Great Eastern Travel Insurance Singapore Review: Covid-19, Promo, Premiums

Great Eastern’s travel insurance plans were once upon a time one of the most popular options in the market, but that was way back when everyone wore huge-ass shoulder pads. Now that the field has been disrupted by so many young upstarts, can the Red Lion still play the game?

Here’s how Great Eastern’s Covid-19 travel insurance coverage  measure up against popular competitors such as AIG, FWD, AXA, and NTUC’s travel insurance plans in 2022:

• Great Eastern Covid Travel Insurance: Summary
• Great Eastern Travel Insurance Covid-19 Coverage
• Disadvantages of Great Eastern Travel Insurance
• Extreme Sports & Outdoor Adventure
• Great Eastern Travel Insurance Claims
• Great Eastern Travel Insurance: Promo Code
• Great Eastern Travel Insurance Review

1. Great Eastern Covid Travel Insurance: Premiums

In the past, Great Eastern travel insurance was sold under 2 brands: Great Eastern Travel E@sy and Great Eastern TravelSmart – both have since been taken off the market.

Great Eastern TravelSmart was still available for purchase as recent as March 2022, when Covid-19 travel were just about easing and “cruise to nowhere” was all the rage. Back then, you may have bought a Great Eastern TravelSmart Basic which was the cheapest travel insurance variant covering you for cruises, Bintan, Batam etc. However, thanks to the rapidly changing global travel restrictions, these travel insurance plans come and go so quickly. Great Eastern TravelSmart is no longer available.

Instead, it’s been replaced by Great Eastern TravelSmart Premier , which comes in 3 plan tiers:

Here is a summary table of the Great Eastern TravelSmart Premier travel insurance’s premiums, benefits, and key coverage:

Note:  Premiums are based on single-trip to South Korea (Asia), and Switzerland (Worldwide) for 7 days during the September school holidays 2022.

Travel insurance plans’ premiums are usually priced according to the country you’re travelling to. While these countries are usually presented neatly in a table so you can figure out your premiums, Great Eastern does not state any of the countries nor their premiums transparently – which is a turn off.

Instead, you have to key your country of destination into their website to check the premiums one by one. Here, we’ve checked a list of 3 to 7 day single-trip premiums for all us Singaporeans’ favourite holidaying spots:

• Malaysia : $19 Basic, $47 Classic, $56 Elite
• Bintan : $19 Basic, $47 Classic, $56 Elite
• Indonesia : $47 Classic, $56 Elite
• Thailand : $47 Classic, $56 Elite
• Vietnam : $47 Classic, $56 Elite
• Cambodia : $47 Classic, $56 Elite
• Hong Kong : $47 Classic, $56 Elite
• South Korea:  $65 Classic, $75 Elite
• Japan:  $65 Classic, $75 Elite
• India:  $65 Classic, $75 Elite
• Australia:  $65 Classic, $75 Elite
• Bhutan : $99 Classic, $118 Elite
• Maldives : $99 Classic, $118 Elite
• Germany : $99 Classic, $118 Elite
• London/ UK:  $99 Classic, $118 Elite
• Paris/ France:  $99 Classic, $118 Elite
• USA :$99 Classic, $118 Elite

2. Great Eastern Travel Insurance’s Covid-19 Coverage

Although Great Eastern’s TravelSmart Premier travel insurance comes in 3 tier plans – Basic, Classic, and Elite – Covid-19 coverage is not offered in the Basic plan. Only the Great Eastern TravelSmart Premier Classic and Elite plans give you Covid-19 coverage.

Here’s a summary of Great Eastern travel insurance’s Covid-19 coverage:

Some other things to note about Great Eastern’s travel insurance:

• Pre-Trip Covid-19 Coverage : If you test Covid-19 positive 30 days before your departure date and need to cancel or postpone your trip, Great Eastern’s Covid-19 travel insurance will cover your travel fares, hotel accommodation, entertainment tickets.
• During Trip Covid-19 Coverage : From the day you test Covid-19 positive overseas, you’ll be covered for 90 days. Your travel insurance plan will also be automatically be extended for 30 days for free.
• Post-Trip Covid-19 Coverage : If you get Covid-19 only after you land in Singapore, you will not be covered.

Honestly, Great Eastern travel insurance’s Covid-19 coverage pales in comparison to competitors’ such as Sompo’s Covid-19 travel insurance which offers a higher $100,000 to $200,000 in Covid-19 medical expenses coverage and emergency medical evacuation, and $2,000 to $4,000 in trip postponement claims.

All these are important – higher Covid-19 medical expense coverage means you can be assured that even if you’re sent to an expensive private hospital for Covid-19. Likewise, do not overlook the emergency medical evacuation coverage. If you came down with a really bad case of Covid-19, the doctors deemed you unfit for normal flight, and you need to be medically flown back to Singapore, the bill could easily come up to $200,000 or $300,000.

Not shitting you, it’s real. I’ve had a friend who was stuck in the US ’cause she was unfit to fly. Google “fundraiser for Singapore medical evacuation” to see more real-life examples.

Like Sompo travel insurance, Great Eastern travel insurance does not offer post-trip Covid-19 coverage . So if you’re back in Singapore and test positive for Covid-19, that’s on you.

3. Great Eastern Travel Insurance: Disadvantages

There are some caveats to Great Eastern’s travel insurance and Covid-19 coverage that you need to take note of. For example, don’t make the mistake of buying your travel insurance only at the airport’s boarding area, just before your flight. Most travel insurance plans have waiting periods as well:

• Short Trips Only:  Your trip cannot be longer than 90 days
• Covid-19 Coverage : Only included in Classic and Elite plans
• No Air Miles, Hotel Reward Points : If you’re planning to use air miles, reward points to redeem your flight and hotel tickets, these tickets won’t be covered by your Great Eastern (GE) travel insurance
• Buy Early:  There’s a 7-day waiting period before your GE travel insurance plan kicks in
• First and Business Class: Your travel tickets will only be covered up to economy class ticket’s price bracket
• Flight Delay caused by the airline or government (due to Covid-19 regulations) is not claimable
• No post-trip Covid-19 coverage
• No coverage for pre-existing conditions

As with all travel insurance, you need to prove that you have tried to call your hotel and airlines to get a flight ticket exchange or refund to no avail. Only then will your travel insurance be able to cover your additional expenses.

4. Travel Insurance For Extreme Sports & Outdoor Activities

A great advantage of the Great Eastern travel insurance is its comprehensive coverage of extreme sports and outdoor activities adventure. You’ll need to get the Classic or Elite plan, and you must be engaging in these outdoor adventure activities in a leisure or recreational way with licensed guides and instructors. That means you cannot be a professional bungee jumper trying to win a competition.

Here are the outdoor adventurous activities that are covered by Great Eastern travel insurance:

5. Travel Insurance Claim Great Eastern

Dealing with travel insurance claims is not the easiest thing . You’re back in Singapore, just ended a wonderful holiday with great memories, got lots of clothes to wash, and a million MS Teams messages from your boss – absolutely not in the mood to sort paperwork for travel insurance claims .

Before you depart for your trip, make sure you have all your flight bookings, tour agency receipts, and hotel and Airbnb receipts printed in a file that you can use for any claims. If you’re bringing any high-value laptops, expensive cameras, or expensive Rimowa luggages along, dig out those receipts and leave it in the file, too. Just do it and leave it on your dining table.

• Fall sick, get into an accident, get Covid-19 : Call Great Eastern’s hotline at +65 6339 2155 (24-hour Emergency Assistance). Document the entire accident process (your wounds), your hospitalisation, and DEMAND for all documents detailing your diagnosis, your medicine, hospitalisation stay, and the bills. Go over the top. You need all sorts of evidence to prove to the old geezers sitting in the Claims Department that your leg indeed broke while you were sightseeing in Jeju Island and not Bukit Timah Hill.
• Lost item or Theft : Report loss of item and theft to local police within 24 hours, get a copy of the printed report
• Lost item or Theft in airplane, hotel, DisneyLand, etc. : Also make a report to your airline, tour bus company, hotel, amusement park etc… wherever you lost it, get a copy of the report in print
• Original Receipts : Go home, dig out all the original documents and receipts for your loss or stolen items
• Download and Print Claims Form : For Great Eastern, all their forms need to be downloaded, printed, filled in, and mailed to their GE office in Singapore. Here is the Great Eastern travel insurance claim form .
• Submit Claims : Submit all your travel-related documents, flight tickets, hotel bookings, PLUS your claims documents to Great Eastern via snail mail. Afterwards, call their general hotline 1800-248-2888 to check on the status of your claims. The address is:

(Attention: General Insurance Claims Department) Great Eastern General Insurance Limited, 1 Pickering Street, #01-01 Great Eastern Centre, Singapore 048659

6. Great Eastern Travel Insurance Promo

At the moment, there is no ongoing travel insurance promotion for Great Eastern.

There is, however, a $100 gift credit that you can make use of to get 10% off your travel insurance premium. You’ll have to download the Great Eastern Rewards mobile app, and sign in. Then, you’ll get $100 credits in your wallet.

But Great Eastern is a little sneaky… you can only offset a maximum of 10% of your premium at any point in time. So, if your GE travel insurance premium cost you $65, that’s $6.50 in discount. Yes, Great Eastern TravelSmart Premier is eligible for this promotion.

7. Great Eastern Travel Insurance Review

Should you buy Great Eastern travel insurance ? If you’re planning a trip to Niseko to skii, Bungee jumping in Seminyak Bali , or scuba diving in the Philippines, you’ll be glad to know that Great Eastern’s travel insurance is great for recreational extreme sports and adventures such as hiking and trekking.

The basic coverage for GE’s Travel Smart Classic and Elite plans aren’t terrible, but they’re not really that high. It covers all your needs sufficiently, e.g. medical expenses in overseas hospitals, medical evacuation back to Singapore, baggage delay, and loss .

Great Eastern travel insurance’s Covid-19 coverage is, again, the bare minimum with $50,000 Classic and $150,000 Elite medical expense coverage for you when you get hospitalised overseas for Covid-19. The daily $50 or $100 Covid quarantine or hospitalisation allowance is great, but it is capped at 14 days.

However, the trip cancellation, postponement, and disruption coverage is pretty low at $1,000, $3,000, and $5,000 – and may be insufficient to cover the now-exorbitant airfares.

But perhaps the biggest deal breaker is the terribly outdated claims process . Hey Great Eastern, 1995 called. They want your insurance claims procedure back.

• TravelSmart Premier Basic is competitively priced for single trips
• Offers adventurous leisure activities and golf coverage
• Basic plan is only available for Malaysia
• Elite plan is expensive for ASEAN travellers but offers below average medical coverage

Great Eastern’s TravelSmart Premier stands out for offering affordable basic-tier travel insurance plans, both single and annual, to Malaysia. At just S$26 for a 1-week trip and S$261 for an annual insurance plan, the cost for the TravelSmart Premier Basic plan is below the industry average.

However, the basic-tier plan is a no-frills plan which does not have COVID-19 and Adventurous Leisure Activities coverage, and customers looking for more coverage would have to go for higher-end plans.

Great Eastern Travel Insurance: What You Need to Know

Great Eastern's travel insurance may disappoint those who are looking for cheap or high-value plans due to its mostly uncompetitive premiums and limited COVID-19 coverage. Depending on the destination and level of coverage you need, you can choose from the TravelSmart Premier Basic, Classic or Elite plan.

The TravelSmart Premier Basic plan offers basic medical, terrorism, trip inconvenience and golf coverage. However, the basic-tier plan can be purchased for Malaysia only and does not include COVID-19 coverage. Those looking to purchase travel insurance to other countries must select either the Classic or Elite plans, both of which cost considerably above average.

Additionally, though Great Eastern offers adventure leisure activities cover, they are only available for the Classic or Elite plan.

Even with these additional benefits, it is difficult to recommend Great Eastern's travel insurance to the average consumer who wants to maximise value.

Great Eastern TravelSmart Premier Basic

The Great Eastern TravelSmart Premier Basic plan has the potential of standing out by being the only Malaysia/Batam/Bintan plan that is available for annual coverage.

However, in exchange for the low premium, there is no COVID-19 coverage or Adventurous Leisure Activities coverage.

In addition, the Great Eastern Travel Premier Basic plan is only available for Malaysia and users have to select between Classic and Elite plans for other destinations.

Great Eastern's TravelSmart Premier Classic plan is quite expensive for the coverage it provides, giving consumers a low value plan and leaving those who either want top coverage or great prices unimpressed.

Although it includes adventurous leisure activities coverage—which may seem like a great deal at first because most other plans charge extra for these benefits—other mid-tier plans still end up being cheaper even with the extra cost to add on these sports coverages.

The Classic Plan's medical and personal accident coverage is also below average and its cancellation, trip delays, baggage loss and baggage delay coverage hover around the mid-tier average.

Great Eastern's Elite plan is similar to the Classic plan in terms of who it would—or wouldn't—attract.

For ASEAN travellers, it is one the most expensive options costing 15% above average. For trips to Asia and Global destinations, its prices are around average. However, the Elite Plan's medical coverage is around half of what most top-tier plans offer. Additionally, just like the classic plan, it also includes adventurous leisure activities and golf cover, terrorism cover and home contents cover.

If you are looking for a top-tier plan because you want the best coverage possible for your trip, then we would recommend Allianz, as they have extremely high medical and travel inconvenience coverage, and include all of the extra benefits Great Eastern includes such as sports, golf, jewellery and home contents coverage.

Notable Exclusions

Great Eastern has the standard exclusions for TravelSmart Premier plans, including no cover for events relating to pre-existing conditions, war, mental disorders and pregnancy.

Great Eastern offers fairly comprehensive golfer's coverage that includes equipment, unused green fees and hole-in-one. You will additionally be covered for medical and accident expenses occurring from leisure adventurous activity if you buy either the Classic or Elite plans. The sports covered include helicopter rides, jet skiing, mountaineering (below 3,000 metres), paragliding, parasailing, skiing/snowboarding, skydiving and underwater activities up to a depth of 30 metres.

To submit a claim with Great Eastern, you can either contact their emergency services number (in case of an emergency while on your trip), contact your insurance adviser or mail a claim form along with the appropriate documents.

7 Best Cheap Travel Insurance Companies in April 2024

Many or all of the products featured here are from our partners who compensate us. This influences which products we write about and where and how the product appears on a page. However, this does not influence our evaluations. Our opinions are our own. Here is a list of our partners and here's how we make money .

Finding the cheapest travel insurance is often a priority for travelers hoping to protect themselves and their finances while away from home.

But is it better to err on the side of affordable travel insurance or opt for a more comprehensive plan? That depends on your needs .

On average, a comprehensive plan that covers some combination of trip cancellation and interruption costs, medical coverage and baggage protection (and perhaps a number of other things) will cost you 5%-10% of what you paid for the trip, according to NerdWallet partner Squaremouth, a travel insurance marketplace.

That means a comprehensive policy for a trip that costs you $3,000 could run you anywhere between $150 and $300. Factors like the cost and length of your trip, the age of the travelers and how much protection you want can significantly influence what you pay for your plan.

Ultimately, Squaremouth recommends “the least expensive policy that offers the coverage [travelers] need.”

Factors we considered when picking cheap travel insurance plans

We considered a few factors as we looked for the most affordable travel insurance plans.

Price: If your goal is to find cheaper travel insurance, you want the price to be affordable.

Breadth of coverage: The best budget travel insurance is typically going to be a plan that offers a wide range of protections at an affordable cost, ensuring you’re protected with at least some coverage for a wide range of scenarios.

Uniqueness or customizability : While many travel insurance plans have similar protections, some stand out for particular coverage that can be helpful to certain travelers, like those needing to Cancel For Any Reason , those going on a cruise, or travelers with preexisting health conditions. We didn’t spring for the priciest plans with broad, deep coverage; instead, we picked those that meet a sort of budget "sweet spot" when it comes to cost efficiency.

An overview of the best cheap travel insurance plans

We looked at travel insurance quotes for a hypothetical 10-day trip to Italy in October 2023. The traveler is a 40-year-old man living in North Carolina who spent $2,000 on the trip, including airfare.

Reliable but cheap travel insurance providers

1. axa assistance usa (silver plan: $70).

Why we picked it:

The $500 missed connection benefit is great for cruise and tour participants. It covers additional transportation, accommodations and meal costs when you miss a cruise or tour departure.

Full trip cancellation and interruption coverage, along with up to $25,000 for out-of-pocket medical costs and baggage coverage.

Among the lowest prices we found.

If you’re willing to spend a bit more than AXA's $70 Silver plan, a Gold plan only costs $19 more and gets you deeper coverage amounts and up to $35,000 in collision rental car insurance.

2. Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection (ExactCare Value plan: $56)

Cheapest plan we found while still offering a wide array of protections.

Includes a preexisting medical condition waiver.

Add-on rental car collision coverage optional for $10 per day. You can pick how many days you want the additional coverage — it’s not all or nothing.

At $56, this plan comes in at less than 3% of the $2,000 trip cost.

3. IMG (iTravelInsured Lite plan: $77)

Treats COVID-19 like any other illness, which is to say, if your claim accepts flu, strep throat or appendicitis as an acceptable, covered condition, the coronavirus is, too.

Covers costs related to trip interruption up to 125% 

Higher than normal limits on dental expenses, at $1,000. If your teeth are your Achilles heel (or your biggest fear), this plan might be for you.

The iTravelInsured Lite plan doesn’t offer some of the bells and whistles that other plans do, like rental car coverage , Cancel For Any Reason coverage or waivers for pre-existing conditions. But you’ll have relatively solid across-the-board trip protections.

4. John Hancock (Silver plan: $93 for a mid-tier plan)

Mid-level plan (as opposed to a basic plan) at an affordable price for travelers who want more coverage without paying too much.

Includes an optional Cancel For Any Reason add-on for travelers wanting flexibility. It is a bit pricey, at half the cost of the insurance ($46.50 extra for a $93 plan).

Reimburses up to $1,000 for lost baggage , far more than many basic plans.

Add-on rental car coverage for $9 per day.

At $88, John Hancock’s basic (Bronze) plan isn’t particularly affordable. But for just $4 extra, you can tap into the benefits of a mid-tier plan at still less than 5% of the total trip cost.

5. Nationwide (Essential plan: $76)

Includes a preexisting conditions waiver.

Add-on rental car coverage for $90. 

Covers trip interruption at 125% of the trip cost while providing comprehensive emergency medical and baggage coverage.

6. Seven Corners (Basic plan: $75)

On top of standard trip protections, it includes a relatively affordable Cancel For Any Reason option for $31.50 extra.

If you plan to rent expensive sporting equipment, you might consider paying $10 extra to cover lost, damaged, stolen or destroyed gear.

COVID-19 coverage reimburses you for costs incurred if you have to quarantine .

Rental car coverage comes in at an affordable $7 per day.

Seven Corners’ Basic plan stands out because it offers a little bit of everything, appealing to athletic travelers, those who need affordable trip protections, those who want the flexibility to cancel for any reason and those still concerned about getting quarantined due to COVID-19.

7. Travelex Insurance Services (Basic plan: $71)

Straightforward: What you see is what you get. This plan’s coverage has fewer rules and caveats than many. 

While not sporting the highest coverage amounts, it offers a solid range of protections to ensure you get at least something back when your travel is disrupted or you have a medical emergency.

Offers add-on rental car coverage for $10 per day.

At $71, the Travelex Basic plan’s cost is just over 3% of the $2,000 trip’s cost.

If you want to get travel insurance at the cheapest possible rate, here’s a trick. Put $0 as your trip cost, Stan Stanberg, co-founder of comparison site Travelinsurance.com said in an email.

“When excluding trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage the cost of a travel insurance plan goes down significantly,” Stanberg said.

That means you won’t get reimbursed if you need to cancel your trip or if it gets interrupted. But you may still have access to the plan’s medical, trip delay , missed connection, baggage and other protections.

You’ll often find comprehensive travel insurance plans cost 5%-10% of your total trip cost, according to Squaremouth. This will often get you full trip cancellation and trip protection, baggage protection, emergency medical coverage and often other benefits.

Typically, the more you pay, the broader and deeper the coverage.

For many plans, you can purchase travel insurance up until you depart. However, to get access to the most protections possible, booking two days to two weeks after making your initial deposit is the best rule of thumb.

That means you won’t get reimbursed if you need to cancel your trip or if it gets interrupted. But you may still have access to the plan’s medical,

, missed connection, baggage and other protections.

Do I Need Travel Insurance?

You’re a savvy traveler. So you probably understand that even for travelers such as yourself, sometimes the best-laid plans can fall apart. Life happens.

However, you might be wondering if Travel Insurance is really necessary and what type of benefits it offers. At GET, we tell travelers that having a Travel Protection Plan is a security blanket for when the unexpected happens, and having one serves to protect your vacation investment from life’s unexpected events.

Travel Protection Plans often cover a variety of things. They’re a popular choice for travelers, with the U.S. Travel Insurance Association estimating more than 1.9 billion dollars are spent annually on such plans.

Our Travel Protection Plans

Get the flexibility to cancel your trip for ANY reason, up to 24 hours before departure.

More than 80% of our travel guests opt for Travel Protection through GET. Here’s what the plan includes:

• Trip Cancellation:  Many travelers prefer to book their experience many months, sometimes up to a year or more, in advance. With a trip cancellation through Grand European Tours travel plans, you can cancel up to 48 hours prior to your trip without losing the money you’ve already spent.
• Trip Interruption: This clause applies either when you’re already on your trip, but need to leave for home before its completion or when unforeseen circumstances cause you to arrive at your vacation location late. These interruptions are generally the result of unexpected health or medical incidents, family emergencies back home, or travel complications. A condition in your travel insurance package that covers trip interruption can help get you home fast, and potentially refund part of the cost of the trip that you’re forced to leave.
• Baggage Loss or Delay :  Every traveler’s worse nightmare is lost baggage. No clothes or toiletries and no time to wait for the bag to surface can ruin the spirit of your trip. This clause, in many travel protection plans, will allow a daily spending surplus in order to help you replace the items you need in order to enjoy your trip.
• Medical & Emergency Assistance: Having US-based health and medical insurance doesn’t mean much when you’re traveling to other countries. Often these policies are outright refused by international providers or, if they are accepted, claims are likely to be denied by the agency once filed back home. This can add up to a crippling bill. Travel and protection plans offer medical coverage that will cover unexpected medical costs while abroad.

You Can’t Control Everything

Even with these attractive features, you may find yourself thinking that travel protection is simply something you wouldn’t utilize. Many travelers feel as though, fever or fair weather, they won’t miss their trip. That’s fair, but you may also want to consider the unlikely event that things outside of your control can cause your trip to be interrupted.

For example, the weather is simply unpredictable. When you’re traveling from afar just to get to the starting point of your trip, you will be traveling across thousands of miles and several weather systems to reach the start of your trip. It is not unlikely that you’ll encounter foul weather somewhere along the route. This could lead to delayed or canceled flights that mean a missed connection or missing the start of your trip. In these cases, travel protection plans are ideal for covering your accommodations for trip interruption.

In addition, while it’s not a topic we like to think about while planning a grand adventure, some parts of the world are more subject to civil unrest or acts of violence than the US. In the rare occasion in which something like this were to occur, your travel could be canceled or rerouted. Or, you may have second thoughts about traveling to an area that’s recently experienced a major incident. With travel protection, you could be covered to cancel that trip without losing your investment.

In any case, accepting that you can’t control everything is a good reason to opt for travel protection.

Feel Free to Compare Plans

Just like choosing your trip, you might feel that you want to do your own research on different plans, and that’s okay.

Reputable companies will make their plans readily and easily available for review online. The best companies will even offer a “review” period wherein you can cancel your trip protection policy within a specified period of time (usually a day or two) from purchase for a full refund.

You should also look into if the coverages of the plan will truly benefit you. Some travelers have incredible health insurance that will cover them while abroad, and that certainly warrants a call to your individual provider. However, as stated above, it will do you little good to have a plan at home that agrees to cover your medical expenses abroad, if the medical facilities abroad refuse to accept your US-based plan.

Finally, consider how simple is it to claim your benefits, and how quickly can you receive them. You should seek out plans with access to 24/7 assistance, a key point of the Grand European’s Travel Protection Plan, as well as a solid, outlined process complete with timelines for reimbursement or compensation in the instance of lost or delayed baggage and costs associated with trip interruption.

It’s acceptable to ask questions before opting in on a plan. The goal of travel protection is to offer peace of mind, so feel free to ask questions and voice concerns.

The Best Avis AWD Codes & Discounts: The Guide to Saving with Avis!

Everything you need to know about Avis Discount Codes & Corporate Rates!

What is an Avis AWD Code?

Avis awd codes and coupon codes, avis corporate codes, avis corporate code for milepro readers, avis student and alumni discounts, how to apply the avis discount codes, the avis loyalty program – avis preferred, join the loyalty club, rental with a premium credit card, rent off airport, don’t prepay for gas, consider booking through an airline portal, ways to save with other rental car companies, frequently asked questions.

Looking to save on your next Avis Car Rental?   It’s easy, you just have to understand how Avis Car Rental discount codes work, specifically, the Avis AWD code.

All the major car rental companies offer deals, promotions, and discounts.  But they all do it a little differently and they don’t make the best discounts publicly available.

Don’t worry, we did a little research to help you out.  Here is your guide to saving a lot of money on your next Avis car rental .

An Avis AWD Code is the discount code Avis uses to apply to your rental.  It’s an abbreviation for the “Avis Worldwide Discount” program and includes limited-time offers, corporate discount codes, discounts for using a particular credit card, or a discount and bonus offer combined with an Avis Travel Partner .

When making your reservation you will see that Avis has a separate field for the AWD Code # and the Coupon Code #.   You will often be able to “stack” a discount and bonus offer by using both an AWD Code and a Coupon Code.  Just enter or paste the code number in the box and the discount and offer will automatically be applied.

Here is a list of some popular Avis AWD Codes.

Avis AWD codes are different from Avis coupon codes.   You can stack AWD numbers with coupon codes but cannot add multiple AWD numbers or multiple coupon codes.  As you will see in the table below, the coupon codes are just ok, the AWD codes are where you save money.  I would find the best AWD code and then, apply one of these coupon codes on top of it to see if you get an even better discount.   It may not provide any further discount but doesn’t hurt to try.

Corporate codes are heavily discounted rates negotiated between a company and Avis. These are a great way to save on car rentals, but you need to be very careful when using them.

Specifically, you need to make sure you’re eligible to use a corporate code before applying it to your next car rental.  There are a lot of risks associated with using a code that you don’t qualify for.  To begin with, you’ll most likely be asked for identification to prove you’re associated with the company whose code you’re using. If you can’t prove you are associated with that organization, there’s a good chance your rental will be denied.

Even more important, if you get into a car accident, you could have a big issue with your insurance claim if the rental is tied to a corporate account and their business insurance. Often times the claim will go back to the company with the negotiated rate, not to you. This could mean huge delays in getting reimbursement and possibly a claim denial.

I used to publish the most popular Avis corporate codes on this page but was asked to take them down since people using them that were not qualified and were getting denied at the rental counter, as well as having other problems.

The good news is that Avis decided to partner with us and provide a special “milepro corporate code” that anyone can use.

Most Avis AWD codes require you to “prepay” to get the best discount. I don’t like prepaying for anything, so this code will let you either pay now or pay later. The discount is up to 25% off of “pay later” rates and up to 30% off “pay now” rates.

I think it’s better to take a slightly lower discount and not have to prepay for the car. That makes life much easier if you have to cancel for any reason. Check it out below.

If you work for a major corporation, especially one that has a lot of travelers (IBM, Deloitte, E&Y, Accenture, etc..), make sure you contact your Human Resources or Corporate Travel Department as the savings can be huge when using these codes. Please just make sure you are associated with the company and qualified to use them!

If you do have a code from your company, go to the Avis Booking Page to apply the discount code that applies to you.  Detailed instructions for entering the code are below.

Another way to get a discounted corporate code with Avis is to check and see if your College or University has either an alumni deals page or a student benefits page that offers car rental discounts.  As an MSU Spartan alumni, I have access to discounts with Avis, Enterprise, Hertz, and National – the discounts can range from 10-30%.

In this case, the MSU Corporate code for Avis is D134118 and it provides a very good discount.  Do a quick google search on your university and see what discounts you can come up with.

Before using one of these codes, double-check and make sure you are allowed to use these University Discount Codes on personal rentals.   Some codes are published for business travel only, while others can be used for personal rentals.  In some cases, the rental car company provides a separate code for personal use and business use.

It’s very easy to apply the Avis AWD and Coupon codes.

• Enter your pick-up and drop-off location and the date you want to rent.
• Click on the Discount Code tab which will reveal the boxes to enter both the AWD code as well as the Coupon code.
• Click the “Select My Car” button and your rental options with discounted rates will be displayed.

Like most major car rental companies, Avis has a complimentary loyalty program, Avis Preferred.   When you sign up for Avis Preferred you will receive faster reservations and rentals every time.

Avis Preferred

The benefits of the Avis Preferred Program include:

• Enjoy expedited service and go straight to your car at most locations.
• Accelerate your rewards by opting into Avis Preferred Points. Receive points for every qualifying dollar you spend.  Redeem for rentals, accessories, and upgrades.
• Keep rental preferences on file and track your activity and rewards.
• Exclusive monthly email offers.
• The more you rent with Avis, the closer you are to Avis Preferred Plus providing even more benefits.

Avis Preferred Plus

Frequent Avis renters can earn Avis Preferred Plus Status:

• Avis Preferred members who complete 12 rentals or spend $5,000 (USD) on base rentals plus optional products within a calendar year, will automatically earn Avis Preferred Plus status.
• Members who achieve Avis Preferred Plus status can receive a complimentary single-car class upgrade upon availability in addition to other special benefits.
• Members who are also opted into Avis Preferred Points can earn 25% more points on qualifying rentals and optional product spending.
• Within Avis Preferred Plus, members who complete 25 rentals or spend $7,000 (USD) in a calendar year and opted into Avis Preferred Points can earn 50% more points on qualifying rentals and optional product spending.

It only takes a minute to sign up.  Here is the Avis Preferred Registration Link …

Other Ways to Save on Your Next Avis Car Rental

Car Rental Discount Codes are not the only way to save when you rent a car.  Here are a couple of other tips to consider when renting your next car.

This is a no-brainer.  Joining the Avis loyalty program is free and only takes a couple of minutes to sign up.  Once you are a member, you can get great perks, free rental days, and free upgrades.

Premier credit cards, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Reserve card, have rental car insurance benefits include which will allow you to bypass the added insurance fees the car companies will try to get you to purchase.   Make sure your credit card offers “primary” rental car insurance coverage.  My Sapphire Preferred Card saved me when I had an accident in Italy .

I am not a huge fan of this option, since it can be quite an inconvenience.  However, you can save quite a bit by renting outside of the airport and avoiding all of the added fees that come with renting at the airport.

It’s easy to get sucked into thinking that the lower-priced prepaid gas is a good deal.  It isn’t.   When you prepay for gas you are paying for a full tank.  The odds of you using every last bit of gas before you return are very low.   Fill the tank up several miles outside the airport and you will be better off.

Many major airlines have partnerships with rental car companies, offering drivers discounts, the ability to earn miles, and more when you book the car rental through their portal.

You can also book a vacation package through your airline.  Any time you can package your flight with a car rental and/or hotel stay, there is an opportunity for additional savings.

Avis Rental Car “Rack Rates” are extremely expensive.  Hopefully, this article gave you some good ideas to save on your next trip.

If you don’t want to rent from Avis, here are some ways to save with the other major rental car companies:

• Alamo – The Best Alamo Discount Codes
• Budget – The Best BCD Codes to Save with Budget
• Enterprise – The Best Enterprise Discount Codes or Enterprise Weekend Special Deals
• Hertz – The Best CDP Codes to Save with Hertz
• National – The Best National Discount Codes
