Avis Free Day Promo

You can earn a free Avis rental day when you register for the offer and complete a pair of 2-day rentals with Avis through February 28, 2025.

You’ll need an Avis Preferred account before registering for the program. To join Avis Preferred, you simply need to sign up online. You will then get an Avis Wizard Number, which your Avis Preferred membership number. You can use this number to log in to your account once enrolled.

What To Know About the Avis Preferred Program

Avis Preferred is Avis’ loyalty program. Like many car rental companies, the program is revenue-based, so you’ll earn points based on how much you spend. Then, you can use those points for free rentals, upgrades, and accessories.

As a base member, you will earn:

  • 1x points for every $1 spent on a rental
  • 2x points for every $1 spent on accessories like SiriusXM Radio, child safety seats, and more

Avis has 3 levels of elite status: Avis Preferred, Avis Preferred Plus, and Avis President’s Club. The higher you progress through the program, the more perks you’ll earn. For instance, top-tier President’s Club members receive perks such as a free 2-car class upgrade when reserving a midsize or above (when available) and guaranteed availability of up to a full-size car with a confirmed reservation at least 24 hours in advance.

Even if you don’t drive rentals often, you may have Avis Preferred status without even knowing it. Several high-end credit cards come with Avis Preferred status (enrollment required), and even Priority Pass members and United MileagePlus elites are eligible for status.

Hot Tip:

If you have elite status from another rental car loyalty program, you may be able to match it to status with Avis. Check out our ultimate guide to rental car program elite status matches.

Final Thoughts

Avis has brought back its popular promotion to earn a free rental day after completing a pair of 2-day rentals. If you’re interested in a free rental day, make sure to register for this promotion and complete the qualifying rentals before February 28, 2025.
