Since we have a new thread, I will give the same warning that I did in the previous thread:

The rental car company contract has a clause that the contract is invalid if you are using a contract code you are not entitled to use. So if you rent a car and have an accident, the car rental company, credit card, and auto insurance companies can all deny the claim on the basis that you were using an unauthorized code.

For my personal rentals, it's better to be safe than sorry so I only use codes I am entitled to. The choice is up to you but don't complain you haven't been warned

YMMV - some rental car companies may not check.

Thats the problem Ialways had with using IBM's code with Hertz. They had great rates, BUT all the insurances were included. If I would have been able to take it out the insurances myslef I would have felt safer.

The question is, if you use a code just for a discount, and take out the insurances yourself, and tehn get into an accident, do they void the insurances as well?

If it is only for employee use, Hertz would have no responsibility for providing the LDW coverage. If the discount number is granted for an association and usage is granted for any type of affiliation, you would be in a better position. Bottom line is drive carefully and hope for the best. No guarantees.

While I agree with you in theory, the other one was getting a bit unwieldy. The newbies couldn't be bothered with reading the most recent page or two, much less well over 100. Hopefully the other thread will remain around for awhile for reference.

(Attn newbies-- READ a little BEFORE asking questions. Do your homework and ask an educated question-- you will get you much better and kindlier responses.)

It's a Country ID code,If your from Canada renting in US it gives an additional discount.Oh crap I did'nt mean retard,it was supposed to be entered.Sorry about that.

lol.. np. That's good info to know but FWIW, I don't think the additional discount is worth that much. I tried using these codes when I was searching for my LV rental for December and ended up getting rates that were more expensive than anywhere else. That additional number might work better in other areas? Possibly Florida since Westjet has several flights down that route?

Earlier, I mentioned SW's website. I am working on a trip to LA in 2 weeks and got a quote of $100 less (188) thru Budget than I can get thru Budget itself. That's a great deal- BUT I am reluctant to pull the trigger as I have to give my cc in advance- although I can cancel up to a day before.

Anyone got any deals- LAX 12/19-29 on any size car? National is running roughly the same as Budget, 280-300 midsize with various codes, the best so far being with Entertainment code and free day coupon. I'd love to come close to the SW rate without making the commitment...tia!

I was able to get through hertz using the car and driver CDP: 1757580 a rate of $192. That is with out any coupons, and Hertz usually has a coupons available for $20 - $30 on a weekly rental.

That is just about the best CDP out there right now. Acrossenger has a thread about updated coupons. Maybe I will post them here as well.

Thanks guys. I made a res for the economy but may go with the Green Buick for 265$ special with the 30$ ent coupon. Was kinda hoping for a deal on a midsize but they are running the same as National. I just love the convenience of the EA.

This will give us a change to try out Acrossenger's free #1 Club.
