Avis car rental coupon code: Save 20% on your Europe car rental this fall

I have long said that fall is absolutely one of the best times to visit Europe. With still agreeable weather, far fewer tourists, and lower prices on everything from airfare to hotels to car rentals, autumn is an ideal time to make the trip across the pond. Now Avis is giving travelers even more incentive to pack their bags and head to Europe this fall by offering a Fall Getaway promotion, which offers up to 20 percent off rentals for 3 days or longer in countries like France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the UK. Reservations must be made on or before October 30 for travel through December 13. Our lowest rates are online at Avis.com

Car Rental Discounts

The Avis car rental promotion is sure to save you some extra bucks if you are planning on renting a car in France, England or one of the other Western European countries. The New York Times did a little investigation and found that a three-day rental of a compact car with a manual transmission (like a VW Golf) picked up from and returned to Charles de Gaule airport will cost about $300 with the discount. This means once you’ve scored a deal on cheap tickets to Paris, you’ll also be hitting the streets in a rental car for less than you imagined.

To get the deal, you have to reserve you rental car before October 13 for travel through December 13 on Avis’ Europe web site. Use the coupon code G026000. You can also call Avis at 1-800-331-1084 and use the coupon code D808300.

Europe in Autumn

September and October in France have long been my favorite months to spend in the land of cheese and wine. With lots of great wine/grape harvest festivals happening around the country, these months can be an ideal time to explore the French wine country.

Autumn in Italy is also a lovely time to explore the vineyards or head to some of the areas plagued by hoards of tourists during the busy summer months. The end of September also marks Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany, and there are plenty of great Oktoberfest travel deals out there this year.

If you are still deciding whether you want to travel by train or by car when on your European vacation this month, you can always wait to decide before taking advantage of this Avis promotion. Unlike with flights and hotels, you can often still save money by booking a last-minute car rental.
