AARP Car Rental Discounts

One of the many benefits that comes with AARP membership is car rental discounts. In an average year, renters spend $350 for a one-week car rental.* As an AARP member, you can save up to 30% on car rentals which can mean a savings of $105 per year. AARP benefits also include virtual safe-driving courses, car maintenance tips and tools to help you find your next safe car.
