As 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.

I cannot get the same rates if it is booked under Preferred even with 100% legitimate AWDs.
Using the American Airlines code for Avis and booking thru its own link (and a much more information website than the new Avis US), I got the rate for a South Africa rental the same rate as the "prepay" rate when it would be booked directly on either Avis US or Avis Canada.
Booked thru the AA portal, then called Avis to add the Qatar flight number as Avis does not list QR in the drop down menu for the Arrival airline info and it wont let me add QRxxxx without giving errors. It only accepts xxxx but then nobody would know WHICH airline it is!
There is also no place on AA portal to add Wizard number.
The rate did not change after adding the rep add QR info.
Then asked the rep to add the Wizard number, the reservation then repriced! It changed to the Pay at the Counter rate, versus the AA portal's lower rate, about 10% difference!
On a domestic rental, I could not get the same rate with the Citi Travel AWD if logged in, even though the profile AWD is blank. It also does not allow me to update the profile with the Citi Travel AWD.
I am very tempted just to just book OUTSIDE Avis Preferred as we do not earn Avis Preferred points, we much prefer to earn airline miles.
Anybody has such experiences in booking outside Preferred has much cheaper rates?

Hi folks,
I am trying to rent a full-size van for 5 days, round trip.
Dates: 7/19 - 7/24
Location: ORF (Norfolk Int'l Airport)
Class: Full Size Van (12 or 15 pass)
Codes tried:
A113400 L093590
a108373 L149332
K817100 L237904
a108393
A686200
G930700
And several others. Can't get "pay at counter price" to go below $1200. A couple weeks ago I saw it for $325, but colleague told me not to book it. Rawr. Any chance this price will go down at all? Maybe the $900 range? I saw a "pay now" price of $850, is that the best it'll get?
Thanks so much for your help!

Welcome to FlyerTalk, Audrey Mehring!
Sometimes neighborhood locations outside of the airport may offer lower prices; but they usually are open during normal business hours instead of 24 hours.
Also, watch to ensure that the rental cost includes unlimited miles.
If the cost of a rental is low enough, the cost of transportation to one of those rental car locations may be well worth it for you.
Search for neighborhood locations in the Norfolk area and see if you get favorable results...

Honestly if you're choosing pay at counter just book it now and you can always cancel it later for no fee. I've done it plenty of times and seem rates go lower. I have a one way from Avis that lowered the counter rate lower by $200. It's also cheaper than any other rate by like $600 for the same class car.
