Opening a Checking account is NOT necessary.
Call USAA - 1-800-531-8722 and ask them to create a membership number.
That's it. Register on the website. A print out of the Profile Page-with your name, address and membership number is ample proof for the rental agency.
Also- One needs to use one of their MAJOR products (such as insurance, investments etc) to be eligible for the Primary Liability Coverage. [pening a free checking account will NOT make you eligible for the Primary Liability Coverage. I have called and verified this.
Having a membership number will only let you use the discount code. that's it.
Calling to verify means nothing. Theres is nothing in the terms and conditions of the rental agreement that says you need to be use a MAJOR product to get the car rental insurance. The insurance is provided through the rental company (I only checked Avis.) see this link http://www.avis.com/car-rental/ht...a/faq.html (if link doesn't work, log into you usaa account go the car rental section and click on "learn about member benefits" )
CSR on the phone might confuse their real car rental insurance, vs the car rental insurance as part of the rental agreement.
Budget, Avis, and Enterprise only waive the underage fee for 21-24 year olds with USAA membership. Hertz is the only car rental company that waives the underage fee for 18-24 year olds.

Quick, easy and saved me money. Better prices than Priceline.
Thanks
If I get a ding or scratch...what's the deal and best option?
let's say we use the USAA trick to get the car, do they still require you to proof yo u have insurance for your car?

And yeah, having a membership number ONLY gets you the discounted price. Nothing else.
Who was the first best place? The last two times we rented we looked everywhere and could not beat costco.

USAA for Budget. The rates fluctuate and though Costco initially found me a cheaper price, at the end USAA beat it by $25.
Also- if you use USAA for something major, like insurance, investments etc, using their discount code will not only provide you with an additional driver at no cost, it will also provide you with Rental insurance.
Seriously..I was going to say the same thing.
The entire reason behind THIS thread is the various codes that USAA offers. A simple glance at the OP would provide you with ALL the information that you needed.
Go to Priceline and enter each code and see what results you get.
OR you can try this link. [urlhasbeenblocked]
