Dollar Car Rental is running a sale with discounts up to 55% on car rentals, the largest savings available on certain vehicles and destinations. The offer applies to rentals booked on the Dollar Car Rental website and is best for anyone booking a trip during the sale period.
The headline sale gives you the most value if you are booking a standard rental with no protection add ons. On a $300 rental, for example, the up to 55% discount could save you as much as $165, bringing your total to $135 depending on which vehicle and destination you book. The other percentage discounts on the page (the up to 15% offers) save less and are not worth using when the larger deal is available.
If you are adding protection to your rental, the choice depends on which level of coverage you choose. The protection packages are fixed daily rates: Basic Protection costs $54.98 per day, Standard Protection costs $67.93 per day, and Complete Protection costs $73.95 per day. On a five day rental, Basic Protection adds $274.90, Standard Protection adds $339.65, and Complete Protection adds $369.75. The percentage discounts apply to your base rental rate, not to the protection add ons, so you get the percentage saving on the rental itself plus the flat daily rate for whichever protection tier you pick.
Compare your rental cost before and after the 55% discount. If the 55% discount does not apply to your specific vehicle or destination (the offer terms note that the largest savings apply to certain vehicles and destinations, so compare rates for your trip), you would fall back to the up to 15% discounts on the page. The up to 15% offers are equivalent, so use whichever appears first or clearest to you.
For first time customers, the newsletter signup may lead to additional promotions, though the current page offers no specific first time customer deal listed, so book with the 55% sale to get your best known saving now.
All of these offers are available on the Dollar Car Rental website only. Check your rental dates and vehicle choice during booking to see which discount applies to your trip and calculate your final cost.
