Car rental & transport coupon codes & deals

How to find the best car rental & transport discounts

Rental car headlines exclude the insurance, the fuel rule and the airport fee, which is where the total moves.

Price the insurance and deductible

The cheap daily rate often assumes you will accept a large deductible or buy insurance at the counter. Compare the rate with the coverage you are willing to carry before you apply a code.

Airport pickup versus city pickup

Airport desks add fees that a downtown pickup may not. If you can reach a city branch, the same vehicle class can cost less even without a code.

Fuel policies are not equal

Full-to-full is usually cheaper than paying the company for a full tank you will not empty. Read which rule the discounted rate uses.

Weekly rates can beat daily math

A seven-day rate is sometimes less than five discounted days added together. Check the weekly price if your dates are close to a week.

One-way fees sit outside the code

Dropping the car in another city can add a fee the code does not touch. Include it before you compare with a return rental.

Use the codes above on the total after insurance, fuel and location fees.
