Just wanted to say thanks for this! I was able to save HUNDREDS of dollars on a one-way through the

I first read about cheap car rentals via Capital One on Rapid Travel Chai .  In my experience, rentals weren t always cheaper on the Capital One travel portal, but they were sometimes cheaper than the Chase Ultimate Rewards and Citi Thank You portals.
The BIG advantage of the Capital One No Hassle Rewards travel portal is that you can book one-way car rentals (where adoption travel to china you rent the car in one city, but drop it off in another city) and pick-ups at non-airport locations.  You can t book these type of rentals with Chase Ultimate Rewards adoption travel to china and Citi Thank You points.
You can also pay with any credit card , so you could use a non-Capital-One credit card to pay for the rental if it has primary car insurance.  But you need a Capital One travel rewards credit card or a checking adoption travel to china account to access the portal.  There is also NO cancellation fee if you cancel a booking made with a credit card , though there is no refund if you don t pick up the rental and don t cancel beforehand.
In my tests for the rental adoption travel to china car series post, the Capital One portal wasn t as low as the Chase Ultimate Rewards or Citi Thank You portal, but I ve seen the Capital One portal with occasionally lower rates than elsewhere.  But the rates were still cheaper than Hotwire or Costco adoption travel to china Travel!
You need a Capital One checking account or credit card which earns No Hassle Rewards points to access the travel portal.  Cards which earn cash rewards points may have access to different adoption travel to china cash rates.
This link to CreditCards.com has 2 Capital adoption travel to china One cards , one with an annual fee and one without an annual fee.  Note that the cards have only a 10,000 point sign up bonus and that Capital One usually pulls your credit from all 3 credit bureaus.
My oldest credit card is a no-fee Capital One credit card which I got in college with a $200 limit, which was enough for breadsticks at the Pizza Express across form my dorm.  I gradually increased the credit line and financed my 1st car using a 0% APR offer (a 6 year old Ford Escort) in my junior year when I needed a car for an internship.  And I probably used the card for a few dates with Emily!
The credit card prices were the same regardless of accessing the portal with a Capital One Venture card or a regular no-fee Capital One Platinum card which both earned No Hassle Rewards.   The points rates varies depending on which card I used to log into the portal, but the credit adoption travel to china card rate was the same.
[Note that price comparisons between rental agencies were made on the same day, but posted later.  The credit card prices were the same regardless of accessing adoption travel to china the portal with a Capital One Venture card or a regular no-fee Capital One Platinum card which both earned "No Hassle Rewards."  The points rates varies depending on which card you have.]
However, adoption travel to china if you make a booking using Capital One rewards points , you can only make ONE change, so you re better off cancelling the reservation and making another reservation so that you don t lose flexibility if you need to cancel in the future.
adoption travel to china No monetary refund adoption travel to china will be given for cancellation of a reservation booked using rewards. An equivalent amount adoption travel to china of Rewards, minus any cancellation or change fees, will be credited back to your Rewards account if changes to your rewards reservation result in a refund.
I haven’t made enough reservations to see if I can add an airline or car rental frequent traveler number and earn miles/points for the reservation.  I suspect that I won’t be able to earn miles/points adoption travel to china for the reservation.
However, you can sometimes earn airline miles for short reservations, like say this offer for 1,500 US Air miles for a 2 day or longer rental (targeted to US Air Preferred members, but works for most).  In some cases, particularly for short rentals, adoption travel to china it make sense to forgo the lower credit card price from the Capital One portal and earn miles for the rental.  But do the math for yourself!
I’m also not sure if you can add your rental car number to the reservation so that you can skip checking adoption travel to china in at the rental car counter and go straight to the car.  I tried calling Avis to add my number to a reservation, but was told I couldn’t do it because the rate would increase if they associated my Avis number with the reservation.
The Capital One portal is not always the cheapest, but it is worth checking if you have access to the Capital One portal.  And it is definitely worth checking out if you re looking for 1-way rentals or non-airport locations.
In my experience, the Chase Ultimate Rewards Citi Thank You portal often have the lowest price on car rentals.  But sometimes the Capital adoption travel to china One No Hassle Rewards portal has better rates so it doesn t hurt to check!  And especially for 1-way and non-airport location rentals since the Chase and Citi portals don t have this option.

The cash rate shown on the Capital One portal apparently varies depending adoption travel to china on what kind of credit card you have. I have the Capital One Venture One card and when I access the portal, the points are based on 100 points per dollar, so if the rate is $192.46 the points needed adoption travel to china will be 19,246.
adoption travel to china Even though I don t like capital one points, I still think using points on car rentals is a bad value. It is so easy to get a cheap rental car I never think it is worth the points. I interested to see where you comparisons lead, but so far I haven t seen anything that beats Priceline s name your own price.
adoption travel to china @Alfred E. Neuman I logged in using a no-fee and an annual fee card and the cash rate was the same, but the points rate changed. But there are lots of different Capital adoption travel to china One cards available, so this could be ymmv.
Just curious if anyone has use the travel portal and booked adoption travel to china a vehicle adoption travel to china for a family member rather than yourself? We are traveling with extended family and looks like these are the best rates. I d like to book a vehicle for ourselves and one for my in-laws but hope I can book theirs in their name to avoid paying the additional driver fees.
Just wanted to say thanks for this! I was able to save HUNDREDS of dollars on a one-way through the Capital One site for a trip next month. adoption travel to china I booked this rental several months ago but just today decided to see if I could add my Dollar Express number adoption travel to china to the reservation. I called Dollar and they said I would need to call Capital One. I spoke with a wonderful agent at Capital One she put me on hold and came back and told me she was able to add our Express number! So, no waiting in line for us! She did say that some agencies will allow it and others won t. She was going to start making a list for herself as she is asked this often and couldn t remember which ones would do it.
