Looking for a mini-van 12/3-12/8. Coupons are not working because of no Saturday stay, (even though most companies are charging the full week rate) Has anyone ever just put that they would be returning it on Sunday and returned early on Saturday?

Returning a day early will get your charges repriced at the shorter time pricing.

We have a standard SUV reserved through Budget for our Christmas trip (December 23 - 30) for $220. Total with tax is $302, then we have a $25 coupon to reduce it down a bit more.

Run your dates using the discount code X474200 (its a Travelocity public code) and coupon MUWZ023.

You can also get a premium car with Avis through Costco for $241 inc taxes.

Won't work for me. Not a Costco member and we want a larger vehicle (an SUV or minivan....yup, even for just 3 people.....we like our space!).

Hopefully that will help someone else, though.

Just got a midsize with Dollar for 12/19-27 for $211.35. No code needed. Used the City Special. I had National booked for $244 so I'll happily take $211 even if it means I can't just jump in my car & go.

Just canceled my dollar resv and booked with budget , 10 days dec 7-17 with a midsize ( free upgrade) for 260.00 , it only saves 40.00 BUT with rentals over 200.00 there is no extra hold on our visa which I like since I hate having all that money on hold while on vacation.

What discount codes or coupons did you use?

Just go to budget.com and there is a link for 18.00 a day and 21.00 a day i think, and follow the link. It was a great deal and because if your rental is more then 200.00 there us no extra hold ( dollar was almost 200.00 ! ) it makes it a better deal.

Just reserved a Premium size (Nissan Maxima or similar) at Enterprise for $114.97 per week.
We had to reserve for the dates of DEc 13 thru Dec 27th (2 weeks) and our total for everything is $323.42 out the door.
That beats our Dollar rental for the same size vehicle by $15.00. We don't really need a car that big, but the price was good. And that means $15.00 more towards the gas I guess.
Doesn't Enterprise give the second driver free where Dollar doesn't ? WE have the cards for both Dollar and Enterprise. Am I better off keeping the Enterprise and dumping the Dollar ressie? What do you think?

did you use any codes for the price? I'm looking for Dec8-15 and can't come close!

jgraney106 · 11-12-2012, 02:59 PM

Southernswthrt, I just checked your dates and mine , and your right the prices went up since this morning when I reserved !!! I didn't use any code, just have the Enterprise card. Boy I guess I must have been lucky on this !!

hsmamato2 · 11-12-2012, 03:57 PM

prices for al of december are currently HIGH

I had thought maybe we'd see discount as we get closer....I still have the Advantage res,which is a great price, but it's no longer that price when just looking!

mzozzietj · 11-13-2012, 12:12 PM

I agree, they seem to be up right now for December. I priced our Dollar reservation and it's about double right now what we booked it at. Ours is $140 total for 8 days.
