PLEASE READ THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS CAREFULLY BECAUSE IF YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM YOU ARE AGREEING TO ALL THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS WHICH FORM A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND US. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS, DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE APPLICABLE FOR U.S. (including PR and USVI) AND CANADIAN TRAVEL AGENTS ONLY.
Avis Budget Car Rental (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”) operates a loyalty program we refer to as the Unlimited Rewards program (“Program”) which allows eligible travel agents to accumulate rewards, subject to these Terms & Conditions (the “Terms and Conditions” or “Program Rules”). We will refer to individuals who are eligible to participate in the Program, as described below, agree to be legally bound by these Terms & Conditions and enroll in the Program, as “you” or “your” or “Member”. You may not participate in the Program if doing so would violate your employer’s policies or if the Program is or would be prohibited or restricted by law. Travel Agents should check their employer’s policies before enrolling. A Travel Agent who has enrolled in violation of his or her employer’s policies may have his or her enrollment cancelled, his or her participation in the Program subject to termination without notice and any Program rewards accumulated shall be forfeited.
You must enroll in the Program and you must be a licensed travel agent in the U.S. (including PR and USVI) or Canada, be 18 years old or older, have a valid social security number (U.S. only) and have a valid ARC, International Air Transport Association (“IATA”), Cruise Lines International Association (“CLIA”), True ID, ARC, or Travel Sellers number in order to participate and be eligible to accumulate rewards in the Program. By enrolling in the Program, using the Unlimited Rewards Member Number assigned to you or by redeeming Rewards issued to you, you agree that: (i) you have read, understood and accepted these Program Rules; and (ii) you consent to the Company’s processing of data that is personal to you, and disclosure of such data to third parties, in accordance with the program’s Privacy Policy.
Travel Agents may only enroll on an individual basis. Corporations, businesses, and other entities may not enroll in the Program. Each individual Travel Agent is limited to only one membership in the Program and participation is nontransferable. Multiple account numbers belonging to a Travel Agent will be canceled, his or her participation in the Program subject to termination without notice and any Program Rewards accrued under any and all of such multiple accounts, whether or not issued, shall be void.
Eligible Travel Agents may enroll in the Program by logging on to the Enrollment section of our website at URL www.unlimited-rewards.com and completing the online Program enrollment form. As described in more detail below, once enrolled in the Program, you have the opportunity to accumulate and eventually earn Rewards upon completion of a Qualifying Transaction originating from a reservation booked through the authorized methods described below and in accordance with these Terms and Conditions at participating Avis car rental, Budget car rental and Hilton (each a “Program Partner”) locations. You must accumulate a minimum of ten dollars ($10 US) in rewards before you may receive an Unlimited Rewards Stored Value Card ("Card"), which is issued by a financial institution, whose Terms and Conditions govern redemption. The Company’s obligation to you is to issue Rewards earned in compliance with these Terms and Conditions to an unexpired Card. Once Rewards are issued to a Card, the Company has satisfied its obligations to you under the Program and your rights to redeem Rewards are subject to the Card issuer’s Terms and Conditions. Additional Rewards you accumulate prior to the Card’s expiration date will be issued to the Card as provided for below.
Members accumulate Program Rewards on qualifying transactions. A Qualifying Transaction is a booking made by a Member, not booked through any third party travel websites such as Travelocity, Expedia, Orbitz, etc., that includes a valid IATA, ARC, CLIA, True Sellers number or True ID and an Unlimited Rewards member number supplied in the correct format, that results in a completed transaction at a participating location. Not all locations participate in the Program. Once a reservation is submitted Unlimited Rewards member numbers cannot be modified and existing reservations cannot be modified to add a member number.
For Avis and Budget car rental, if there is a discrepancy in length between the booked transaction and the completed transaction, rewards will be awarded for the shortest period.
Members may accumulate Rewards from the Program Partners for completed qualifying transactions at participating locations as follows:
Avis Car Rental and Budget Car Rental: Program applies to participating Avis and Budget locations within the United States, Canada, Mexico, Latin America, the Caribbean, Australia and New Zealand (not all locations within these regions participate in the Program);
Avis Car Rental only: Program applies to participating locations within the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, France, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic, Spain, Italy and Portugal (not all locations within these regions participate in the Program).
Hilton: Program applies globally to all participating locations.

For some promotions, in order to earn bonus rewards, you may be required to enter a Promotion Code by logging on to unlimited-rewards.com, and entering the code into the Promotion Registration box on the right side of the screen, then hit “Submit” button. Once a Promotion Code is correctly entered, a confirmation message will appear on the screen.. Active promotions will be available to view once logged in. If registration for a Promotion takes place after the date it started, bonus rewards will be applied from the date of Registering the Promotion Code.
The modification of reservations not originally booked by an Eligible Travel Agent will not earn Rewards, is strictly prohibited and includes the modification of any reservations made through an online or self-booking tool (e.g. Concur). If a reservation originally booked via an online application or self-booking tool is modified to add your Unlimited Rewards Member Number, we reserve the right at our sole discretion, to terminate your participation and enrollment in the Program and you will forfeit any and all Rewards you may have accrued. We reserve the right to pursue all available legal remedies against you for violations of these Terms and Conditions.
Reward schedules are subject to change at any time solely at the discretion of Unlimited Rewards. The Rewards structure is subject to modification, cancellation, or limitation at the Company’s discretion, with or without notice. The number Qualifying Transactions required to accumulate a Reward may be substantially increased, any Reward may be withdrawn, and restrictions on any Reward or reward redemption ("Reward Redemption") may be imposed at any time.
The Company and its Program Partners have the right to change, limit, modify or cancel the Program Rules, Rewards and reward levels at any time, with or without notice, even though such changes may affect the value of Rewards, or the ability to obtain certain Rewards. The Company and its Program Partners may, among other things: a) increase or decrease the amount of Rewards received for a Qualifying Transaction or required for a Reward; b) withdraw, limit, modify or cancel any Reward; c) add blackout dates, limit the type of services or participating locations eligible to accumulate Rewards or otherwise restrict the continued availability of Rewards; d) change program benefits, Program Partners, participating locations served by the Company or its Program Partners, conditions of participation, rules for earning, redeeming, retaining or forfeiting Rewards, or rules governing the use of Rewards; e) change or cancel its Program Partner Rewards. In accumulating Rewards, Members may not rely upon the continued availability of any Reward or Reward level, category or tier.
Additionally, the Company has the right to terminate the Program by providing written notice to its Members ten (10) days in advance of Program termination. In that event, the right to accumulate Rewards and redeem Rewards may end six months after notification, no matter the extent of Member participation in the Rewards Program. The Company may terminate the Program earlier in whole or in part in any jurisdiction(s) if required to do so by applicable law.
