Aug 24, 2013, 3:40 pm by TravelinSperryAs of 2/12/14: We've had quite a few "Hey, come use this AWD. It's great" type of posts. When the AWD doesn't give a good discount, but is only posted to try to get renters to use the AWD of someone so the poster can earn free days from their Avis Corporate account. From here out, please put the company/trade group/etc that's associated with the AWD or we'll delete the post to keep it on-topic here.

Hey Guys, Im a new member here. I have been a big fan of this forum and truly appreciates all the great work you been doing.
Need a help with a 10 days rental from Chicago suburs

Also note that I edited a few of your above posts to delete "Unknown" AWDs. We've had too many people posting "Try this AWD because it works great." But it's just their corporate code where they're trying to get inflated rental #s. As noted in the wiki at the top of this thread, all AWDs must list the associated corporation/group/etc.
Great, thanks IAHtraveler.Originally Posted by IAHtraveler
Sure, you can post the link. Please note the T&C page has some info on posting links to external sites. Mainly, for your site, "Do not post repeatedly in a manner that has the effect or purpose of driving traffic to a blog or website."Also note that I edited a few of your above posts to delete "Unknown" AWDs.

I tried using the above codes and it increases the rates than i already have. I also noticed in my profile that it shows me as AVIS First. Does that mean i will get an upgrade automatically. To get a premium i can just reserver a full size?
The current rates shows the fullsize is 280$ for 10 days (18th Jul to 28th July) non airport.
Premium is 350$
Few days before i was able to find this at 220$ for a full size and the rates have now gone up.
Need your help guys.

Then, unless I'm mistaken, you are already being shown invitation-only rates. I doubt there's a code you can use to get cheaper than that.Originally Posted by Vinodhkj

You do get a free upgrade with Avis First. They're supposed to upgrade you automatically (when available), but in my experience you might want to call them, either to make a reservation or to confirm the upgrade after reserving online. Dedicated toll free number 800-331-1200 (US only) for Avis First customersDoes that mean i will get an upgrade automatically. To get a premium i can just reserver a full size?

Location:Schaumburg, IL
Dates: 18th Jul - 28th Jul
Car type: Premium, preferrable Luxury(due to 10 days trip
Though my profile shows Avis first in avis site, my login doesnt work in Avis first site. So im not sure if i will get an upgrade.
Also i was using Costco codes to reserve, and it was showing me the same rate even with my avis login and without login, so not sure if i get any special rates for AVIS FIRST.

I have booked a reservation, dint prepay for it though. Will try calling the toll free sometime today.
Hopefully i get upgraded to a premium. crossing fingers. Went through few threads on AVIS First and there was no upgrade by default.
Meanwhile checked the Budget it was few bucks lesser than AVIS for fullsize. But i would stick with AVIS considering the AVIS FIRST.
Here's a list of Avis coupon codes and special AWD / coupon code combinations.
These tend to expire, I'll try to keep the list updated. or re-post as necessary. You can combine ("stack") these with AWD numbers. I got a standard car for 7 days for $177 at LAX in July by stacking A074800 (Citibank / Citicorp corporate AWD) with UUWA029 (free upgrade). I paid with a Citibank card and was not asked for any other proof of eligibility for the discount.

On the Avis website, check the box "I have a discount code", then you will see three fields: AWD Number, Coupon Code, and Rate Code. Enter your Queensland gov't AWD in the AWD number field and enter UPDA029 (double upgrade) or UPPA067 (single upgrade) in the coupon code field, then proceed with your search as normal.Originally Posted by dc2447

Not all AWD numbers work with all coupon codes. This is also dependent on your rental location and dates. Sometimes you have to play around with different combinations for awhile to find the best deal.
If you are trying to find the best rate through multiple searches using multiple AWD numbers and coupon codes, clear the cookies in your browser between searches - you'll be amazed at the difference this can sometimes make.
I never had any luck calling the location up front for car selection.
They never pick up the phone and would only forward you to the main reservation line/
