rental car in Connecticut

[dantejesse]

We are driving down to Disney at the end of July and would really like to not drive our own car so are trying to get a minivan. I am having no luck getting anything cheaper than $800 as a base rate :( (Way to expensive it would be cheaper to fly) Anybody have any luck doing this or rate codes that work up here?
Thanks in advance for any help!!;)

Try hotwire or priceline from your nearest airport. Many places will charge you mileage on a mini-van rental which will greatly increase your cost.

We had the same problem back in May. I ended up renting from Newark airport with National's Emerald Aisle. We ended up getting a Chevy Venture for $225 for 8 days(including 1/2 tank of gas)

It was a real pain since Newark in a 1-2 hour drive. We picked up on a Sat, brought it home and packed it, left on Sunday, came home on a Sat unpacked it and brought it back on Sunday. It was a pain but it saved HUNDREDS!!!
