Since rental cars can be expensive, I am always looking for new ways to save. \u00a0I recently found a Groupon <\/a>offer for Avis. \u00a0$20 for $40 to spend on a 2+day Avis rental. \u00a0I bought 2 – the limit – and wasn’t sure when I’d use them, but knew they’d probably come in handy.<\/p>\n

I recently decided to take a quick trip to Dallas – for reasons I’ll discuss in another post – and looked for low cost rental car options. \u00a0I did some quick searching and found cars at DFW for $27\/day +tax – not terrible for an airport location.<\/p>\n

\"cars<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I looked to see what price I could get using my Founders Card benefit at Avis. The rate using the Founders Card was $36\/day for a standard car (the cost of a standard was only .02 cents more than a compact car) – a savings of $4 off the advertised price. \u00a0Total price for the 2-day rental was $66.01<\/p>\n

\"avis-before\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I recalled the Groupon’s that I’d purchased. \u00a0I am an Avis First member, so I was happy to see this offer. When I applied the Groupon <\/a>I found the deal was even better than any of the other advertised deals I’d found. \u00a0The rate was $32\/day + taxes – $4 less than the Founders Card deal – bringing the rental to $60.90. \u00a0Applying the Groupon further reduced the rental to $20.90.<\/p>\n

\"Avis-after\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I paid $20 for the Groupon. Add on the $20.90 remaining on the rental and I’ll have spent $40.90 for two days or $20.45\/day. \u00a0That’s $7 better than any other deal I found. \u00a0 This was a great way for me to use this deal and I’m glad I scooped it up!<\/p>\n

There are only 6 days left (as of 10\/25\/13) to purchase this specific Groupon<\/a> deal. \u00a0I<\/p>\n
