How to Find Internet Coupons and Discount Codes for Rental Cars

Rent at a good price.

Hiring a rental car doesn't have to be expensive. When you add the cost of flights, you need a good deal on the rental car to maintain your budget. The rental car market is surpisingly competitive, if you know where to look. Discount codes and Internet coupons abound in this market, which you can use to knock a significant amount off your rental rate.

Things You'll Need

• Internet

Instructions

1. Check with the rental company. Many companies offer Internet-only specials or discounts if you book via their online site rather than calling in.

2. Check sites that offer discounts specific to a location or attraction, such as MouseSavers. This site offers discount codes and coupons to save money on your Disney car rental.

3. Check retail coupon sites. Reputable coupon sites offer the code directly on the site that you enter directly into your online reservation.

4. Use an Entertainment Book. As part of its travel discounts, this coupon book offers online discount codes for all of the major car rental chains.

Tips & Warnings

• Verify the fine print on any coupon code to be sure it's valid for the length of your rental, not just a weekend, and that it allows unlimited mileage.
