Does anybody have some latest BCD or company codes to receive a discount of 10 % or higher?

Will there be any IDs, vouchers or a special country of origin required in conjunction with the code?

Thanks for sharing. I'm planning rentals in Chile around February/March.

It appears that using discount codes may not result in discounts at all with Budget. Check out the MasterCard/Budget and Costco/Budget deals (can be found in Costco travel brochures).

Any update on discount codes for Budget?

Check this link out. It has some coupons you can use.

Found this one on a Ralphs bag,BCD#X372013 Expires 8/31/04 25% off.

No it was on a grocey bag from ralphs with all kinds of other discounts for summer.It was not a coupon and said nothing about taking the bag to the counter.

Found this one on a Ralphs bag,BCD#X372013 Expires 8/31/04 25% off.
FWIW: I just glanced at a Ralphs supermarket shopping bag, and the expiration date is now 31 Dec. 2004. Says "Save up to 25%." Seems like one must try a bunch of codes to get the best rate.

You summed it all up.. it is just part of playing the Budget game. With a little work you can save $ :)

This is another rental car site where I can't figure out where to put these codes that are suggested. Where in the world are you supposed to put it?

First go into their home page:

https://rent.drivebudget.com/Home.jsp

Look at the upper left area and click on "Rates and Reservations." It's to the right of the big Budget sign.

Then you should see a page with Rate Preference, Discount Code (BCD) near the bottom. Put a dot where it says "BCD rates." Enter your code there.

Such a pain in the butt site!

Such a pain in the butt site!
Now that's an understatement! I haven't used Budget in a couple of years, but it is by far the cheapest of them all for my trip home to Calgary at Christmas and the Ralph's BCD worked to save me CDN45 over 4 days.

But, with that brutal site, there is no way to enter a BCD to see Ralph's rates if you log in first with your Fastbreak BCN#. You have to reserve/confirm without logging in, then call and get your BCN# attached to the rez.

And you have to call to change your profile too! What decade of the 80's are they operating in, anyway??!! :rolleyes:

I "discovered" this secondary reservation page by mistake (how nice of them to hide the BCD code box when on the home page!), but I still can't find a box to enter my coupon code. When I called Budget, they said they could do it on the phone but then quoted me a higher base rate. Anyone know how to enter both a BCD code and a CPN code at the same time on the web site?

I have not been able to find a way to enter a coupon code after many attempts. El mundo bizarro! :rolleyes:

Any new codes out there?

The Ralph's code still works.

I have not been able to find a way to enter a coupon code after many attempts. :rolleyes:

You can't do it. You can only enter a BCD code. Just make the rez. and take the coupon with you when you rent the car. They'll accept it if it's applicable.

I've found the best discounts by using the Entertainment Book coupons.

Phil

20% off entertainment book coupon gave me a rate of $102/week + taxes/fees for a mid size in Maui and $137 + taxes/fees for a full size in Kona. Lowest rates I've seen, except maybe at priceline (can you say 'no cancelation or changes'?).

I am going to rent a standard car for a week from TUS to PHX and input the Entertainment 20% off coupon BCD code and although it gave me a discount, it was closer to 15%.

I then found the following webpage, and although it says that one gets a 15% discount on a weekly rental, but I think mine was higher.

In my case it carries 1,500 UA miles, as well, although the inital United webpage seems to indicate only 500 UA FF miles. The clincher was that at least for my car class, there was no drop charge!!

Base cost for my 7 day rental is only $140 with the United special offer.

Hope this helps.. :)

Phil

I agree. The 20% off a weekly rental coupon has given me the best rates on my last two weekly rentals. It appears you have to hand over the coupon at check in/check out to get it to price correctly.

On the budget website I was quoted $280.00 for a weekly rental.
I waited a minute and went through the process again to see if the price would change, it didn't until the third time I tried. Now the price showed $250.00. It may be worth a second or third pass to see if the price changes when booking. F.Y.I.

Get the best Entertainment rate by double-dipping: Use the 20% discount and the $20 coupon. (https://www.entertainment.com/save/gotoofferdetail?offerid=005OFR00602075&locationid=005RED00608071)

I'll need a rental car in Los Angeles for one week. Do you think can you kindly email me the entertainment's Budget weekly rental discount code ? It would be very very appreciated.

BigGuy and all others concerned,

I completed my rental and instead of the stated 15% that I was supposed to receive over the regular rates, it came to 27.7% !!! That is why it was better than the 20% coupon from the Entertainment Book.

Now, hopefully, I will receive the 1,500 United miles for the 5 days or longer rental!

I will keep you all posted.

Of course, YMMV when using this code.

Good luck!

I have a 7 day intermediste rental for $159.75 base rate with BCD Rate Code W116168

www.wailuabay.com booked the res for me, and recd an budget.com email and have been able to update the res successfully. The original budget.com rate was $229.xx, so this discount is hefty. Cheaper than what Priceline would offer, and Hotwire.!

Do you know exactly where W116168 comes from?

Do you have to show any sort of ID or coupon to claim this rate?

Thanks.

I continue to have very good success using the Costco code:

I tried that code for TUS and the rental price went UP by $50 :confused: . I'm not sure what that code is but you can have it.

Do you actually have to be a member of Costco to use this code? Thanks

Not sure if you have to show you Costco card at time or rental or not, but the reservation does not require any Costco login or membership #

I too have found the best deal so far for our trip to Sping Training/Grand Canyon via Costco & Budget.

Has anyone used "A Free Day On A Weekend Rental" coupon in addition to the Costco discount? Does Budget always honor both or are there any restrictions to the Free Day coupon if I use them for a 3-day weekend rental in March at FLL?

Get a mid-size car for $154/wk at Budget.
Valid for pickup through 2/28/05 at participating US airport locations.
Must be booked by 2/24/05. Weekly rates require a five-consecutive-day minimum rental with a 14-day maximum rental.
Blackout dates apply. Use BCD code U030183.

A couple of Wal Mart codes I found on the internet that worked equally well to discount a Hawaii rental by about 20%: BCD code W810000 and BCD code W810011.

Try checking the rates as a non-US resident on the budget reservation system; non-US residents seem to get a huge discount.

Example: 5 day car rental in SBA from April 12-April18/06 is 210USD for US residents; 179USD with the Costco discount...and 132USD for Canadian residents. Go figure!

Where on the Internet did you find those Wal Mart Codes. Boy do they make a difference in the reservation.

Thanks!

Googled "Budget" and "discount" - came up on a couple of those coupon websites.

In my case, the Costco code did even better.

Hmmph. The lowest I can see for Tampa Airport Feb 18-25 is $379/week. Is it just because it is school vacation week? Any suggestions?

Thx

Hi All,

I just booked a full size on budget.com for Kona March 15-17th. Price without discount $120 price after applying W116168 $82!

I just hope they don't ask where I got the code from...I am not sure if flyertalk.com would count! :p

Hello, if you are a AA.com fan and Budget person, check out the Advantage specials and get triple miles from budget all year (go to budget.com/american) then until Feb. 15 earn upto 36000 miles on trips to west coast, See advantage air specials on AA.com. Since Nov. 2005, I have earned over 25000 miles on this deal and should get another 25,000 more by years end.

I have rented from Budget many times with the Costco discount and I have never been asked for my membership card.

I follwed the link as you suggested (www.budget.com/american) and not only was my discount better than the Walmart or Costco code, I will get an upgrade as well as the triple miles. The coupon says that this is good until 12/31/2006. The link will fill in the BCD and Coupon for you.

that above code is by far the best i have found for my trip to hawaii. Where does that code come from. If i paid for the car rental before i even go on the trip would they have any reason to ask me about the code?

I am trying to reent a car for only one day. Feb 16th. the rates for Houston are extremely high(close to $90). Any help would be appreciated. thanks!

I have been looking for a real good deal in Manchester England. Does anyone know of a good discount code for this location?

I entered the W116168 code in for MCO and didnt get a discount on all rates just the Cadillac CTS for 190.00 a week.

Best luck for me of late is to pull up rates at Southwest's website, which I think gives a discount already, then modify by clicking the link at bottom to add discount codes. Pretty much have found Costco's to be as good as anything, often reducing an additional 25%.

Last weekend got $13 a day plus taxes/fees for CLE airport on a midsize.

When traveling with a spouse, Budget doesn't charge extra ($7 a day or so) for the second driver, which is also a major reason we look to Budget first.

BCD code X724300 is for customers of Shaw's Supermarkets in New England that have a Shaw's Rewards Card. You can apply for a card online at www.shaws.com.

This is a Southwest Airlines code: U072708. It's from a Southwest promo. I am getting up to 30% off on compact to premium cars (weekly or weekend) rentals.

hey there,

this is the code that me and my bf used to book our car in Poland, but it works for the USA, too. (actually we used american budget website, polish one does not allow you to enter coupon or discount code).

It is W810011 I found it on the Internet and the source was given as Wal Mart - discount for Wolly World (I know you - Americans - call it that way but am not sure of spelling, so in case I'm wrong, I'm sorry) customers. The infomration said it ought to give up to 25% off but when I checked it, it only gave 10%.

Anyways, it works and it's better than nothing, so hope you'll find it useful.

From Poland with love.

This is quoted from post #45

I want to use that coupon (BCD U072400) which allows you triple bonus miles on American and gives you one free upgrade up to "E" level. I looked on budget web page and it looks to me like it's a intermediate SUV (Class F)? Is this correct? Is that what I would get if I went for my free upgrade from my "E" level car? It doesn't seem right for some reason.

I'd really like a "mustang" or something "fun" SUV might be fun also (I've never drove one before). So I don't know whether to book for class C-intermediate and hope I get the upgrade to the mustang-what else do they have in that class besides mustangs? Or go all the way to class "E" and hope that they give me Class "F" which is the SUV.
I was thinking my chances of getting a mustang when arriving at 12-noon at OAK wouldn't be very good. It'd be pointless of me to get a upgrade at all from an economy car if I didn't get something "fun". If I can't get either of those I might as well save myself the money. Any way I can know in advance? Hehe. :O)
Suggestions?

Thanks,

Jaimie

I reserved my car through the USAA website (for USAA members only) and got a better discount than any other discount code that I've seen yet. Plus I was upgraded to a Premium car (small print says if one is available). Basically I got a Premium car for less than the cost of an Economy car (using the AA code and the Costco code).

This may not work for everyone, but it's a great deal for USAA members.

Nick

Thanks, I just used the USAA site and saved 10%.

One question: I booked a one day one way rental from airport to airport and there is no one way charge... is this usual? I thought there usually was a drop charge?

Is that www.usaa.org or www.usaa.com?

I am assuming the latter, but they are different.

Thanks.

I am a Newbee here. Just wanted to know of the best deal on a Mini Van Rental for June 06. I have been surfing for days trying to find the best deal for I will need the Van for 8 days. Any Coupon Codes, Corporate codes that you can give me would be Great. You can post here or send me email at rgb732@yahoo.com

Thanks In advance for Reading and your help. :)

Code W116168 works great!! Let's hope they don't ask for some special
ID when I check in. It saved me over $100 on a minivan in KOA for
August.
Thanks.

Its USAA.com, but I think you have to be a member and logged in to use this discount.

I follwed the link as you suggested (www.budget.com/american) and not only was my discount better than the Walmart or Costco code, I will get an upgrade as well as the triple miles. The coupon says that this is good until 12/31/2006. The link will fill in the BCD and Coupon for you.

I am finding HNL in July for four days to have the best/same price ($168) as other codes through this link for a full size car. So the potential for an upgrade and triple points makes this offer a good choice for me.

The offer states "on your next qualifying rental of three to five days on an intermediate or larger car." So if your rental is longer than the five days you don't have the option for an upgrade and lose opportunity for AA points? I am plugging this code in for nine days for KOA and getting a good price. It is coming in at $331 versus $316 for W116168, so if I could get potential upgrade and AA points, that would be nice.

Further review from aa.com shows that the triple mile offer and the standard offer of 50 points have the same BCD number U027400, with the coupon number of UUAZ009 being entered automiatically for the triple mile offer.

I am not up on rental stuff, so if anyone could give me a head's up on whether this offer includes rentals past three to five days? My interpretation is no and I should be happy with the price and leave it at that. However, the lure of a potential uprgrade and AA points makes me want to throw it out for another opinion. Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.

I have read post where Costco & Walmart Budget BCD codes and other Budget BCD codes worked for others but I can't seem to get any discounted quote using any BCD codes whether making reservation on airport or off airport locations. Can anyone advise me how to get these discounts before my rental next weekend?

Called the Entertainment number of 1-888-724-6212 and asked for the lowest rate in Maui(OGG) for 7/5-7/11. They gave me a rate of 157.18 including all taxes and fees. Noticed the BCD # of V222904 on the receipt. I think its a good rate, even for an Economy.

Used this one the other day:

BCD # X739200

It's from Rentalcarmomma.com. I was able to get a Cadillac CTS for less than what I could find an intermediate anywhere else. It was a one day rental, and it was $36.80 before taxes. I think the midsize was a couple of dollars less, but the CTS with XM Radio was VERY nice.

Went to pick up car on Maui. I was asked for a HI license or mail to prove an HI address. this disount is only available to island residents. When I called the Entertainment # they told me that was the lowest rate available to me. I used my MA address and phone number and a credit card with my MA address to pay for the rental. After a 9 hour ride from Chicago I just would not pay a full price rental. The manager would not give me the discount. Finally someone found a BCD # to get a price of $171. with taxes and fees. I accepted it, but I was really tired, grumpy and sure I would never use Budget again.

BCD X739200

Thank you for this code, it saved me a couple of bucks over the Costco code of W852837.

Hi All, I'm new around here and found this place to extremely helpful. I just wanted to share a code I found from www.islandair.com in Hawaii. It is U030087 and it gives great rates for Hawaii, not sure if it wrks anywhere else. Enjoy.

Thanks for posting that follow up! I already had a car reserved and changed my code # to your code) for a MUCH better rate! Then I read your follow up. :td: lol I think perhaps I'll let it ride and see how I can do with them if they say no. ;)

The codes I've seen here do not seem to provide for upgrades, or are for weekly rental upgrades. I have a compact at AZO this weekend, but don't really want to be in a compact. Any discounts with double upgrades or similar for a 2 day weekend rental? The $$ difference is not the point, just trying to get something for nothing--the FT way.

Here is another coupon code (MUAZ026) to use with the AA BCD (U072400). It gives you $25 off a weekly rental and 500 bonus AA miles.

Hi All,

Hi ctuttle--
Did you have any problem using this code? Did they question it at all? Reason I'm asking is I found some great rates with it too, and so went ahead and printed out that webpage from Rentalcarmomma. Then, I noticed that the code that's on the "member savings card" on the right is actually X793200, unlike the one in red on the left! Seems like maybe a typo? Anyway the rates I found were SO much less than almost every other code, I had begun to wonder if it was legit or if I'd get to the counter and be told I couldn't have it! So if you used it without problem, I'm much encouraged!!

Hello,

Does anyone have a valid BCD for BC, Canada. All of the codes mentioned here don't seem to work -- rate is the same with or w/o the BCD.

Budget is one of the few to have a station in Port Hardy on Vancouver island...

Many thanks

jan

PS -- does anyone know what BCD # X739200 code stands for?

Hello,
Going to Greece this week and I have a reservation with Budget already. I tried the Costco BCD and it lowered my rate by 40E. Does anyone know if they will check for a Costco card when I pick up the car?

thanks!

Just got back from Maui and I scored with that code. Struck up a nice convo with the agent (I have the gift of gab if you will) and she never mentioned a thing about HI only for my code (V222904). Saved me about $100!! ^

Used this for Grand Cayman GCM 8/26-9/2 called the Entertainment Budget #1-888-724-6212. Got a medium car for 1 week for $230. taxes and all. Is this good? could I add a coupon and get more off? I know I said Budget never again, but they have such darn good rates.

Some coupons are not accepted at some locations. Take an upgrade coupon with you, it couldn't hurt. I tried to use a double upgrade coupon when I made an online rez. at Maui and the website it would not be accepted there. :(

Does anyone have current BCD code for a 4 day rental for a convertible during the week?

Does anyone have current BCD code for a 4 day rental for a convertible during the week?

Read the previous 10-15 posts and try all the codes you see. One, or more, should work.

I am looking for a car for Hawaii in December and just tried the Island Air website. The rates are close to half of what any of the codes listed here are. Has anyone done reservations thru their site?

thanks

I booked through the island air website as well for January, and the rates are great, shouldn't be a problem once you go pick up the car.

Try BCD X7932000

None of these codes are doing anything for me. I'm coming up with a $26
daily rate for a Miami rental. (Costco W852802)

I've rented before from MIA for $18/day this year -- if anyone has a Florida code, please share, it would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi ctuttle--
Did you have any problem using this code? Did they question it at all? Reason I'm asking is I found some great rates with it too, and so went ahead and printed out that webpage from Rentalcarmomma. Then, I noticed that the code that's on the "member savings card" on the right is actually X793200, unlike the one in red on the left! Seems like maybe a typo? Anyway the rates I found were SO much less than almost every other code, I had begun to wonder if it was legit or if I'd get to the counter and be told I couldn't have it! So if you used it without problem, I'm much encouraged!!

i had been using the X739200 code all summer here in philadelphia and scoring a single day rate of $25 (the rate was $44.99 with no BCD) and getting everything from a pontiac G6 to a chrysler pt cruiser. everytime i picked up the car the attendant was shocked by the rate.

i just tried the code again today, and there was not any discount applied at all. the X793200 gave me a pre-tax rate of $40.49. looks like someone finally caught on.

I have a Perks Plus Club BCD number that seems to work.
X280201

W116168, reported earlier on this thread, saved me $100s for a Hawaii rental this winter. Gotta love FT. :)

Any good rental codes that I can get from SLC to San Antonio around Nov 6-14. Thanks a bunch!!!

But what the heck is W116168 ... just curious

X280201

Thanks for the code, I just booked an intermediate car for $21.90 at BUR. All the other codes were giving rates of $33 plus.

Wondering if the actual coupon is really required when you pick up card having reserved with these codes. Who has experience to share? I am finding that several of these codes work, but when I try to use them to make reservations with a consolidator, the website says 'actual coupon will be required at check-out.'

just an FYI, this code X280201 worked great at LAX for the first weekend of Dec 06 - 2 days for a total including tax of $41.03 or ($18.95/day plus tax) and also at IAD for $43.17 for three days Friday - Monday before tax ($53.59) with tax.

Anyone have any idea what BCD would work in DR? I have tried a bunch of codes from here and no success till date. Thanks,

I've used these many times--
AAdvantage BCD U072400
coupon TUAZ040

gets double AAmerican miles.


If you're coming to POP give me a shout- we'll have a mini DO!

I've used these many times--
AAdvantage BCD U072400
coupon TUAZ040

I've tried the BCD code above and it gives me the same discounted rate as my AAA BCD and Rutgers Alumni Association BCD. However the coupon code comes up as error that this location doesn't accept it.

Sadly, the total is over $50 for a one day rental plus $25 for under 25 year old driver (I'm 24) I can't justify paying $75 for an Econobox after paying $84 for roundtrip JetBlue airfare from JFK to ROC and back... the pride would kill me.

--Russ

PS. Anyone has any legitimate coupon codes I could use at Budget? ( no one else would rent to under 25 at that location in NY, Enterprise and Hertz charge $35 more but their rates are higher, Avis rates are the lowest but they charge $110 surgarge!!!)

I have the same queston as you. Did you use the code, were there any difficulties? Using this code is saving me a lot on an upcoming reservation. I'd apprecite if you could share if you used this code. Thanks.

Also try X773400 Not sure where that one originated (it seems to be built into my profile) but it came up with the same rates as X793200.

i found a coupon code for budget here: http://www.couponseven.com/coupons/Budget.asp it appears to be 10% off coupon and free upgrade. Good Luck!

oops posted twice!

after using X739200 all summer until it stopped working in september, i tried using it for a 3-day rental out of TPA. it's giving me about a 30% discount for a full size SUV.


and i just checked out a one day rental in philadelphia, compact cars are showing up for 16.99 for the day!!

PS -- does anyone know what BCD # X739200 code stands for?

I had a car booked with this rate and went through a lot of umms, aahs, etc when picking the car up.

Seems this is an internal code used by Budget for Insurance claims. Apparently one's insurance company will make the reservation directly with Budget when they need a replacement vehicle while the insured's car is being repaired.

I was picking up at MIA and the woman immediately recognized the code as the MIA location is not supposed to be renting Insurance Claims; these are normally only rented from off-airport locations.

I was drilled for 5-10 minutes (How did I make the booking? Did I have my confirmation print-out from the web? {I did} Was I in an accident? Who was my insurance company? what was my claim number? Why did my insurance company reserve my a replacement car at an airport location?) In the end she did everything she could to have the system force the rate but she couldn't get past the screen asking for the Insurance Claim Number. She subsequently checked with her Manager who told her to do just do a new booking. When I compared the new booking rate to the X739200 rate, there was less than $5 difference. She booked the new car using BCD W852802. When reviewing the paperwork I noticed the price difference and she said she could refer back to the Mgr again and have him put a credit thru but I told her that was fine as my company would reimburse me anyway. I didn't want to draw any more attention to the situation for less than $5.

So, the long and short of it all based on my experience is to tread very lightly if trying to use BCD X739200 in the future.

booked with the same insurance claim code at Denver airport. One confused young man behind the counter who had to get his supervisor, who then said that they couldn't do it and started asking me similar questions about claim numbers, etc.

told them I just wanted to get a rental and if this caused a bunch of hassle to just book me a regular rate (with a AAA discount). When they entered my name again, the computer wouldn't take it!. Had to enter it with my middle name first, and a different credit card... I wonder if I will need to continue doing so in the future everytime I rent in Denver.

The guy behind the counter felt bad and upgraded me to an H3 (very handy in the snow of Southern Colorado where I needed to go), however, if you ask me if the extra hour at the Budget counter was worth saving $20, I would so no...

Based on that experience I could not recommend using the code unless you have the insurance claim to back it up...

I had the same thing at MIA. The woman told me one person can not have two reservations for the same location/same day. She had to repeat the last letter of my last name to get the new rez set-up for my second rez, too!

just an FYI, this code X280201 worked great at LAX for the first weekend of Dec 06 - 2 days for a total including tax of $41.03 or ($18.95/day plus tax) and also at IAD for $43.17 for three days Friday - Monday before tax ($53.59) with tax.

I don't know what the origin of x280201 is but many thanks - the rate at PHX was nearly identical to x793200 and hopefully doesn't come with the hassles associated with the latter. About $50 cheaper than the regular rate on a weekend rental, and $30 less than Hertz. :cool:

My last rental at SAN was hassle free and the .5 RR credit just put me over the top for a free flight on WN, so I have nothing but ^ for Budget.

Same deal here. Bunch of b.s. when I went to pick it up. I had printed out the page from rentalcarmomma.com and showed them. The agent then started a new rental for me at 3X the cost! Told her to take a long walk and went and rented elsewhere.
I'm not using that code in the future.

Hi there,

Any suggestions on a BCD code to use at GCM? Any experiences with this Budget station?

Many thanks

I called up reservations and the agent used the Fastbreak BCD JH999G and then gave me a $5 off coupon MUFZ031.

I actually had priced the Fastbreak BCD versus the AA/UA BCDs and the airline rates were lower.

So I booked my reseravtion using the AA BCD and the called up to ask a question and the agent said here's a $5 coupon and changed it to the Fastbreak BCD while keeping my original lower rental rate. :)

this code is still going strong, I booked it for three days this weekend; beats the other ones out there too at least for my pick up locations

Receive a free day on a minimum five-day weekly rental on an intermediate (Group C) through full-size, four-door (Group E) car on top of your Costco member discount! A Saturday night stayover is required. See complete terms and conditions below. Be sure to request BCD# W852802 and CPN# TUGZ504 at time of reservation.


Valid through 5/31/07.

I'd like to rent a full size SUV for 9 days in June, but the price with tax is about $600. Does anyone know of any discount codes or coupons I can use at JFK to get the price reduced?

Thanks,

Had a similar experience with BCD X739200. Although I had read the posts already even before I booked, I thought the BCD I used was not the insurance one. Anyway, I ended up at the counter with a supervisor who noticed that it was the insurance replacement code. She explained that I couldn't avail of the rate becuase they didn't offer that rate at Airport locations. It took her another 15 minutes to make me a new reservation for a full size instead of a premium but the new rate was a lot higher even with some discount. I politely turned down the new agreement and walked over to Avis to get my regular corp rate on a full size. I ended up with a Mazda 5. It is some sort of a mini mini van. :)

I've discovered a very interesting link; it appears to be a resource intended for Budget's own customer service reps:

(The second one gives a bunch of nice coupon codes while also explaining how to "capture the reservation, and ultimately the rental, by making the customer feel that they are receiving a special value and that we care about their business.")

There is also good, detailed information about rental policies around the world, and this helpful guide to staying in shape:

Anyway, I found much of it quite interesting and revealing; I don't know how long it will remain open like this, but I highly recommend taking a look.

I've discovered a very interesting linkNice find -- thanks for sharing.

I tried a couple of the coupon codes on an upcoming reservation and they didn't error out, but also didn't lower the rate of the reservation (but I think that's typical of their reservation system -- the discount, if available, will be reflected at pick-up).

Just for kicks, I plugged in the BCD number listed for Cendant employees -- gave me a rate that was over $20 higher than the standard budget.com rate. Sounds like some of the supposed employee "discounts" at my employer! :)

That number you gave with the 3 letters and 3 numbers is your BCN/Rapid Rez/Fast Break number and I wouldn't be giving that out to anyone seeing as how it has your credit card number and other pertinent info attached to it. The BCD number is 1 letter followed by 6 numbers and that gives you the discount.

I am trying to rent a car for my brother's wedding in Cheyenne. I will be driving from Salt Lake to Cheyenne roundtrip, I want to leave on the 15th and return on the 17th. Any codes out there?

I've got an upcoming reservation and wanted to combine the Costco BCD number with an Entertainment Coupon to get the lowest possible rate. The website took the combination, but will it work at the counter? I do this all the time at National, but wasn't sure about Budget. My rental is in ORF.

Thanks.

Thanks for the links (a few messages up), very handy.

Seems like I can't do any better than my AAA rate. Just need to find the right coupon to go along with it.

Thanks for the links. If you are renting a car in SEA and want to avoid the airport charges, try location KT1 (Kent). It is just a few miles away. Upon calling them, I learned that they will deduct the cost of a cab from your rental bill if you save your receipt. I am renting for 17 days and the KT1 rate was $400 less than the SEA rate.

Just got this one...apologies if its already been posted...I tried to do a quick check and didn't see it

Who is this discount intended for? I just made a reservation using it and I just want to make sure it it not for some obscure group like the Arkansas association of one armed basket weavers.

BTW, I saved about $500 on a two week rental over what Orbitz was showing.

I also just used that code for a weekend rental and saved a modest 10%. I'd also like to know its origins.

For the past year, I've been frequently using my USAA discount number will great success, averaging about 20 to 25% off. I tried it first with this rez and the prices INCREASED 25%. Weird. I haven't had time to plug all the BCDs in to see what works best. Frankly, I enjoyed the USAA number since it was so simple to get a good rate. I don't want to go back to the "bad old days" of spending 15 minutes swapping BCDs on their website.

Has anyone ever been denied a rental price for failure to provide ID confirming the legit use of the codes?

Does anyone have any good codes for a rental this weekend in Las? Thanks

Aye Carumba!! I used the BCD code and my SUBURBAN 4WD went from $782 all in for a week to $547 all in for the week. That's %30 off!!

Looking for a BCD to use on an Orlando rental in January for a convertible that produces a lower 3 day rate than any listed in the thread.

Does anyone know what's up with X474200 ?

I checked it out on Budget, and it gives me around a $200 discount on a minivan for an almost 6 day rental.

Are they going to ask me for identification of some sort? Does anyone know where this code comes from?

I did Google.

My concern is that the Travelocity website doesn't offer nearly the same quote as I get using this code - so what's the connection, and is there a chance of being asked for some sort of ID?

Does anyone have any other current coupons or codes?

I'm flying to Mexico in March for a 3 week break and was wondering if anyone knows of codes that work for hire cars in Mexico?

I did Google.

My concern is that the Travelocity website doesn't offer nearly the same quote as I get using this code - so what's the connection, and is there a chance of being asked for some sort of ID?

Am curious if this worked out (assuming rental already took place). I used the code for a future reservation and it gave me a very nice 5 day minivan rate for a one way.

Does anyone know what's up with X474200 ?


Wow, I made an reservation online for DEN and this code gave me a huge discount for a SUV. Althought the SUV was greatly discounted compared to other codes and rates, it was only the SUV and Premium car classes that this code had any affect at DEN on my date of travel.

found this info over at rentalcodes.com

BCD V816100
Coupon ID TUGZ032

25% off plus free weekend day. The site also said that you could get $25 off of a week rental. Compact through Full Size.

The site states it is for UNION members only. When I go to the website (unionplus.org) and search it out, I do find the discount information. I am a union member, but not of this particular one. Is Budget going to ask for ID from me to prove my membership?

This is producing an AWESOME rate in ABQ for Memorial Weekend.

well I almost had some balls. I had booked a car in orlando mid feb with the budget employee code, as opposed the to delta bcd. the employee code gave me another $5 off. But I chickened out, because of not being able to prove should they ask for ID. better to stick with the delta bcd since it was only another $5. HOWEVER, I talked to someone who used to work at Enterprise and they said they never verified employee IDs. crap shoot i guess.

here's an updated link to that interesting post with great codes, still working

I don't know about Budget, but I've been using a government code at Hertz for over a year and have never been questioned.

Which BCD have people used with success . . . most discount least hassle . . . too many to chose from . . . thanks in advance.

Try Y243100 - I found it on a coupon site. I got a mid $30 rate in LAX for next week. It's attached to a marketing company but the counter has never asked me for any I.D. - I also registered for the Budget "Fast Break" and used the discount and I get it every time I rent and rarely have to stand in line.

Y243100 also waives the underage charge. This is a great website thanks for all the insight.

Nick, my rapidrez bcd is U093300 for delta airlines discount (19/day compact) but during this delta 5000 miles bonus, I've been using V053900 gov't leisure rate (13/day compact). I used it 3 times this past weekend, no questions, no problems.

I should mention I rented from sacramento. same bcd's may give different rates, better or worse, at other locations.

quick question for everyone out there....

has anyone tried the X201400 (searched google and finally found out that its the veterns airforce code) or T997000 (travel agent's code).

Both of these codes give me excellent deals, however, I'm a little bit afraid to use either of them.

Newbie here.... thought I'd add this. I've been looking for a one way convertible rental in Florida for the last week, cheapest I could find with any code was $480. Most came to $520. I used a Budget convention code I found on ebates (dot com) and I got it for $307 taxes in. This is for a Ford Mustang (I HOPE... the or similar could be something else!).

Anyways, try these BCD's- for meetings/business travel, so anyone can use them!

BCD U071101 (one I used, for meetins/conventions)
S190554 - "save up to 25% off for business travel!"

Hope that helps someone

***EDIT - I just tried codes for Canadian government, union code in prev post, and Budget employee- the code above beats ALL of them. If you find a cheaper rate, let me know :) Unfortunately, I'm set on a convertible (Hopefully mustang!!) for the week.

Despite the warning earlier in this thread, I made a reservation using this BCD and reduced my rate from $45. to $33. I thought as an insurance agent with business cards with "Travelers" and the umbrella logo on it I would be OK. When I went to pick up the car at Westchester Airport after 10 hours in transit from Costa Rica it was a nightmare. The "manager" refused to honor my reservation and said he had cancelled it and had no car for me. After my repeated protests he offered me a car for $105! I called my daughter who was at home and had her check the rate online. It came up $45. After my further, and at this point heated, demands, he gave me a car at $45.

I made a Budget reservation weeks ago using Entertainment book code
X443034, received a very good rate for the week at IAD on a compact class...used the entertainment book coupon MUGZ683 for an additional $20 discount. Today I received an email from Costco showing a coupon code of MUGZ127 good for $25 off the weekly rate.

Does anyone know if I have to use the Costco BCD# to take advantage of this bigger weekly savings, or can it be applied to the existing quote using the entertainment BCD#? Do I just give the rental counter the new coupon code when beginning the rental? When I try to get a new quote now, the rate is much higher, as I am only 6 days away from the rental.

It is only $5, but that will buy me some gas. uhhh perhaps 1 gallon? LOL Thanks for comments.

save 30% on a budget weekly rental, don't think this has been posted yet.

30% discount on a week's rental from Budget Rent-a-Car in the US.
If you do not book a week, this link gives you 10% off your booking.

This is not a coupon code, you will need to click the link to apply your discount:

As far as I can tell, there is no discount applied in the above link - looks like regular pricing...

It worked for me last week (found the URL here (http://meviooffers.com/budget-rent-a-car-coupon-discount-codes/minortechnicality.html)), but it's a $30 discount, not 30% off, and it's not available on the "driver's choice" vehicles - cars like hummers and mustangs, etc. (no real surprise there)

As far as I can tell, there is no discount applied in the above link - looks like regular pricing...I saw a BCD code of U108410 (I'm using IE7).

just used it - saved me approx $100 on a 2 week rental, Thx for sharing!!!

S190554 was excellent at TLV, $98 off of 2 weeks!

I just used BCD U071101 and it gave me the cheapest rate of all the codes I could find. Thanks!

did this code need anything for verification when you picked up the car?

The same doubt here, could anybody verify that? Thanks

Dear all,

Are there any current discounts/promotions or coupons for a 9 day car rental in Fiji with Budget?
I tried searching on this forum but was not able to find any.

Many thanks,

Raj

Does anyone know how exact the "free weekend day" coupons work? I know it doesn't get applied until you return the car, but the coupon requires a 3 day rental. So, what happens if I return my car at 2 Days 22 hours even if I reserved for the full 3 days? Can they somehow opt-out of honoring my coupon? Thanks!

Doubtful you will find "9 day" or "Fiji" specific codes on this or any other site.

Look for "weekly" discounts ... they may be your best bet. 9 days falls between one and two weeks so rates may not be so good.

Did you try BCD U071101? Seems to be a very good all round code.

FWIW (my personal experience) very few BCDs actually reduce rates outside North America or Europe. Blame it on the franchisees. And if you get an artificially low rate, they may actually refuse to honor it ... had to dispute it(and win) with my credit card agency in USA.

Have you chatted up anyone at the local agency? Or anyone in Fiji's large Indian community?

i have tried many bcd codes yet i found Z619843 to be generally cheaper or just as cheap as any other bcd

Can anyone tell me whether the Entertainment book coupon TUGZ511 (free day on weekly) is applied to my online res price or do they do it in the office on pickup of car? I'm finding conflicting info on budget website regarding coupons. Also, I'm assuming I cannot use BCD other than X443034 with that? U023823 gives me a better rate (if coupon was already taken into account using Entertainment BCD/coupon code). Thanks!

That would be incorrect. Just about every coupon and BCD code IS interchangeable and allowed UNLESS specified otherwise in the rules for a promotion or coupon. (Even then, we all know that's questionable, as in the delta budget/avis beaucoup miles promos of late :p).

Another code - Z780299. Supposedly gives you 5-10% off just any size rental at about any location.

The new entertainment books list an offer from Budget in celebration of their 50th anniversary. The one I like is 50% off weekly rental, the BCD number is X443036. Do you think I could use this instead of the UO72500 BCN for the 8500 miles offer from Continental, which must be booked on their website? The rate is about $40 cheaper if I use the entertainment code. Entertainment # has limitations of which I can qualify for; tried linking to but only gives a blank page. Offer good til Nov 20. Must show proof of enterainment membership at time of rental.

Never mind...

Is there one for Budget?

Hertz is AAA present preferred rental provider.

I know this may sound elementary, but after searching for over an hour for a good code for my budget rental I found this one on the specials tab of the budget website "$20-off deal" BCD Y620700
It was actually the best deal I could find and I tried all the BCD codes here. I got a 2 day rental for $39.99 compact (which was actually only $10 off not 20, but hey I'm happy!)

Why not book the DL/Budget special and obtain 20percent off AND 7500 DL Skymiles?

Reporting success w/ U071101 BCD

$20 w/o tax was the rate... vs. $60 w/o code

Routing PUW-PSC

Thanks FT:D

And since I didn't sign initially for the $25 underage fee... it was waived as much as possible... 19.99 (since the car was only $20)

I'm doing slightly better for a Budget rental in Paris through www.rentalcargroup.com right now than through Budget website. None of these BCD codes seem to work there. Anything else to try to get price down?

Another code - Z780299. Supposedly gives you 5-10% off just any size rental at about any location.

This knocked a 3 day one way rental from $356 to $141. The catch is that it's $.45/mile instead of unlimited, but I still come out around $100 ahead.

Did you try BCD U071101? Seems to be a very good all round code.



I also had success with this code. Thanks a lot.
One question: When I show up at the counter with my reservation, will they ask me to show some kind proof that I am entitled to this discount? I'm not an employee of the government or anything.

Cheers,
Chepe

No questions asked when using that particular code... they asked how I got such a great deal... and told them the truth- I found it online :D

FYI... I don't think that's a govt rate or anything... I think it was posted in this tread it was for a conference in Florida or something...

great. thanks for answering beckoa.

Anyone have a decent code for a cheap SUV rental, one day midweek? Hoping for something I won't have to go to great lengths to use since it's a city location that might check more prudently. Also something that negates the underage surcharge in Canada would be cool too. Thanks!

Here is the best BCD CODE i got, and use it all the time.

s190003



Used this code 4 times in the past few weeks, no issues saved a lot of money.

Do you know the source of this code (s190003)? I got a pretty good rate, but don't want to get stuck. Were you required to show any IDs? TIA.
