The American Association of Retirees provides a number of benefits to senior citizens who are members of this organization. One such advantage is access to agreed discounted rates with a number of car rental companies in the United States. The American Association of Retirees has ongoing discount agreements with six car rental companies.
To take advantage of these discounts, you must first be a member. The cost of membership is sixteen dollars a year and can be run online on their website. Membership discounts can be obtained by signing up for several years. Despite the name of the organization, retirement from professional activities is not a prerequisite for membership.
Participants can find a link to car rental discounts on the website by visiting the website and clicking the blue “Discounts” menu button. On the displayed page will be organized all the discounts on their type. Find the section "Travel" - there is a link to discounts "Car rental".
The following page lists the car rental companies with agreed discount rates for their members. The current list includes:
- alamo - up to 25% discount on daily, weekend, weekly and monthly rent rates
- Avis - discount up to 25% off standard rates
- budget - discount up to 20%
- company - additional discount not listed on website
- Hertz - up to 25% off daily, weekend, weekly and monthly rates
- National - up to 20% discount on daily, weekend, weekly and monthly rates
Getting a discount from the American Association of Retired Car Rentals is a simple process. There are other ways to ensure that you get the best car rental deal:
- Call or visit the website for all six car rental companies. Despite the fact that two car rental companies offer a 20% discount and three offer a 25% discount, the starting rate that a car rental company offers may mean that a 20% discount from a lower rate may give more savings than 25% - Best discount from higher rate.
- Consult other travel discount sites such as Priceline or Orbitz. These sites offer discounts that can be combined with a retirement discount. Even if not, the discount may be more than agreed by the American Association of Retirees.
- If you fly to your destination and rent a car, think about the nearest airports. Different airports prices vary depending on the availability of the car.
- Prices for places outside the airport are usually much lower than at airports. Sometimes it’s economical to take a taxi or a bus to the nearest car rental outside the area and pick up a car there, and not pay for the convenience of a car rental location.
