Car Rental - Help!

[Steve on LI]

I am a number cruncher, and am trying to budget my trip for next year (6/23/02 - 7/5/02). I am trying to find a Car rental deal similar to the one I had this past May from National. I had a Mini Van for 11 Days, and it cost me $385 with taxes and fees. I checked mousavers.com and I'm having no luck getting decent rates for next year. Does anyone know of any specials for next year? I'm not loyal to National, as I rented from Dollar the previous year. However, I'd still like to use an agency at MCO as I have too many kids to tote around on shuttle busses. Thanks in Advance to all!

wait and be patient...just like the airlines, the great rates don't start popping up until 3 ot 4 months before you go....they have plenty of vans, so I would wait until 4 months before you go and then book the best deal, but check two to three times a week minimum, and see if the price doesn't drop by about a 60 days before you go...Ted
