Credit Card Guru Inquiry: Which Cards have Car Discount & With Which Rental Company?

Hey RFD,

I am not lazy, I have been looking into this myself, but it's a little bit hard to be honest. Wondering if there are any credit card gurus on here that can tell me off the top of their heads which of these cards have car rental discount, and with which rental agency(s)?

Thanks in advance everyone!!

Scotia AMEX Gold
RBC Westjet Mastercard
CIBC Tim Hortons Visa
MBNA World Elite Mastercard

Okay, question then, with the Scotia AMEX gold how are you getting the discount? Do we have a contract ID / coupon code to use?

Also, which rental agencies does AMEX Scotia version give you discounts for!! (any other experiences other than Avis?) Online it just mentions "Receive up to 25% off qualifying rentals with 131 companies worldwide".... so I little confusing on how to redeem.

Thank in advance!

I'm pretty sure BMO's World Elite does as well, with National and Alamo. Haven't used it yet as we just got the card.
We had CIBC's Aerogold, which had a discount with Avis and Budget. I'm guessing the same discount exists for CIBC's other annual fee cards?

RBC's travel site actually has some very decent car rental prices built into it. I don't know which travel engine that they are using but I am finding it alot cheaper than most!

And use a CC with free insurance of course
I agree, I do use all these tactics. Priceline is the best in my experience, but for anywhere remote/with low rental rates, name your price doesn't even apply.

What I'm wondering is CC's claim to give you 25% off the best list price. (IE) the Scotia AMEX gold. There is no contract or discount code that I can find. So how do you get the 25% off applied at 130+ rental agencies world wide"

TIA.

There are many codes out there, and it doesn't have to be a visa or mc code
