed Hawaiian Air has good prices for HawaiianMiles members. It says it is free to enroll, but do I have to have acculated points or miles first?

Does this Avis location in Maui (OGG) actually have Ford Mustang convertibles?

I think thats ALL they have in Maui! Be careful, the police know these are rental cars and will pull you out of a pack of cars to give you a ticket for speeding. Whether you are or aren't.

code for Domincan Republic / latin Am
 

hello there,
would anyone have a discount code valid for :cool: Dominican Republic?
I need to rent a car for about a week, small SUV or something.
any help much appreciated ^

cheers

A074800

It says citi travel. Is this a vaild code for me to use?

I have driven Avis rental cars in five European countries, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain, and Italy. With the exception of Germany, all of my rentals were pick up in one location and drop off in another. There were only TWO cross border rentals, both were between Belgium and The Netherlands, and neither had one-way fees.

The rentals I had in Spain and Italy did not have punitive one-way fees. The highest one way fee that I have ever paid in Europe was €35, which was for Spain, pickup in Sevilla and drop off in Grenada, which are about 3 hours apart. I suspected that both were independently owned single locations, as opposed to the large company which owns many/most of the locations in Spain, but I do not know that for certain. I was Avis Select Preferred (what is now roughly equivalent to AvisFirst) at the time of all of my European rentals, as I had not yet attained Avis Chairman's Club, my present status, and I do not think that status had anything to do with the one-way fees (or lack thereof).

I have had Mustang Convertibles in both Maui and Kauai (both rentals took place in 2008). Avis had a selection of cars in both locations when I picked up my cars, but about half the cars on the lot in Kauai were Mustang Convertibles, and I was given an upgrade in Kauai at no charge, because it had been raining a lot for the last couple of weeks and no one wanted convertibles at that time. I also got a Mustang in Maui, but I don't remember whether I was given the upgrade or whether I requested it. I did not have any contact with the police while I had the Mustang Convertibles in either Kauai or Maui, for whatever it's worth.

I've used it many times with no questions asked. IIRC it's "Citi Corp Leisure Travel". Not sure what that means. But, hey, it works.

anyone have any 1 way codes from JFK to CVG My dates are 02/20-02/21

That Hertz transfer website is intriguing -- given that I know of no other practical way to rent in one European country and return to another -- but I suspect it would be difficult to use in practice. At least for Americans, who have to arrange their air transport to the continent in advance. Like if I flew into Spain and out of Germany, I'd have to get lucky to find a car in my arrival city that needed to be repatriated. Still, I'll remember this trick just in case I ever need it!

Did you receive a response to this? I would like to use it but don't want to run into problems? I am renting at GMC (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands).

Last month Avis and Hertz had a glut in the NY area, so you could have gotten this one-way for an incredibly good price. The glut seems to have resolved, because one-way out of the NY area with both companies is back at the $100+/day for an economy car.

I suggest checking all the options- companies, locations, including some nearby neighborhood stores in Long Island, etc.

Spain
 

A Code for Spain for May hire, anybody?

And UK in June?

Awd X133557
 

I just used AWD X133557 and was able to get an Intermediate SUV Ford Escape or similar for $230 for 1 week compared to $379.99 using another AWD code.

Hope this can help someone else get a great rate like this.

Been getting nabbed with FL state code
 

twice in the past 2 weeks at FLL, seems my account has now been blacklisted with a "check ID" flag. Is it possible to continue using this code without my Wizard number? Are there any other codes that compare to this or is this one simply the best?

Side question - will reservations made with these corporate discount codes count towards Avis First status?

I'm wondering where the information came from stating that K816401 was a Hawaiian Airlines code. This is the first mention I've seen of it in this thread, and then there have been subsequent mentions of it as Hawaiian Air, but my guess is that the source for those mentions was this post that I quoted. I ask because I used it for a reservation, thinking it was a Hawaiian Airlines code. I was surprised when I had to call to make a change to the reservation and was asked by the reservations agent if the person renting the car was with the federal government. Coincidentally, it just so happens that this reservation WAS for someone who was on official government business, but I was surprised how the agent knew this. I asked the agent, and he responded that this discount code is a federal government code.

There were many warnings in this forum about using the Florida State Employee code - many - it was specifically never to be used when renting from a Florida location.

Renting in Frankfurt

Mexico City 2-3 days
 

Best code for Mexico City 2-3 days, preferably a SUV.

Thanks, I did end up going with them - Grace Bay Car Rentals I think was the name!

Here's a new one for me. I am trying to book a one-way Manhattan-IAD in April. All the codes I tried seem to include between 32-40 cents per mile charge. Any way to get unlimited mileage? (Hertz reservation includes unlimited mileage.)
