Yes, USAA offers discounts of up to 25% on rental cars from participating Enterprise, Hertz, Budget, and Avis locations, and you can save even more by prepaying for your rental through USAA. The discount applies to time and mileage charges for the rental only, rather than any insurance or additional products you purchase. Some vehicles are also excluded from the discount.
To get the USAA car rental discount, you will need to use your USAA discount number, available on the USAA member website, to make the rental car reservation.

- Prepay discount. USAA members can save up to 35% by prepaying for their rental car through USAA.
- Fee waivers. Participating rental car companies waive both young driver fees and additional driver fees for USAA members, up to $44.

However, members can purchase a Loss Damage Waiver, which means they are not responsible for the claim amount or the $5,000 deductible.
