Summer Family Fun Starts With Special Offers from Sears Car and Truck RentalHalf a Million Sears Customers Receive Special Deals on Weekly Wheels LISLE, Ill., May 3 -- Just in time for summer, Sears Car and Truck Rental is offering over half a million U.S. Sears customers $20 off standard weekly rates and 10 percent off standard weekly rates at participating Budget/Sears Car and Truck Rental locations. These special deals, which are valid between now and October 31, 1999, are just the beginning of the stepped-up efforts by Budget Rent a Car to promote Sears Car and Truck Rental to Sears' cardholders and create awareness of the brand. Budget Rent a Car and Sears, Roebuck and Co. , two brand names that are synonymous with value, joined forces nearly thirty years ago to establish Sears Car and Truck Rental. Budget Rent a Car's exclusive partnership with Sears enables customers to use their Sears Card as a form of payment for Sears Car and Truck Rental services, which are available at more than 1,000 Budget Rent a Car locations throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada. Customers are encouraged to get a jump on summer by taking advantage of the promotional offers listed above and booking their summertime wheels now. Customers may choose from a wide variety of vehicles including breezy convertibles, sport utility vehicles, minivans and luxury cars. Both offers are available on standard weekly rates on all car classes except economy, compact and Jaguar. To qualify for the $20 discount, customers must present their Sears mailer at the time of rental and mention BCD# U041542 at the time of reservation. To qualify for the 10 percent discount, customers must mention BCD # U023828 at the time of reservation. Since availability of cars during the summer peak season is limited, customers are encouraged to book as early as possible. Both offers require a five-day minimum rental and are not available with any other discounted rate or promotional offer including CorpRate, government rates or tour/wholesale rates. Taxes, airport concession fees, vehicle license fees, surcharges, additional driver fees and optional items, such as LDW and refueling, are extra. Certain blackout dates may apply. Local rental and age restrictions apply.
