Avis/ Delta Sky Miles

[Twende]

Has anyone used the codes offered by Delta to get discounts on Avis rental cars?

Some where in the details it says this: "....Taxes, concession recovery fees, customer facility charge (in CA, customer facility charge is U.S. $10/contract) and other surcharges apply and are extra.

Frequent Flyer surcharge of up to U.S. $0.50 per day, up to a maximum of U.S. $2 per rental, may apply and are extra......"

Does this first part mean that there will be more charges other than the Surcharge, Vehicle License Fee and a 10% Concession Recovery Fee? We are not in CA so I do not have to worry abou the $10 fee there.

Does the second part mean that for an eight day rental I will be charged an extra $2?

Using the Delta Sky Miles member code of K817625 in the AWD slot and looking at the Estimated Total that Avis gives me, I save quite a bit over any other code I have tried. But I am leary of the above statements.

Any experience here?

I tried calling Avis this morning directly to the office where we will be renting and they had no idea.

She suggested that I call Delta and see if they knew how Avis would handle it!
Oh yeah that will be a help!

I told the Avis people that I had two reservations because I was afraid of extra charges with the cheaper Estimated Total on the Delta Sky Miles one. She did not even bat an eye when I told her that so if I can not get an answer I guess I will keep both reservations and then take the cheapest on when we actually get there!
