The cheapest way to buy Avis as a veteran

The military discount is not always the lowest price. Compare it with these before you buy.

Avis' public Pay Now offer also advertises up to 35 percent off time and mileage, the same ceiling as the WeSalute+ rate. Quote the same car and dates with and without the WeSalute+ number, and count the subscription cost. Up to 35 percent off a hypothetical $200 time and mileage charge saves up to $70 before taxes and fees.

The WeSalute+ terms say the rate cannot be combined with any other AWD number, promotion or offer. Avis' general coupon page says one AWD number can pair with one coupon, so confirm the final price before you pay.

Exchange availability was not confirmed. Do not assume the same product or offer is available there.
