Car Rental Discount Codes and Car Rental Discount Coupons

Car rental discount codes and rental car coupons are widely available. You may belong to an associaton or program that offers rental car discount codes and coupons for rental cars that you're not even aware of. Do you belong to an auto club or frequent flyer program? There are many professional assocations that offer car rental discount codes for their members, as well. Click here to go directly to the Discount Codes page ; here you'll find a list of rental car discount codes for 8 major car rental companies.

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.

The Entertainment Book has rental car discount codes for members and rental car coupons for most of the major car rental companies in cities across the United States and Canada.

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

First, let's talk discounts!!

If you are calling a car rental company directly, just ask if there are rental car discounts with that program or association. The agents will be able to access the correct discount code and quote you a rate.

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. Check here, for information on Business Car Rentals (Programs and Benefits)

You may also want to check out Government Car Rental (Programs and Benefits), for government employees and military personnel.

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!

Make sure the coupon you want to use fits your rental, or make the rental fit the coupon if that would be of more value.

Make sure that the coupon has not expired. The rental must start before the date of expiration on the coupon. Also, check to verify that the location you want to rent from participates. Is it for airport rentals only? Does it work in other countries?
