In 2017, Avis launched a new skill for Amazon Alexa to provide customers with instant, voice-controlled access to the car rental booking process.
Now, following Amazon’s famed Prime Day, Amazon customers who book an Avis vehicle in the United States can save money on their rental and receive an Amazon gift card valued at 10 percent* of their rental price and can save up to 30% off of base rates when selecting “Pay Now”.
Later this month, those who book an Avis vehicle using the Avis skill for Amazon Alexa will receive an Amazon gift card valued at 20% of their rental price.

Bottom Line
I’m personally less loyal and more price conscious when it comes to rentals, so I like to use AutoSlash and CarRentalSavers to compare rates on car rentals.
However, if you’re a frequent Avis customer, the Amazon Prime / Avis partnership is a great way to save 10%. Additionally, don’t forget that you can earn additional cash back by checking CashBackMonitor on your direct Avis booking, too.
To take it a step further, it even may make sense to get an Alexa device soon to activate the 20% back on an Amazon gift card when this deal becomes available later this month. The cheapest one is only $49 and the return on $250 in Avis rentals will essentially “pay for Alexa” after factoring in the $50 back.
