About ACE

Rental Genius is the most generous customer loyalty program in the car rental industry. Most programs allow you to accumulate points for rental discounts and free rental days. A few programs allow you to earn product awards of substantial value.

Rental Genius does both! Every qualifying rental earns you points towards a variety of valuable gifts. At the same time, each qualifying rental helps you reach Genius levels that give you instant discounts off future rentals without using up any of your points!

Earning Points

You earn one point for each paid dollar of base rental charges for qualifying reservations made at acerentacar.com for vehicles at participating ACE locations. Points are accumulated for rental time and mileage charges. Points are not accumulated for taxes, fees, protection products, special equipment, and other optional items. From time to time, ACE offers promotions that add bonus points to your account.

Points are credited to your account 8 days after the rental completes.

Points are valid for two years from the date each rental completes. Points are only awarded for retail bookings made at acerentacar.com and acerent.mobi. Reservations using special negotiated rates may not qualify for Rental Genius points.

Redeeming Awards

ACE offers a variety of valuable gifts redeemable with as few as 750 Rental Genius points. To see the list of currently available awards, please log on to your account at acerentacar.com. Then click on the My Account link at the top of the page. The Rental Genius Awards Redemption section lists all available awards.

Awards are issued within 7 days of the redemption request.
