How to Get a Complimentary Upgrade on Rental Car
Posted by Nick on March 9, 2010
Rental car prices can be pretty outrageous – especially if you are renting from an airport location. If you are trying to save money by getting the cheapest car then you likely are having to book an economy size vehicle. What if you need a larger vehicle though?
You just might be able to get a free upgrade on that rental car!
Here are some tips on how you can get a complimentary upgrade on your rental car.
Look on the websites of all the rental car agencies to see if they have any free upgrade offers or coupon codes. If you can’t find any there try the forums at Fat Wallet and Slick Deals.
Order up an Entertainment Book ( Take an incredible 50% off all Entertainment Books plus get free shipping from 3/1/10-3/14/10! ) for the city you are visiting. Not only will you score some local coupons but also some national coupons for car rental agencies. One of those coupons just might be for a free upgrade.
Get yourself a credit card that has car rental upgrades as a perk. The American Express Platinum Card gives you free Hertz #1 Club Gold membership privileges. And that gets you complimentary rental car upgrades every time.
