Warning: For car rental companies to appear within trip search results, a rental car discount code must exist regardless of whether a real discount in place. If one is not included in the template used to clone this site, you can create the code “Dummy Rental Car Discount” to satisfy this requirement.

This topic describes adding or editing rental car discount codes on the Add or Edit page.

Overview

In order to have different discount codes in effect for different groups, you add or edit the discount codes for car rental agencies and a list of discount codes for hotel chains, and add the rental codes and the list of hotel codes into a combined rental car/hotel code set that can be assigned to one or more groups. 

Note: This topic describes how to add or edit rental car discount codes, and add them to sets. See Hotel Discount Codes for similar instructions for hotel chain discount codes.

Tip: For a description of groups, see Groups Tab for Managing Groups.
