Heading down to Orlando next month and trying to get everything reserved. Normally I rent my car ahead of time figuring I was getting a better deal. I've been using Budget and have been happy.
Using an offer code, checking 3/13-3/17 the prices have been going up and down for the past week. I'm anxious to reserve and cross it off my list, but it seems like I could probably get a better deal if I waited until the last minute.
For example, an intermediate SUV is $239.72 (+ taxes/etc.) for those dates if I book now, using the best offer code I can find, and choose the 'pay now rate'.
However, if I check 2/20-2/24 prices (just 2 days away) I can get the same intermediate SUV for $193.54 (+ taxes/etc.).
As far as I know there's nothing special 3/13-3/17, and as a matter of fact this week is a February vacatino week so I would think 2/20-2/24 would be higher!
Am I missing something or is it very likely that prices will be cheaper if I wait until my dates get closer to reserve?
Thanks!
