What we'd do

  • •Prepaid rates are typically cheaper than pay-at-counter — you save on the rental and get the credit.
  • •Book directly on avis.com or budget.com; third-party sites (Expedia, Priceline) do not qualify.
  • •Credit accumulates across multiple rentals — no need to use it all in one booking.
