Look for rental car coupons in the yellow pages, in magazines and online. The best source of coupons that I saw during my 8 years as a reservation agent, were the entertainment book coupons.

They have rental car discounts for members and rental car coupons for most of the major car rental companies. You can visit them at www.entertainment.com

We'll talk more about coupons a little further down the page.

First, let's talk discounts!!

If you are searching for car rental rates on the internet, you can get the specific discount number from the program that you belong to from that program's website for membership rewards. Often, you can then link directly to the rental company you prefer and the correct car rental discount code will autofill in the proper place.

The company you work for may already have a discount affiliation with one or more car rental companies. Check with your Human Resources manager for information on possible car rental discount coupons and discount codes or with a reservation agent for the car rental company you choose.

Most rental agencies offer rental car discounts and programs for small businesses and those who are self employed, with discounts,coupons and specials. You can call direct to the car rental company to sign up. As well, most car rental websites will also offer a link for you to apply for a corporate or business account. In most cases, you will receive a car rental discount code that you can use immediately.

If you are calling a reservation line and you are not a member of an association and don't have a coupon, ask the reservation agent if there are any "specials" that day, or a "special rate" they can give you. Most companies empower their agents to discount a rate (they have car rental discount codes they can use).. but only if you ask!
