What are car rental coupon codes or promo codes?
A coupon code, or promotional code, is the Internet's digital equivalent of the newspaper or magazine coupon.
This code is usually a combination of words, letters and or numbers that is connected to a specific advertisement offer. Most coupon codes are not published on the car rental web site.
The codes are made available to official affiliates of the car rental agencies, like Entertainment Magazine.
Our site links deep into the car rental web sites to make it easy to use current discount codes, car rental promo codes, promotional offers and printable coupons.
Read more about promotion coupon codes and find current codes for travel, dining and entertainment.

Before you place your car reservation online, get the latest coupon codes from our links.
Follow these links for this week's top car rental promotional codes, coupons and offers in the US, Canada, Mexico, throughout Europe and the United Kingdom.
These offers may be Internet-only and not available by phone reservations or other web sites.
Make your reservation before the code or coupon period expires, otherwise the rental agency will not honor the offer.
How to use a car coupon code
Make an online reservation through any of the car rental agencies. The estimated quote price will be without the discount.
Write down any coupon code given on our site to get your discount.
At check out, you will see a box to enter the coupon or promotional code.
Type the code exactly as it is published on our site into the text box. If it is shown in capital letters, be sure to use CAPS. The discount will be applied at the final payment.
Car Rental Coupon Promotional Codes and Printable Coupons
Since some of these online ads require coupon codes or promo codes to get a discount, it must be used at check out in order to get the discount.
For some online sales, promotional codes and coupons may not be needed to get discounts when using links through our web site, unless noted with the promotion code and expiration date.
Car Rental Promotional Codes and Coupon Codes: These promotional codes (promotion codes, or promo codes) and coupons codes will be mentioned in the description. Use those promotion codes when checking out in order to get your extra discounts.
Using Credit Cards: When you reserve your car rental, your credit card is charged when you activate your reservation- not when you place it. That means, you are not charged until you actually pick up your car (or get picked up in Enterprise's case).
Car Rental Insurance: If your own vehicle or auto insurance covers car rental insurance, it is not necessary to purchase additional insurance from the rental agency. Check your insurance policy first. You can then refuse the car rental insurance when asked.
But, if you need to file a claim and you file it with the car rental's policy, it should not have an effect on your personal insurance. Check with your auto insurance agent for confirmation.
Early Booking Means Higher Savings: Book early to reserve the vehicle you want or book at the last minute to get the best rates. If planning during a major holiday, book early to assure availability.
In many cases, you can book your reservation months in advance using a current coupon code. Check to make sure the discount in your reservation still does apply after the code expires.
Hybrid Vehicles: more car rental agencies are now offering hybrid rentals. Some even have special offers to entice customers to try the new hybrids.
Fill'er Up before or at the Drop Off: Before dropping off your car rental, make sure you get credit for returning with a full tank of gas. Check for surcharges.
Now some companies, like Hertz and Enterprise, are being competative with the price of gas when you pay upfront. No need to find a gas station before the drop off.

It costs less to process car rental transactions over the Internet. So, more car rental agencies are providing cheaper rates when car reservations are placed online. When making a phone call to a human operator, usually to a 1-800 toll-free number, labor costs are factored into the rate and may be higher than Internet rates.
