Rental car group rate

Pickles, on April 17, 2017 at 10:46 AM Posted in Planning 0 11

Did anyone request a rental car group rate from a rental car company? Many of my guests will need a rental car as the venue is about 40 minutes from the airport and over half are from out of state. What rental car company did you use? Did you go through the corporate office or the airport location? What was the discount? Thanks!

    I wasn't aware this was a thing.

    I know for hotels it is, but not for cars.

    Car rental is based on what they can rent at the airport. Call around.

    I came across a wedding website while searching for hotel blocks where my wedding is located that stated they had a group rate for Budget car rentals (Orlando airport, the closest airport to my venue). The wedding website had a coupon code you could use while booking. I was wondering how much of a discount they could really give...I will call Budget and see if this is a thing.

    @Susan some of my guests are using our wedding as an Orlando vacation so they will definitely need a rental car

    I hadn't thought about this but it would be great if they did offer something like that. I also have at least half of the guest list from OOT.

    Even if you negotiated a discount I can't imagine it's any better than a AAA rate or affinity group rate. If im a guest going to a wedding I don't expect the bride and groom to figure out my rental car for me. It's a nice thing to do, but not a necessary thing.

    After some googling I did find a form on Budget's website to request a wedding group rate. I will update when they get back to me.

    @CoffeeNColor I am not sure they can do better than those discounts either but that is why I wanted to ask around before giving out my info. Since I didn't get any feedback, I figured I would give it a shot and see what I could get.

    I just found this for budget:

    Also I will say that my mom has used carrental8.com a couple of times and has gotten some really good prices from that and said she found it for like $10 a day for the weekend of my wedding.

    I called to get info for OOT friends. No discount was given. We put the info on a detail card when we sent out the save-the-dates.

    Hi there,

    Came across this thread while googling this exact questions Smiley smile @Pickles - were you able to get a wedding group discount through Budget? Really interested to see how this worked out! Our venue is 2-3 hrs from Chicago and would love to offer this up for our OOT guests.

    I would also like to do this for our guests. They will have to drive 3 hours from San Francisco to our venue near Yosemite. I saw Avis, Hertz, and Enterprise all seem to have a group discount program. Would love to hear others’ experiences.
