I just did a quick comparison using all 3 codes, D005291 D005297 D005298 All of which worked, and gave the same price. For 2 weeks in Portugal in September:
For a Group G (Opel Vectra 1.9 or similar) + extra driver

without code pay now £559.47
pay later £615.47

with code pay now £342.71
pay later £376.31

Looks like a bargain to me

Hi,

Just about to use this code for Avis (Faro Airport) car rental. I have read through the thread and a bit confused. Can someone please clarify:

Does the AWD code mean i will need to arrange my own insurance in Portugal?
Are there any other liability fees which increase by including the AWD discount?

Thanks.

Hi,

Another question.....is the NON WAIVABLE EXCESS LIABILITY for AVIS quite high eg roughly 1000 EUROS. I have also checked Argus rental who appear to be quite cheap and from what i can see there NON WAIVER is 100 EUROS. A

Any thoughts?

geniusmum

Yes. I think I need this insurance thingy clarifying too before I go ahead & book. Can anyone help please ????

As I said on the first page of this thread

the excess is £600 unless you pay an extra fee and then there is still a £100 excess.

Maybe better to find another (more expensive) car hire firm but with lower or no excess.

Carjet??

Hi,

I have checked Argus Rentals and they state the following:

Deductible / Excess amounts


CDW – Collision Damage Waiver and TP - Theft Protection reduces the renter's financial responsibility to the sum of the deductible.

Group: CDW and TP Deductible amount (EUR):
EDMN, EDMR, CDMR - 100.00
CWMR - 150.00
IXMR - 200.00
PVMR, SVMN, FWMR - 500.00

I am going for a car in the CDMR category. Does this mean my excess will only be 100 Euros??

Hi, is this code valid for UK rental?

Can anyone tell me where these codes originated from in case I get quizzed on arrival (Avis are v.expensive if I get hit with a full payment).

Probably being a bit parsanoid buy after being accused of trying to con Hertz when I had used a code that I had been sent by my credit card company I'm a bit wary about using codes that have no explanation.
