Topic Wiki

You get free days by renting. Emerald member gets a free day for every 7 rentals, executive every 6 and EE every 5.

Dont forget, there are other ways to earn free days.

Here's the breakdown of the program:
A) Each qualifying rental earns 300 points.
B) A free day is earned with 600 points.

C) Other ways to earn points, here's some of the ones from last years promo:
1] You are able to get 75 points (can be earned x4) for making a rental using the mobile app.
2] 250 points for pre-paying gas (x1)
3] 250 points for renting from a neighborhood location (x1).
HT: lubaby

Regular free days (not the ones from the special promo) expire on December 31 of the year following the year in which they were earned.

All types of free days work on one-way rentals.

PSA - If you are buying a free day from someone make sure you are an emerald member.
Without this they won't allow you to use the coupon.


How to convert

Converting a free day to a coupon code requires a quick call to CS, asking them to gift the free day.
You can use a second email and have them send it there (they ask for name and email). The code isn't tied to any name.
Alternatively you may be able to ask them to send it directly to you so you can deliver the gift etc. they usually send it to both the email given and your account email.

The official limit is 3 conversions per calendar year.

Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

I might get chewed out for asking, but how many free rental days can be used in one rental? In fairness I read the wiki and the first 8 pages of the thread before I gave up. I am going to OGG in January and was hoping to use hertz passes but they've pretty much dried up completely. Hoping to use 10 days but could take up to 15 and get two cars. Hoping for a discount for size. Let me know. Thanks!

Does anyone know if fees/taxes are included with these coupons? Specifically at SLC.

A regular reservation seems to have ~$50 in fees/taxes on top of the daily fee at SLC.

Most of it is included. There will be the $5 daily fee here and drop of taxes. A random day I just searched there is showing $6.30 using a free day.

Yes and none that I'm aware of. If a car is bookable for pickup , a free day can be used (excluding Manhattan locations).

I bought a coupon here and am not an emerald member.
They wouldn't honor the coupon - I had to pay full price.
Any data points if I signed up now can I try to add the coupon back before I return the car?
(The rep said I had to be a member before time of rental).
Anyone had experience with this.

Who wouldn't honor it? What does your email confirmation show?

The coupon is supposed to be applied when you make the reservation..

Usually you add the coupon at the time of reservation

I did add the coupon at reservation and it worked.
But when I picked up the car they were not able to give the car free "as you are not an emerald member - the system won't allow".
So I signed up now, and am wondering if anyone has had luck adding the code at time of return.
