Using coupon codes on car rentals...
All,
I've rented a car with a major car rental company for a 8 day trip from New York City to Los Angeles. To save money, I used a coupon code that I found on the internet. What this coupon code does is waives the Underage Fee for the rental. I have been told that the agent will not ask for verification of elegibility for the coupon code (I am not eligible but it worked at time of booking). Now, in the event that I get into an accident on the trip, would the car rental company look to investigate whether I was allowed to use that coupon code in the first place? What are the potential consequences and repercussions of using a coupon code that I am not eligible to use to rent a car? Now, what if I use the coupon code to get the discount but am then also covered for rental cars on my own insurance? Or even my credit card? Thank you. -ASR |

You do know that when you pick up the car, they'll make a copy of your driver's license? I have no idea whether you can get away with it or not, but in today's litigitious society, you need to seriously research how the system works before you ask strangers to help you cheat. |

Forgot to add -- If you lie in your contract with the rental company, and have an accident or other problem, your personal insurance company may decide it has no legal reason to represent you. Or, they may take care of it and then jack your rates sky high. Ditto with the credit card. |
