London Heathrow
 

Hi, Anyone have Avis codes that work in the uk.

Can you please share what company this is with? I want to use this code for an upcoming trip.

wow, this code is the best. please let us know if we are supposed to provide company name or something. i am combining this with platinum upgrade coupon, and this is the best rate i have seen.

this rate is almost a $100 bucks cheaper on a weekly rental than anything else I was finding

OP, can you post the company or PM me if you don't want to do that?

On our way to Italy in Sept-Oct and in need of a code anyone?

I was denied rental with this code as I didnt know who it belonged to. Will try again tomorrow with a different avis but can anyone confirm which canadian company this is for ? Thanks

I am concerned about using this code. any help on the name of the company will be highly appreciate, please pm

C062090 shows as Bombardier in the booking system for Europe, and "Corporate rate" for US and CA

Curious if anyone actually had success with renting transactions either using this code (C062090) or the other discovered "Bombardier" code (C302100), without any questions from rental counter staff -- and even if you're an Avis Preferred customer? Both offer utterly fantastic rates for weekly rentals.

I just booked a rental in Kansas City online for 4 days and the C302100 code saved me about 46.00 for a 3.5 day rental. The C062090 code was 3.00 more for the same rental.

Let us know how it works out when actually picking up the rental. I have it in august and very curious to know the result.

"See counter"
 

"See Counter" ... that's what no one wants to read on the Avis Preferred board next to their name.

I used C302100 and I was asked for company identification at the Avis Preferred counter in LAX this early morning.
She didn't mention Bombardier. Just "company identification". I said I left it at home, the response was "So you don't even have your business cards on you?"

I stood my ground, but in the end got denied the rate. I was offered $25/day excess which they'll waive if I can provide a letter from "my company" upon return of the vehicle, which states that I am an employee.

$25/day penalty is not tragic, but it was a very uncomfortable situation.

I understand that my case might have been an off-chance where this kind of verification/check took place, but I would still advise caution.

LAX airport is definitely one of the smarter ones...

Thanks for the heads up on that code.

Anyone have anymore info on AWD C062090? Is this code legit?

It does give a signifigant discount.

Oh no! So very sorry you had to endure this. No one should ever have to experience this kind of awkwardness when renting a vehicle. Based on this, I'll avoid using this code, and likely C062090, in my future rental bookings. Too bad Avis sites don't mention the origin of these AWD codes when booking rentals.

Oh annoying! It appears LAX are wise! Or perhaps it was mere coincidence...?

Does anyone have any EU codes that work, im looking to book a car for 5 days in Stockholm, Sweden and so far cant get any codes to give any discount other than a measly £5 saved... A few even made it more expensive!

I have used the code mentioned before H811101 on a one way JFK to ATL booking for a roadtrip in October and saved a few hundred pounds as well as getting full LDW coverage for the booking! Unfortunately this deal has now ended :(

Any ideas? :)

Hello all...anyone have a coupon code for 3 nights or more rentals weekday?

I feel like due to the size and location, LAX airport gets more "unauthorised" corporate code rentals than other locations.

N744400?

I just rented in NYC using the Bombardier code without any questions. :)

Bombardier!

good to know. thanks for the update.

Looking for a single day rate code to use while in Las Vegas in August. Staying at New York New York (Avis QN4 location). Any recommendations? I've tried costco and a few others, and it's roughly $73 a day. Anything better?

I booked a car in Malaga in September using the BA blue membership AWD N744100 on avis.com as an Irish resident. This got me a significantly better rate than on avis.co.UK and matched the pay now rate on avis.ie. I am indeed am ba blue member. Just wondering if this is legit. Insurance, tax and location surcharge are all there.

Hello! This is my first time posting on FT. I've been reading for many years and have used many tips here so first off, thank you!

I am planning a trip in Sept. from Seattle to Hartford, CT with a one way rental for 9 days. I just want to ask a few questions before booking. I have been reading up and here is what I've found to be the best combos.

1) Is it true that I can book my rental on Avis.ch being an american citizen and receive insurance coverage included in the rate? If so, I can use either code H811101 or N744400 correct? These both seem to work right now on the site. Do I need to show anything for these codes to work at the counter?

2) If I do end up using the US Avis site, it seems that the best code besides the employee code (which is too risky) is the HP code A515100. Will I be asked to verify anything for this code?

Any other advice or tips on these plans? Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions. Looking forward to the trip!

Pay now, pick up later
 

I put in the Bombardier code for renting over a weekend in Manhattan NYC. What I found is that if I pick up on a friday morning with a return on a sunday night, it is $148 for a full size. If I pick up anytime AFTER 12:30pm, it jumps to over $500.
Anyone know if I could reserve for an early pick up, get the lower rate, go there and given them the credit card BUT actually pick up the car later? This saves me from paying for parking in Manhattan until I actually need it friday night or saturday morning?

thanks.

I used the (C062090) code in Kansas City last week with no issues at all...

Using it again this week locally

Unfortunately no.
That's BA Gold I believe? I am a BA Blue and used theirs and got a free additional driver but no discount on either.
Thanks

Thanks, i just rented my card for $210 the week (7 days) with ALI and LDW using the Swiss site and Simons Mall AWD.

If you didn't specifically add CDW, LI, TP, I doubt they are there on a booking from avis.com - you really should read the small print on the T&Cs (or call Avis).

That's the main reason I never use Avis.com - US$30 per day or so for the insurances (I am non-US) just kills any deal.

I thought that even if booking on avis.com there are some mandatory insurance products that have to be taken when renting in EU countries?

Definitely not in all EU countries.

Only in the countries where CDW are mandatory, such as Italy. In those countries Avis.com would gray out the option to opt NOT to have CDW. As long as that option is not grayed out, then the CDW is not mandatory.

Rented in France, Germany and Croatia - never paid a penny on CDW. Every time told the counter we relied on credit coverage. Counter at SPU, Croatia reluctantly agreed after seeing the pdf file on Visa Signature benefits but insisted to put 1600 euro preauthorization on the card. They tried to get 65K HRK which would be 10K USD and we chuckled, though that amount WAS listed in Avis Europe doc under Croatia. I had that pdf file myself. However we all know that ain't going to happen.
Then they tried 1800 euro and the request was declined. We told them they should make up their mind as the card may not take too kindly on multiple request then the issuer would lock the card... They tried 1600 euro that went thru. Preauthorization only, fell off on Day 5 from what I can tell. We rented 14 days.

For US nationality, the Hilton HHonor AWD which is a public code anyone can use, often offers the best rates on European rentals - that is, without CDW - but anyone from US should have a CC that offers the coverage which requires the cardholder to decline any CDW coverage from rental car except in mandatory countries. After spending a lot of time fooling around on different Avis country-specific sites, we are back to the HHonor code which remains the best for US nationality.

The only additional insurances on offer are:
Personal Accident Insurance (PAI)
Liability Insurance

Included are:
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)
Theft Protection

Could you please elaborate on this?

I am getting an incredible deal with these rate codes for a European rental. Less than 50% of what I would otherwise pay and am tempted to use it. What if I have a US address/CC/license - should I rent under the US website of Avis to avoid a problem renting in the EU with this code?

Edited to add: this rate only gives me 100km/day for my rental :(

Used the Bombardier code at YUL (Bombardier HQ) last week. One day intermediate rate of CAD$32.50 (US$24.70).
No issues and I got a PC upgrade to a BMW 328i. :cool:

The European site will accept a US address and it shouldn't matter. I found that the US site didn't apply the discount correctly, nor allow me to select certain features, sizes, etc. Had no problems using one of these codes as the rental office at the Dover port didn't ask for validation!

You can even create a UK or EU Avis profile using a United States address.

Hey guys can someone explain me the benefits of creating an Avis Pref account, or using it?

I've been renting at Avis exclusively for the past 5 years, 4 weeks per year average. Not much, only when i need a car here in Miami. I do Avis as i get $200 /per week (7 days) with taxes and fully insured by Avis car. I don't think anyone can find a cheaper rate than me? for a fully insured rental?

So, i was just wondering if it would make a difference getting the Avis app or joining/using Avis Preferred when booking the cheapest car available. (Subcompacts, etc)

#1 benefit is to bypass the counter and head to your car, turn on ignition, drive to exit, show DL and leave. Think of how many hours you waste standing in line at the counter and then waiting for the agent to complete the rental agreement. With a Preferred account, you avoid all of that.
