What is a rental car upgrade coupon?
The concept of upgrades is nothing new - you will have hoped for it the last time you flew probably, wishing you would end up in first class when you paid for economy or if going on a cruise, you pay for an inside cabinet and get given an outside cabin for no extra money! Well a rental car upgrade coupon is the same principle. Typically when you hire a car, you have to choose between small, medium, large, executive, minivan and so on. Normally these car coupons are an alphanumeric code either on a paper voucher or on a webpage that when entered into the shopping cart on a car rental website, instructs the cart to charge you the amount equivalent to the car size down from your chosen car e.g. if you want a large car, you enter the code and pay the amount equivalent to the medium car.
How to get yourself the best deal:
If you use a car rental company frequently, pick up the phone and ask for an upgrade! It might sound radical in the age of the internet that you should actually speak to someone, but if they have a few spare higher spec cars, it is essentially no problem to them to give you a thank you loyalty bonus and give you an upgrade. Other places to look are...
To start looking for a rental car upgrade coupon there is obviously the good old search engines. Enter your keywords into the search box and surf away. Do not forget that there are specific websites for finding coupons not just for car rental but for a whole manner of items. Visit all the big car rental websites (e.g. Enterprise, Alamo, Thrifty, Avis, Hertz, etc) and see what offers they have - they will have the most up to date car rental upgrade coupons and so could be worth your time even though it takes a while to view them all.
If you have been happy with a car hire firm in the past, and were more than happy with the experience, check whether they run a loyalty scheme. It is much more costly for a company to advertise and find a new customer than it is to sell to an existing customer. Therefore they will be offering discounts, (maybe a car rental upgrade coupon) to try and keep you coming back for more! Finally, regarding previously used car hire companies, check your old booking information, sometimes there are car coupons attached to try and tempt you to rebook soon while the car rental company is fresh in your mind.
Finally, it is worth checking the membership perks from the large organizations (e.g. car clubs) you belong to. Often these groups can negotiate good deals with other companies as for both of them it is a win win situation. The organization delivers a more valuable members package and the car rental companies get to market to a group of people it may otherwise have had difficulty reaching.
Although a rental car upgrade coupon may be difficult to get your hands on, it is well worth spending some time on it as you will save a bundle of cash!
