November 2014 Car Rentals

[Halle]

Using the code Kisse I got a standard rental from 11/8-11/14 for $140.79 all taxes/surcharges included.

It looks like one of the Dollar codes for an Orlando discount.

Checked again today on Dollar. Was 207 on Tuesday, 201 yesterday, 199 today, at this rate it will be free by the time our trip starts.

Is dollar a good company? No bait and switch, clean cars, etc?
Are they onsite at Wdw at all?

It is through Dollar, sorry I omitted that in my post.
Sign up for Dollar Express and you go straight to the parking garage, no waiting at the counter.
New clean cars at MCO, not the case in other cities.

My Dollar reservation dropped quite a bit again today (using AAA code). Might want to check yours again, if you haven't already. I'm renting in JAX but perhaps other locations have dropped as well!

Down to 191 now for standard from Dollar

 

[peterssm]

Jworthy, is that price including all taxes and fees for a week-long rental?

Dollar midsize car down from $165 to $138 with the AAA discount for Thanksgiving weekend!
Alamo midsize car down from $188 to $145 with a free weekend coupon for Thanksgiving weekend!

That is for Nov 8-20, using AAA code for standard, includes all taxes and fees. Full size currently $228. Not sure if it is worth upgrading.

What AAA code is everyone using, mine is up for my 10/30-11/11?

Depends on your location. Here's the link for the discount codes for Dollar Car Rental.

Alamo's rates just dropped. For 11/14-11/18 it went from $165 to $120 in two days. Keep in mind Alamo's toll policies are one of the most reasonable.

We are down to $122 with Thrifty and $124 with Dollar for 11/7 - 11/15 Started the week off with a $170 ressie so I can't complain!!! Keep checking with Alamo and Budget to see if they come in close. I like picking my own car out with Alamo but not for $40 more.

I do like that both have the preregister avoid the line feature like Alamo. Rental car lines at MCO are the pits!

What Thrifty codes are you using?

What Thrifty codes are you using?

It is the AAA discount code. It is unique to the club that you belong to so you have to look it up but it seems to be a good, significant discount. They will ask to see your card usually so make sure you have it and it's active

AAA/CAA codes

Dollar,AAA rate for 12 days dropped to 171 for standard and 218 for premium. Full sized jumped up more than $200. Currently reserved a premium, but not sure if the extra $47 dollars is worth it. Anyone know the quality and size difference?

 

[mdurette]

Just rebooked with Dollar City special - $174 total cost for a premium 11/15 to 11/22.

Noticed the compacts base rate was around $85 - add fees I would assume around $120ish once done.

Down to $112 this AM with Thrifty for Wildcard. Dollar was $114 Crazy!!
