I've been looking for good rates for a minivan for a while using all the various codes from mousesavers and the entertainment book. The best I have so far is the $25 coupon from EB. We are going 1/26-2/06. :moped:

I know the codes usually get better the closer you get to your trip but I just don't want the minivans to be sold out when I finally get a good price.

Should I book now and just keep checking back to see if the rates go down?
 
that sounds awful high, try the alamo website, there is are things you can use, I am sure.
 
I've tried every code from mousesavers to whatever they've posted on here and that's the best I can get so far.

I tried the codes you had in your post but I got $589.68 for a total.

Are the rates maybe higher in my area (Syracuse)?



suevee,

Can you post your codes so I can try them at Dollar? Thanks!

Dollar shows me $783.64 and no unlimited mileage for my dates. I'm trying to go through the promotional advertisement of $189/week but it doesn't show up that way (like the promo code doesn't work).
 
Weluvdisny, did you check the Dollar discount that I told posted? If you put in MAG into the promo code area, the total cost is $408.

I put in to pick up on January 26th, and then drop off on Feb 6th, at MCO airport. If you want I can book it from my computer, I would just need your name(first and last) and your email address. Are you putting in for the Chevy Venture, or the Chevy Astro??? I put in for the chevy venture.

try typing in:

ID code-430710
rate code-QVW
Coupon code-DT9B

and see what happens, but like I said I would be more than happy to book it from my computer, as I tried it this morning and got the same rate I got last night. HTH
 
We are driving down so I need it from Syracuse to Syracuse. I think the rates are better in Orlando.

Cra-z,
I tried your codes and got $506.71.

princesspumpkin,

I tried the MAG code and it wouldn't work (probably because I'm picking it up in Syracuse). Thanks for the info!

Hi! I just used your info, and saved about $75. But I have no clue whether I need coupons or what! Can you tell me what I would need to use them! Memberships, cards, or whatever!

Thanks!

Tobes.
 
For dollar, I am getting a pretty good rate with COM24 (189/wk) but can't seem to get any discount off that. It won't accept the corporate ID 430710 or the BJ's corp ID of BJ5013. Are there any corporate ID's that will work/ Also, where did you get the coupon and where on the website do you enter it?

I appreciate all the help I can get.

Thanks

Steve

Those are just general codes except the $15.00 off a weekly rental. That coupon I got off their website...it is not a paper coupon, it is an e-coupon they call it. So you do not have to bring anything except maybe a print-out of your ressie confirmation. Have a blast, glad I could save you some $$$. :teeth:
