Save on Silvercar rentals with Amex Offers
A new offer has just been rolled out for my favorite car rental company, Silvercar. I like Silvercar because the company has an all Audi fleet, excellent customer service, and uses technology well to make the rental experience better. The main downside is that Silvercar only has a couple of dozen locations, so it doesn’t have the footprint of some of the “big guys.”
Anyway, if you’re interested in renting a Silvercar, there’s a new targeted Amex Offer that could represent a good deal. With this new, targeted Amex Offer, you can earn $100 back when you spend $450+ with Silvercar by Audi by December 22, 2020.
This promotion is valid for rentals at all Silvercar locations. This promotion is targeted, though it at least seems to be pretty widely targeted, as I see the offer on several of my cards.
Obviously, $450 is a fairly significant amount to spend, though this could be useful for someone who is making a longer rental with Silvercar, or who rents from Silvercar often, since the $450 in spending can be in multiple transactions.
The downside to this promotion
The one (major) catch to this promotion is that you have to pay with an Amex card, which has two downsides for Silvercar rentals:
- No US Amex cards offer complimentary primarily collision damage waiver coverage, so I usually use a different card for renting cars
- I usually pay with a Visa Infinite Card (like the Chase Sapphire Reserve®) since you can always save 20% on the cost of your rental by using promotion code VISAINF20 at the time of booking
Ultimately I think this is of limited use for the above reasons, though I’m sure some will still find it to be worthwhile…
@Dave. Why do you have to be such a wanker? His website, he posts whatever the hell he wants. You don't like it? Simple move on, don't read and don't effing comment.

I wonder what makes you decide that something is worth a post. I guess the fact that you can rent an Audi for $350 instead of $450 is worth making a post about to some extent. An idea for the next post is the Amex offer on Rimowa. Please add a phrase to the effect of “The suitcase normally costs $1600 but I used Rakuten, coupon code OMAAT15 and the Amex offer. And I earned 11.000 membership rewards points so de facto the suitcase was free”
Great to know about this AMEX offer - I just signed up. With Platinum card, one can sign up for primary rental coverage for $20 for the entire rental of up to 41 days. I am switching my upcoming 9 day Silvercar rental to Platinum with this offer - I'll net $80 after adding primary coverage.
How do you use the VISA Infinite 20% discount code? Is the code placed in the rental car company website or is there a website for CSR? Thanks
