Rental car features
- In a typical year, you could save an average of $43.20 if you use the Union Plus Rental Car Discounts.
- When you book your discount car rental online, you can also print out your rental car reservation confirmation for your records and to reference when you pick up your car.
- Calling or ordering your rental cars online in advance may also mean you pay less than at the counter.
- Union members can choose to use their Union Plus Credit Card when they make their reservations for Avis or Budget rental cars and automatically get the discount car rental rates. This automatic Union Plus Credit Card discount applies to Avis and Budget car rentals only.
- Union members may be able to rent American-made and environmentally-friendly cars or trucks. You can also choose a GPS in your rental car to assist with directions.
- Instead of waiting in long toll lines, if you rent a car with an E-ZPass or I-Pass, you can pay your toll electronically by driving through a designated lane. State restrictions and terms and conditions may apply.
- If you're not already, consider joining the car rental company's loyalty program when you make your discount rental car reservation, including Alamo Insiders, Avis Preferred Service, Budget’s Fastbreak®, Enterprise Plus™, Hertz #1 Club and The Emerald Club® by National Car Rental.
These programs vary by company, but they’re typically free and entitle you to certain privileges when picking up your vehicle, including faster car rental reservations without filling out forms or waiting in line since your information will be on file ahead of time. You could also be eligible for additional special offers, upgrades, directions and more.
Car rental tips
How many miles should you plan on driving your rental car in a single day?
Under optimum driving conditions, the maximum number of miles you should drive is about 350 miles per day. Many things can affect the road travel - including weather, traffic, road conditions, terrain (hilly or flat) and driver fatigue. Take these factors into account when planning your trip.
Share your flight information with your rental car company. For airport car rentals, be sure to give the car rental customer service representative your flight number and scheduled arrival time. This will usually protect your reservation if the flight is delayed.
If you have personal auto insurance or charge the rental to a major credit card, you will probably be covered at least for collision damage -- so you shouldn't have to purchase the car rental company's collision or loss damage waiver (CDW or LDW) insurance. If in doubt, ask your insurance agent or credit card issuer. NOTE: The Union Plus Auto Insurance offers coverage for rental car collision damage for personal travel (not business travel).
Before you drive away from the rental car pick-up station, inspect the car carefully for body damage. Be sure the lights and turn signals are working properly, and check the mileage odometer. Report any defects immediately.
Be wary of prepaid gasoline plans. Always fill the tank yourself before returning the vehicle so that you're only paying for the amount of gas you actually used. Try to avoid the gas stations right near the airport where you're dropping off your car -- the prices tend to be highest there. Instead, fill up a few miles away. Even better: Check GasBuddy.com before your trip to find out where the cheapest gas stations are in your area.
Time your car rental return to get the best discount car rental rates. It may seem counterintuitive, but returning your car too early may actually cost you money. You'll sometimes pay an early return fee, but even worse, your rate structure will most likely change and you'll be responsible for the difference. Of course, returning the car late could cost you too -- many car rental companies only give you a 30-minute grace period before beginning to charge late fees.
What’s the cell phone usage law in the states you’ll be driving in? Here's a handy chart of cell phone laws by state (keep in mind that this information can change at any time). Remember that even if it's legal to talk on a cell phone, it's usually safest to use a hands-free device.

Just for curiosity purposes I looked at car rental quotes without Union Plus and with it, and I saved over fifty bucks (Hertz) on a 3 day car rental because of the Union Plus Benefits! I will definately be using it again!

We rented a car from Avis and it was ready for us when we got there and the car didn't stnk of ciggaretts and was very clean. And we enjoyed a discont of 10%... we wished it was a little bit more closer to the upto 25% thats advertised here in the unions website but it was all good. Thanks for the discount!
On 07/18/10 B said:
The discount is pretty good. When I got to the Avis the clerk did something to make it even cheaper than we were offered and gave us an upgrade, which was nice. I want to try the other rental companies to see which one will be my permanent company.
