Right now, the best offer for earning miles on a car rental is Delta’s offer for partner Avis where you can earn up to 5,000 miles per rental. Here are the full details can be found here: http://www.avis.com/car-rental/html/partner/dl/deltaoffer2009.html

Basically, you get 2,500 Delta SkyMiles for 3 day rentals, 5,000 miles for 4 days or more.

Here’s the good:

• No flight required, so you can fly in on any airline you want.
• Bonus miles are valid on any car class you rent
• 2,500/5,000 miles is in addition to base miles you earn (base miles for Delta SkyMiles program are 50 miles per day or 500 miles on 5+ rental days.)
• Expires on December 31, 2009 (Rental must begin on/before this date, so it is a long lasting promotion unlike many other car related ones)

Here’s the bad:

• Miles only earned at airport locations (not promotion related, but a typical Avis rule; however you can rent at airport and return at non-airport location and still earn miles)
• only US/Canada rentals qualify for this promotion
• Must use the AWD discount provided by Delta on the promotion page (link again here: http://www.avis.com/car-rental/html/partner/dl/deltaoffer2009.html)

Have a nice clicK life,
