National Vs. Budget

[sc2001]

OK, I'm now driving myself crazy - arriving MCO at 12:30AM on 9/1 and staying til 9/4 (four day rental). Since May I have had a "class A - toyota tercel or similar" reserved at Budget for 121.03 less $10 coupon. This was the best I could do at the time. That's still the best price for Budget (we are fastbreak members) but now I find that I can get National EA (we have this also) for $105.69. Seems like a no-brainer to take the EA, but how do they work the coupons, etc? To get this rate I put in the DC contract ID and then put in the coupon # from a coupon I have in my entertainment club book for a free weekend day (guess I could have used the DC coupon also). Will I have a problem having used two discounts - the confirmation shows them both and the computer seemed to let me double up so i assume it's ok. Will i have to go to the counter even though the reservation says my choice of car from the EA? Where we are getting in at such a horrible time I don't want any problems, and I am afraid to cancel the Budget reservation because the EA price seems to good to be true. Sorry this is so long - thanks for your help!

Nothing wrong with what you are doing. You can use 1 coupon and 1 contract ID per rental. Main thing is to have the coupon available when you arrive at the aisle and a printed copy of you confirmation in case there is any questions as to the rate.

Using 2 Discounts for National is fine. One Contract discount, (DC, Capitol One, EC, etc,,,)Show your Disney Club card and take a printout of the contract discount page, and One Coupon Discount, (yes you could have used the DC coupon, give it a try), or you can use the Entertainment Book coupon, any coupon is fine as long as you can present it when you p/u the car:)

Thanks for your help. I was so afraid I had done something wrong, and at 12:30 in the morning I won't be in the mood to deal with problems. Leaving for New Orleans on Monday and then on to the WDW (Beach Club) on Thursday night!!!!

No - but now I am confused. I did post that, but have no idea how that username appeared. It really is a mystery to me except someone else in my family must be posting, and based on the user name I can guess who.......She must have logged in and forgotten to log out and I didn't realize I was in under that name. Based on the post number I guess she hasn't posted yet!
