In my experience, I have found the corporate rates are more expensive that what you could find on the net.

These days, I don't even bother and look at various Internet website and hopefullly the car companies offer a special for when you want to hire.

Good Luck!

But note that the corporate rates usually include some level of insurance in the rate. I know ours does.

You can find a swag of Avis codes on this FlyerTalk thread. Most are USA based and some need identification, and many have expired since the thread commenced. Read the entire thread before using them and beware of any identification requirements that may exist for the best discount rates.

I could tell you some excellent codes for car hire as well as hotel stays. But then I'd have to **** you

Then the person who gave them to me, would similarly probably want to **** me. :cry:

I'd say that's a lose/lose in my book... :roll:

Whilst I wish I could share with everybody, the goose and the golden egg story comes to mind...

Which is why I pointed the OP to those that are already in the public domain on another board.

I know of one car rate that beats every other one I've tried every time.

It is for the Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers, Australia. You would need to join (normally tax deductible), but then you get an Ambassodor Card too (25%/2-for-1 at heaps of places from cafe to 5 star).

(If you mentioned my name when you joined I would get a bonus, but that is not why I'm posting, it really is the best deal) I could probably run a comparison or two for you.

Cheers

Antony

I haven't had to hire a car for personal use for ages (always using corporate rates for work)...but how good are these net rates?

I usually get a base model Falcadore (unlimited kms and $500 excess) for $40.xx/day. The rate's actually for a Magna, but I've always been upgraded to a Falcadore or higher.

Cheers,

My advice is to get an Avis WIZARD card that will make renting quick and easy and you will get an upgrade without asking.
You also get great rates!

Through Thrifty in conjunction with my major corporate sponsor I get a CCAR with Thrifty for $41, FCAR $43 base ($550 excess). Also get the QFF points on that base.
