15 Passanger Vans???

[Niagara2]

Could anyone help me with information on how to save money when booking a 15 passanger van. We have 10 traveling in August and not sure if we would be better with two cars or a mini van and car as the prices are so high for the extended van. Any deals out there??? Thanks in advance guys!

We are renting a 15 passenger van in November for a family of 10 from U-save rental. We got a pretty good deal with them.

I would opt for two cars. Try dollar.com, the codes out right now are FVG, FISH, or MCC. Try them all to see what gives you the best price on whatever car/mini van you are interested. You don't need any coupons or anything else to use these codes. They are open to the public, you just have to know about them. Go to mousesavers.com, click on WDW, then click on transportation for more car discount ideas. Dollar is located onsite at MCO, right arcross the street from baggage pickup. We have rented from them many times in the past with no problems, even received free upgrades in the past.

I just used code MCC at dollar.com for a week in August and for a mini van it was $209.99, with tax (no insurance included) $263.10.

Niagara2,

Here is what I did:

1. Sign up for disney club (DC) membership ($31.95 annual fee - use code EAD2)
2. sign up for National Emerald club membership (free for DC member).
3. go to National car rental site and reserver a 15 pass van for the date you like and use 5901600 as Contract ID #. (required to show DC member card at checkout counter)

Here is what I reserved for my group of 12 for 8/25-9/1/02 8 days trip at WDW.
