Code to beat D752500
 

Let me know what you folks think..... Unbeatable!!!!

I think it all depends on WHERE---that code doesn't give me the best rates for JAX or CHS. A074800 works better.

Ok you asked......... That code is a big LOSER

really it is not that good. ive got fixed rate codes that beat it on the national level. some locations discount is greater than others, but no matter where the price is fixed at 30 a day, for example.

A074800 rocks for rentals at CLT! My full sized car went from $270 to $141. WOW! :cool:

When I tried to use A074800, the rate is terrific, however each mile is at 31 cents.

What location? For CLT and MCO, it worked perfectly for me and my quote clearly states unlimited miles.

depending on location, there is good and bad discounts. however any one way travel on the a074800 usually amounts to the .31 per mile past the 100 free per day.

for the most part, a074800 works as a "guaranteed" rate structure. Which means in that particular airport/location, year round the rate will be the same. So during peak times, a074800 kick arse. during slow periods, it sucks.

on mileage, one way Between certain cities, one way travel is unlimited miles. Other cities it begets .31 per mile past the 100. And cities that are not part of the AWD agreement at all are .31 per mile flat rate.

Which codes do you suggest I try to rent a car OW 1 day or two from Pittsburgh to DC? It's about 275 miles.

first of all, try calling Avis and ask if they have any one way specials from pittsburg to DC. On occasion they do. Most recently they were advertising from AZ to California or from LAS to California or PHX. they were waving drop fee and issuing unl miles at one point. Never hurts to ask.

Heres a current deal for manhattan to Newark, NJ.

second, Consider taking the unlimited mileage (crappy rate) one way and pick up and drop off that car on the same day. Then pick up a booked rate at killer prices for the remainder of your trip/vacation/whatever.

think of the L282800 Code as "1 Day(s) / .052 cents per Mile, No Miles Included."

Thank you so very much, Ezmonee, your L282800 took $16 off my one day rental from Pittsburgh to DC. WOW !!

I am doing as you suggested, returning the car when I get to DC and do another rental later on in the week.

Thanks again. :)

I just found out this site from another forum yesterday...lots of great info!!

I've been trying quite a few codes listed and seems to me L282800 work the best for me to rent a mimivan in Orlando for about 6 days...what code is it? is ID needed??

Great AWD

My experience is that the ASAP code D005297 gives consistently low rates, and only very occasionally do I find a case where one of the other rate codes I commonly try is better. For my rental next week at BWI, D005297 is about 10% less than D752500.
