October 2010 Car Rentals

[maciec]

UGH! Just reserved a minivan for 10/7-1/14 for $382.49. I am hoping that Priceline comes through for me again, but at least I have this as a back up. YUCK!

We got a decent rate of $171 for a compact car at Dollar using

Oct 30 thru Nov 6. We also booked a mini van with Budget thru this site for $225 for eight days Dec 21 thru Dec 29.

seems that the company is an offshoot of travelocity ( we mad a reservation and had to make a change....when we called we got "travelocity"

I've been watching prices since I booked our October rental with National in May (hoping for a cheaper rate) but unfortunately the prices have just gone up - right now the rate is almost double I'll keep watching to see if prices drop at all but am very glad I booked when I did

I have what I think is an okay price. One full week Oct 14 - 21 with my emerald club membership number and a coupon for 30 off........... 225.00 taxes included.
This is for a midsize on the emerald isle. Pickup and dropoff - MCO

Not great but better than what I have been seeing. I am hoping it will go down but I can live with that price.

We have a total weekly rate of $327 for a minivan from Dollar with the Orlando Magicard code. Picking up at the Regal Sun Resort and returning at MCO. (No ME from Vero Beach.. doh!)

I'm trying to lower my Oct 23rd to Nov 1 reservation but having no luck.
I currently have a 9 day reservation with National Emerald Aisle.
AARP code 6100120 and the one day free for $232.23 total with all fees and taxes and add'l driver free. When I try to change to the $30 off coupon ND29Z3ZDI it brings it up to over $300.

We have a car on the Emerald Isle for $253.74 for October 16-25. I really want a bigger car, guess I have to keep watching.

Do you have to show youe AARP membership card when you pick up the car?

 

[shoes99]

Do you have to show youe AARP membership card when you pick up the car?

No you don't need to present your aarp membership card, but if you use 6100120, you have to put your AARP membership id in the reservation... Won't take the code without the ID.

 

[poohbear7]

Thank you for the AARP infomation.

I was really hoping that the prices would start going down, but that's not the case. The same car I booked for $212 is now $243 with the same Costco code and coupon.

 

[DVC-Don]

Got a compact for a week with Enterprise for $135 with my company discount.

That's not bad this year! Hopefully some other discount codes will work as well.

Oh, I should check mine then.

I use the Costco codes but I have longer than a week, which usually throws pricing out of whack.

DH wants to only rent from the "known" agencies and where he can walk to at MCO. The lowest I could find for a minivan was from Enterprise from 10/14-10/25 was $441.00. Used a weekly 10% off code from the Entertainment Book.

My parents have a full size (same time period) from National for $292 using a double upgrade coupon from the Entertainment Book.

I booked with Budget, who is located at the terminal. I'm paying $225 a week, with a total of $300 after taxes and fees. My dates are Oct. 31 - Nov. 7. (I originally put in the wrong dates, as I got my trips mixed up.)
