This is shown on their website. Most calls answered promptly. Although none provide an ongoing % discount to members, at least Hertz and Avis provide regular exclusive offers including free days and other discounts which are not available to non members, most (but not all) of which are better offers than otherwise available, e.g. Avis offers 1 free day on a min. 2 day weekend and Hertz is currently offering 1 free day on a min. 3 day rental for Mercedes and Lexus picked up Mon-Thurs. There are marked differences in the functionality of their websites, with Hertz being the best (it allows multiple discount codes, changes via website, copies of past invoices), follwed by Avis (only one discount code, but others can be manually added for one rental and the std rate can be used if it is lower and you choose to), with Europcar and Thrifty the least functional (no copies of invoices and only allows use of one discount code and std rate, or other discount code cannot be used if cheaper). I can't comment on Budget, as I haven't yet joined. Hi again,
