From what I understand, Enterprise and Hertz allow free spouse additional drivers.

-Are there any others that I am missing?

-Any codes/coupons that allow for free additional drivers (spouse)?

I would appreciate any help. Thanks!!
 
If you have a Costco membership all of their car rentals include an extra driver for free.
 
First state law in California, Illinois, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon, and Wisconsin, require that spouses be automatically allowed as additional drivers with no extra fee. So, if you are going to dizzyland in SoCal, good deal.

Second, Hertz requires you be a member of their extra special, secret squirrel, special handshake club to get that particular extra freebie.
 
From personal experience:

BJ's offers additional drivers for alamo and national. Possibly more.
AAA gives spouse free with Hertz
Budget has free spouse.
 

Some, Alamo maybe and as a PP mentioned Hertz, allow a secondary driver (not necessarily a spouse) for free if you sign up for there renters program. Good thing is it's usually free to sign up.

Alamo USED TO give free additional spouse, no longer. Again, Hertz still does with the secret squirrel junk.
 
Costco and Alamo....way to go for additional driver. Sign up for the program, just show license at gate! Easiest way to leave MCO the quickest.
 
DH and I belong to AAA and got free 2nd driver from Hertz in NJ and NH. We also got it in CA as far back as 2006. I don't know when the law the PP noted came into effect but imo I think more states should follow suit..
 
Avis (who we usually use) has the following driver guideline per their website:

  • Renter's employer (while on company business)
  • Renter's fellow employee (while on company business
  • Renter's spouse or life partner
  • Disabled renters who have completed the non-licensed renter form
All of the above are allowed to drive the vehicle without the additional driver fee
 
So Budget for sure allows spouse for free? That is who we are using...
Per Budget's website:

"The following are exempt from the fee but must meet all other driver requirements: the renter's employer or fellow employee when on company business and renting under a corporate account; the renter's spouse or domestic partner; the companion driver of a renter with a disability who has completed the non-licensed renter form; for insurance replacement rentals, company employees or family members who are designated on the insurance policy."

You can always double check with them as well.
