Along the lines of playing the SWA game, I now enjoy playing the National Car Rental Game. This one is easier to play.
1. Book a reservation through National Emerald Club. Not an Emerald Club member? CLick here for free membership:

2. Book a reservation when you know your dates. Be sure to take advantage of the many coupons and discounts available. The best page I know about discounts is here:
http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/messageview.php?catid=63&threadid=790643
page down to the National Coupons and discounts.
Now comes the game.
No sooner than two weeks before your trip, click on the specials to go link
http://www.nationalcar.com/
click on "specials to go" on the upper right
now click on "last minute specials"
Find your airport and see if anything is offered. MCO is almost always offered.
Now once you find your fare, be sure to use any coupons that the system will allow you to use. (see above link)
When I orginally booked my reservation a few weeks ago, my cost was $180 for a full size for May 3rd through May 7th. Playing the game and using the last minute special trick, I am now paying $105. (both fares include all taxes and everything else but insurance.)
Be sure to cancel your first reservation. There is no penalty if you forget.
Saving $75 for a few minutes work is not bad.
If you have any questions, please ask!
