Do you really want to drive a mustang to client site?
Rent with National. You can book compact cars but choose anything from the aisle.
National Emerald Club
If you're with AVIS you can register for a Preferred account online (free) which gives you access to free upgrades if available.
Oh well, I doubt if National or Enterprise works bc they bill your credit card in the end when you return the car.
Just plan to go to the counter when you turn it in.
Paying the difference ? Just curious
Upgrade at the counter.
Yes I know I can upgrade at the counter. Was curious more as to how the reimbursement process would work and if I'll get into trouble for doing it
It's 0.01% of the expense budget for a 3+ hour drive. What do you think?
Hehe. I guess. But how do I prove the "difference"? I love cars and I was hoping to upgrade to a mustang or something and pay the diff out of pocket.
Yes. There is no way they will see it. Complicated to explain and don't want to divulge specific info. Let's say what car is not the issue here
Yes you can pay the difference. Just like at the hotel you can have them remove certain charges from the bill or split onto different cards. Really not a big deal.
Suck it up, cupcake
Or, you know, just ask at the counter when you pick it up... you need to go there anyway to get the upgrade...
National Emerald Aisle is actually full sized rate at 33.50/day. Compact is 32.50/day.
Source: I have done this every week for 9-months.
Just book it over the phone and tell them to use acn corporate rate. Get what u want but nothing too much more than the full-sized price. Accenture won't even care.....also many people on my large project get jaguars, land rovers, Mercedes, inifinitues, Camaros and chargers ever week. Personally I get upgraded to a mustang, but we all have a bit of status
Thanks guys for the input :) sorry for the newbie question. I'm just paranoid about compliance
Accenture has negotiated rates with Avis and Hertz only. I'm mad salty about not being able to use those amazing rates especially since almost all of us have status with National because of Sapphire Reserve.
