Looking for a code for Budget rental...

[mtemm]

there was one but I can't find it now.

Use W810011 - that's the Wal-Mart code I got off of the Mousesavers site. It worked best for me - saving me some off the Avis one I had. Better rate than the Costco code, also.

AVIS gave me better rates:

I'm renting a van from Orlando to port and on the return for the weekend.
Here are the codes i used with AVIS and could not find a better deal. I used one for going and one for return. go figure?

hmmm - I tried the Avis codes just now for an intermediate car and they are still about $15 more than Budget for one day MCO to the cape. We are getting a car after the cruise for 3 days going to Sarasota and the rates were the same between the 2 companies. I guess it depends on the car size, day, phase of the moon?????

It depends on all of that, Georgianne, as well as what color shirt you're wearing and your middle name. It's crazy... I've just been going through the same thing. Had a ressie with Avis, because I'll be at the Radisson anyway, but several people suggested Budget. I used the Walmart code, and it was way cheaper (compact car for just DS and I) than Avis. Then I noticed a thing on the Discover card site when I was paying my bill about Budget -- clicked through and got the same great rate as the Walmart code, plus was able to print out a coupon for $10 off any two-day rental (I assume that means at least two days; my rental is for two days exactly anyway.) I just have to pay with my Discover card, which I was going to do anyway. Brought my total rental cost down to an awesome $44.50.

I also had received some discounts for Avis via my Sears card, but couldn't use any of them as they all were quite restrictive. You might want to check with any credit card companies you deal with, check out their web pages, and see what car rental deals you can get if you use that particular card!
