Avis Senior Discount (2026): How to Get It

The quick answer: Avis discounts are AARP-based: members save up to 35% off base rates plus get a free additional driver and upgrades.

The details

Avis has no straight age-based senior rate; its senior-relevant deal is the official AARP partnership. AARP members save up to 35% off base rates when choosing Pay Now at reservation (up to 30% with Pay Later at the counter), receive a 3% credit toward future rentals, a free upgrade on compact through full-size bookings when available, and a free additional driver. Base-rate savings exclude taxes and fees. Any AARP member qualifies regardless of age; book with the AARP discount code attached.

How to claim it

Book through the AARP-Avis benefit page (aarp.org) or enter the AARP discount code at avis.com; choose Pay Now for the biggest savings.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get the maximum Avis discount as a retiree?

Join AARP and prepay. The AARP benefit gives up to 35% off base rates with the Pay Now option versus up to 30% if you pay at the counter. On top of that you get a 3% credit toward future rentals, a possible free upgrade, and a free additional driver — useful for couples sharing driving.

Does Avis have a senior discount without AARP?

No standalone age-based rate exists at Avis. The savings run through AARP membership, which any adult can join for about $16 a year — typically recouped in a single rental. Without it, you're limited to public promo codes and sale rates.
