[lovingthemouse]

It is another car rental site - usually are lowest as your time grows closer...take a look and see if you can find some good prices.

I just wanted to say thank you guys for the KLM code. It saved me at least $200 extra from my previous quote with National.

I don't know if you guys seen the Compass Group code or not, but it's actually even cheaper than the KLM one, except it doesn't have insurance. Which is what I needed, so the KLM works out cheaper for me. If you guys don't need insurance, this one is probably one of the best ones.
Contract ID XZ53043
Company name is Compass Group.

Hi

When I pick up a rental van, using Budget code X474200 and MUPZ044, will I be asked to submit a coupon with the code on it?

Not that I am aware of. Travelocity code is for the public and the second is an ecode. From what I have read on here make sure they take the discount off for the second one after you return the car. It is not reflected in the price when you book it.

Try using Hertz for April rentals using the VISA CDP listed on Mousesavers.

I actually get better rates ( about $60 lower than those from that site ) for a weekly rental using this $30 off coupon for Florida rentals . It says it expires at end of Feb, and I get an error message, but it knocks off about $60.

Does anyone know if you need anything to use the Compass Group contract id? I'm getting a nice rate using it.

People seems to be able to use it without getting ask. But use it at your own risk. I actually prefer the KLM one now since I signed up for their membership for their free rental insurance.

Hoping to pay it forward here... from a March renter's post

Contract code: 8572130 (KLM)
coupon code: NF1073JFF (visa free day)

I was able to get a 7 passenger van for $290. taxes included. Certainly hope this helps some of you.

I just used this code. Hope I don't need to present any coupon!

Hi Everyone,

I have been able to get much lower rates using the old American Express code 5125601. It has beat the KLM code by a lot. The only thing it hasn't beat is the suspicious Unigraphics code which many people are concerned about using.

Good luck!

Which company? Alamo? I don't remembe.

Thanks!

My apologies. It's with National. I have a much better rate with National than I have been able to get with Alamo for my dates. Alamo isn't even close. Unless someone has a code they care to share.

Wow, I almost fell off my chair when I check my rental with this code. I booked a Luxury car for 1 week in Maui and the KLM quote got me $420 total. This code quoted me $1076 total and without insurance . It's even more than without any code. Gotta be careful when checking. Full size and below seems like a good deal thou.

Ummm, yes. You checked for a week in Maui. This is a thread about people checking rates for Disney World, in Orlando, in April.

So yes, it's not surprising the code was not the same for Hawaii.

Might be a silly question but, do you need to have an American Express?

 

[Steamboat Girlie]

I just had a question, when I used the KLM code,
it says that supplemental liability insurance is included.
Does anyone know what that means?

 

[MarthaJr.]

American Express Code and KLM code both make my rate go up. I used no code at all and got the best price!

 

[spel]

I tried that Amex code on the National website & it said coupon not valid. Any advice??

Try the numbers in the contract id box rather than coupon box
