Scott's View: Benefit Upgrade - Dollar and Thrifty Car Rentals

August 12, 2009

I’m pleased to announce a benefit upgrade, a special program for Veterans Advantage members, in the hotly competitive car rental industry. After meeting with executives of Dollar Rent a Car and Thrifty Car Rental at my offices late last month, two great guys, they agreed to enhance their partnership with us.

In addition to our discount relationship, each program now includes downloadable coupons (limit one per rental) for a free upgrade day and free GPS system day. This already is combined with the waivers on additional drivers and underage drivers included with our offer for Dollar, further bolstering the unique quality of the car rental benefit for Veterans Advantage with a range of discounted travel options.

As a further demonstration of our exclusive partnership, Veterans Advantage is the only outside company listed in the “Government Programs” area of both dollar.com and thrifty.com:

Dollar.com: Here.

Thrifty.com: Here.

Thank you Dollar/Thrifty!
