Quick Thoughts

The big downside here is the need to prepay. I rarely prepay for rentals. However, if your plans are set in stone and you don’t mind prepaying, this promotion looks good to me. It seems you can combine it with a promotion code (Slickdeals included the AWD # S951600, which provided a better discount than American Airlines on the searches I tried). However, you must book through the promotion page.

Note that while the terms state this promotion can be used once per rental, I do not see anything indicating a limit as to the number of rentals per user. You’ll certainly have to compare prices, but on a one-day rental I might consider prepaying if the price were right. With taxes figured in, I didn’t immediately find any cities with prices that were much lower than those available elsewhere, but several that were at least a few bucks cheaper with this promotion. Whether or not this is a deal will really depend on your city and dates.

If you have any good Avis coupons, please share them in the comments!
