Penske Truck Rental Military & Veteran Discount
Penske takes 15% off truck rentals for active and veteran military with code MILITARY — up to 20% on some offers. Here’s how to claim it, the WeSalute+ path, and the dedicated PCS call center.
Penske Truck Rental offers a 15% military discount on truck rentals with promo code MILITARY, and it covers both active-duty service members and veterans — you simply show a military or veteran ID when you pick up the truck. Some promotional periods push the savings higher, up to 20% off.
If you carry a WeSalute+ membership (formerly Veterans Advantage), Penske honors the discount that way too: book online with your WeSalute+ ID and present the card at pickup. Either path is reserved online — the WeSalute+ rate in particular cannot be applied by phone, chat, or at the counter.
For a PCS, Penske also runs a dedicated military move call center at 1-844-4TROOPS (1-844-487-6677) staffed by associates with a personal military connection, which is worth using for a personally procured move. This is an independent guide; Penske controls its own offers, so confirm the current code and percentage on its official page before you book.

HOW IT WORKS
Penske’s military discount is a straightforward rate cut: reserve a truck online, apply promo code MILITARY for 15% off, and show a valid military or veteran ID at pickup. The percentage comes off the time-and-mileage base rate, not the taxes, fees, or optional coverage, and it cannot be combined with other promotions — so compare it against any standard online deal Penske is running before you lock it in.
The WeSalute+ route is the alternative for members: book online using your WeSalute+ ID and bring the WeSalute+ card to pickup. It carries the same 15% but is strictly an online booking — Penske will not apply it by phone, chat, or at a location. With either path the in-person ID check at pickup is what finalizes the discount, so don’t leave home without it.
For a military move specifically, the dedicated call center (1-844-4TROOPS) is the differentiator. A personally procured move (PPM/DITY) is reimbursable by the Department of Defense when you keep your paperwork, so the rental discount stacks with a reimbursement you claim through your transportation office. Shoppers weighing options should cross-quote Budget Truck (20% with code USMIO for those traveling on orders) and U-Haul (no rate discount, but a free month of storage) to see which is cheapest for the specific move.
