National Rates are down today...

[MickeyCrazed]

I saved $10 on my Intermediate size rental...
Good Luck! :D

[Cookie55]

THANKS SOOOOOOOOO much for the tip. I just saved $30 on my mid December rental!!:teeth:

[n2mm]

Glad to see folks saving money. The change didn't affect my Dec or Jan trips. My Dec. trip is a four day rental, so no change. I am using a free weekend coupon, so my total is $108 after everything.

Rates are pretty low for January.

Good luck to other National fans.

[Wiggle]

My January ressie went down $1.02 today.

:faint:

[snwwhite]

Mine only went down by $1.00, but that is 1 less $$ I'll have to spend!!! Thanks!!!

[Lucky4me]

Mine went down $15 for 9 days from 186 to 171. Every little bit helps. :)

[Sandi]

Mine went down $50 for my February rental. I was amazed -- I had a decent rate to start with.

[SplshMtn99]

Keeping mine the way it is. I just keep coming up with higher prices if I were to change it - no matter what combination of codes I try. Dec 4 - 14. Full size from Emerald Reserve. $225.58

[PattiPB]

Have you all checked Dollar's rates? I've always been a loyal National person, but my Dollar minivan rate for 2 weeks in December is a clear $100 less than my National rate with the Priceless code and Ent. book coupon.

Just thought I'd throw it out there for you...

I found a great change today. We had a 15 pass. van for 9 days reserved for $680 which was a great rate compared to other rental car places. Today, I just went and checked rates and got the same 15 pass. van for total $267!!!! I did it twice and got the same rate! Unbelievable change! I'm taking that deal!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NHLFAN]

I just checked rates again and saved $37.64 on a new reservation!

Thanks for the info...

Now that is an unbelievable rate! Good for you!

Make sure you are clearing your cookies before checking rates. I checked rates at work and it went down $6 for Dec 4 - 13. When I tried the same dates at home that night it was still at the higher rate.

Moral: Clear out those darn cookies before booking at National!

Well, all cookies & temp internet files cleared.........and still coming up with higher rates.

So, I guess my full size for $225.58 for 12/4 - 12/14 is as good as it's gonna get.

[Dan Murphy]

$19 less here for 11/30-12/10

[cra-z-4-dizney]

Just saved $6.00....thanks a bunch!!!!!!

[3PRINCESSMOM]

My rate dropped from $170 to $147, for 12/3 - 12/11. I am actually paying less this year for 8 days than I did last year!

[mom_rules]

Which contract IDs or codes - mine isn't budging!

[leebee]

How do I clear cookies (usually I eat 'em!)? Please...words of one syllable, just learned to do email attachments and feeling very proficient with the computer, but I am NOT!!!!

[Dan Murphy]

At the top of your browser, go to Tools, then Internet Options. In the middle of that popup, click where it asks to Delete Cookies. Click OK.

Then go to National.

I used Priceline ID and Entertainment coupon.

[Sandi]

It's the Priceless Vacations (not "priceline") that worked for me. The number is 6600330. It was better than my Emerald Club number (which varies a lot over time). I always try whatever combination I can come up with for the time. Right now there are no coupons for my travel dates. The Priceless code works though.

[mrsschlep]

hi everyone! I am new to this vacationing stuff and renting cars and booking airfare. Can you please tell me how to apply the cheaper rate to your already booked car rental? Do you have to rebook and cancel your first one or can you use your current reservations? Thank you!

[leebee]

I always book a new ressie rather than modify the existing one...that way, I don't make any mistakes and lose an already acceptable rate. If I do book at a better rate, I always go back in and cancel any existing ressies that I will no longer be using.

PS- Thanks, Dan, for the cookie info. It was simple and concise, exactly what I need when using a computer. Any chance you give lessons in EndNote or Photoshop (LOL)!?! The hardest part of writing a paper is learning to use the computer programs...old dog, new tricks, etc.!

[Lexxiefern]

Thanks for posting this! I just saved another $12 off my dec rental.

Thanks to you Dan Murphy too for explaining how to clear cookies so easily!

[n2mm]

I checked my rates when this thread was first posted and there was no change for me. I did, however, recheck tonight, and to my surprise, now my rates has dropped by $14. I was paying $108 for a 4 day rental EA, using free weekend day coupon. Now my new rate is $94, total, all fees. So if you checked earlier, you might want to recheck again.

[mom_rules]

Can't seem to get the free weekend day coupon to work for me. Can you tell me what the rules and restrictions are for this? Maybe I don't have enough days or something.

[n2mm]

there seems to be a 3 min/4 max rental. picking up has some options too. After Thursday, can't return before Sunday.....

National is 10008612

Priceless vacation is 10008484

if the priceless one works, I'll try to find the website again. I think you have to search on "priceless national coupon". You can not find it on the priceless website anymore, but it's still on the web.

they both expire 12/31/04

[NHLFAN]

I just checked rates again and saved $37.64 on a new reservation!

Thanks for the info...

I just checked this afternoon and saved another $26 !!! :D

[peacefulgirl]

My national went up for Jan 4th, so no saving there, glad I kept my old one seperate!

Alot depends on the date you are going. If they have alot of cars unreserved, they will drop the price. If you are not going until March, they probably are not looking at those dates yet. Most of the people who posted drops are going in the next 2 or 3 weeks. Mine is still $122 (priceless, $20 entertainment coupon,EA), it dropped from $130 last Monday, $142 at the end of Sept.

Is this code for Alamo or National or both ???

[peacefulgirl]

I went to priceless site and it put in the codes and the price went way up from ORless mousesavers code, like doubled ! with cookies cleared ... YIKES !
