We are paying $224 for a midsize (Corolla) from National, from 1/4 returning 1/10. Used the KLM contract code and this rate includes all fees, LDW, and supplemental comprehensive insurance.

Try Budget and use travelocity code x474200 and minvan is $359inc taxes. The coupons expire Dec 31 but you can add one later and get another $30 off when you return vehicle to bring it down to $329.

Oooh glad I found this thread!!

Thanks for that Budget code, that is bar far the best that I've found yet.
Looking for SUV or Minivan from 1/12 to 1/21, with the code it was $415 with all fees.

Just to restate what others have said, keep checking as I predict the prices will go down. I held a car just incase they don't.
We went last year the same time for the same duration and prices were over $600 until late November when they dropped dramatically. By that point I had gotten nervous enough that I booked with a priceline auction and was stuck.
I'm going to wait it out this year with the Budget backup.

Sure hope rats lower! Took a look for January 16- January 23 and I about died! Hope to hear about some great deals in the near future!

If anyone is interested in Alamo use 'Vroom Vroom' ID 299851 and get an upgrade with coupon code AU4234FDA
(found this here on the transportation board and tried it for my Jan dates)

Jan 19-26 (7 days Sat-Sat) prices are the final total
Economy $185, Standard (after coupon) $201, Full (after coupon) $223
Midsize SUV $256
Standard SUV $315, Luxury $335, Minivan $337, Fullsize SUV 369, 15 Pass Van $572

Give your dates a try. The vroom vroom code has been used by many sucessfully without being asked for any additional information (vroom vroom vroom.com is an actual website for car rentals) The rate isn't as good through the vroom website though so put the codes in manually through Alamo.

I booked mine for the dates shown. So much better than the $350 reservation I had for a midsize!

I used ID 299851 from that email and it worked for me.

The quote I got from it was the lowest that I've seen.

go to Alamo website

click new reservation

enter dates and times and airport

in the ID box enter 299851

in the coupon code box enter AU4234FDA

click continue and you will see your rates. If you use the dates I put in my example you will get the same rates I posted. If you use different dates the rate may vary but you should still see a really good price compared to what you would get without an ID and coupon code.

The ID worked for me, but not the coupon code. But it was still a great price.

Didn't do anything for me, but I will keep watching. I guess $300 isn't bad for a minivan, but I would still like it cheaper. We have 6 ppl this trip, so my choices are very slim.

This coupon expires December 31, 2012.

in the coupon code box enter AU4234FDA

mkymsehi · 09-27-2012, 04:23 PM

Patience everyone, the prices will likely be reduced at the end of the year. Last year, prices for January, 2012 dropped right around December 15th, 2011.

I had a compact booked at $107.57 on 11/30/11. I re-booked on 12/15/12, and got it for $77.37.

Coupon at the time was for $40 off a weekly rate at Alamo.

I have used this coupon code for my January reservation. It was accepted. But, this entry made me nervous, so I went back to double check. This code is from the Entertainment book, and mine says it is good until 6/30/13. Whew. I'd still like to save more, but my current rate, using the Vroom Vroom code and the double upgrade one from Alamo gives me a weekly rate of $223.37. (full size car). If anyone is coming up with better deals, please share!
