Earn a 5% college contribution plus extra discounts for Upromise members
Car rentals pretty famously cost more, if they are unavailable at all, for drivers under 25. However, Avis is making amends with younger drivers in this particular sense: Upromise members can get five percent of their rental spending contributed to a college savings account for their child, grandchild, or any other future college student in their life. To secure this benefit, use Avis AWD# K563500 to activate the Upromise member benefits during the reservation process. Contributions are made approximately 45–60 days after your rental is completed.
Maximize your travel budget with Avis coupon codes
Whether or not the discounts above apply to you, there are a few more ways to shave dollars off your rental car bill and improve your experience along the way. By signing up for the Avis Preferred loyalty program, for example, you can earn points toward free rental days, even while using a discount code. If a longer excursion is on your agenda, say for a fall foliage road trip, you’d be wise to check out the “Weekly Rental” specials, which typically show a lower daily rate than individual day bookings.
Other tips to keep in mind: Keep an eye out for Avis upgrade coupons, which can often be used in conjunction with a base rate discount to get a luxury vehicle at a standard price. And while browsing cars, keep in mind that the “Base Rate” excludes taxes, fees, and surcharges, so you’ll want to factor those into your final budget.
