Anyone use ENTERTAIN code at Dollar?

[mirlow]

I just tried this code and it saved me $47 on a minivan ($230 vs $249 a wk). I could save $139 on a full size for 2 wks but we decided to go with the minivan for more room and the built in carseats. This is the best deal I could find, and I have spent MANY hours online trying to get a decent price. We are doing a one way rental and some of the prices I came across for a minivan were over $1,000 for 2 wks

Why dosen't someone just call the 800 number at Dollar and ask the rep if there are any restrictions when using the code "entertain"?

I called the #800 and you don't need a coupon, AAA card or any special ID for use of code MCC, ENTERTAIN or FVG as travelcoupons has implied. I have the 2002 Entertainment Book and there is no coupons for Dollar Rent A Car. My husband and I have already used the MCC code with no problem on a business trip to Orlando (MCO). I suggest if anyone is concerned call the toll free number, 1-800-800-3665. Codes targeted towards spanish speakers?? Wow, now that's one I never heard of.

I already called when the thread first started, but was given a very vague answer. The operator says 'it would be nice if you have the coupon'. I told her I don't, and she says I'll be taking a chance.

So, I really don't know, but I'm going to keep this ressie.

'it would be nice if you have the coupon"

I guess that would imply that there is a coupon in some edition of the Entertainment Book somewhere or..........the rep is not familiar
with the rate code and just stated that to cover for his/her lack
of knowledge. A email to Dollar would probably clarify everthing
and save some people a hassle after a longggg flight. I would email them but I don't use Dollar.

I wonder if this code is for the 2003 Entertainment book which will be due out in about a month or 2?? (DOLLAR is not one of the car rental companies in the 2002 edition.)


This code could not have come from a conference because the code works NATIONWIDE

 

[mata3]

Unlikely that it orginated from a yet to be published edition of Entertainment......it mostly came from a special promotion aimed at a conference or group that someone got a hold of and published on a travel board such as this one.

Again a simple email may save alot of worry and disappointment.

if this code is time limited....as might be the case with a conference etc.... it seems to work for first week in december....

just an observation

I should of post this earlier here, but I can tell everyone that the promo code MCC is from the "Official Orlando Accommodations Guide" which I received in a Florida Information/Coupon package "free" in the mail. It is an ad for the state of Florida, a Dollar Rent A Car ad, in this small type magazine and is offered to anyone who knows about it.

I am using this code tomorrow with a late arrival to MCO. I will post in a day or so my experience.

Thanks Niagara2, keep us posted.

FYI. I tried the MCC code for a mid-July compact car rental, and it doesn't save me more money than FISH. Entertain is still the cheapest so far.

Niagara2, which code?....entertain or MCC

 

[Niagara2]

Entertain - Full size for a week $140 plus taxes. Wish me luck!

they are using the entertain code..

I cannot say this enough:

TRY ALL OF THE CODES!

I think that it depends on the type of vehicle - date of stay - length of stay or another factor because even though everyone else got better rates with a different code I got the best rate for what I wanted with MCC. I keep trying the new codes too! But I don't think that I will beat $289 for a minivan for 10 days!

After reading this thread, I decided to check rates using different codes for 5 days, starting Nov. 6. This is for a compact (neon)

Codes FISH, FVG, and MCC were all a base of $124.95
Code Entertain was $150.00
No Code was $204.85

So, it definitely pays to find out about codes and try different ones.

 

[mata3]

We know you should try all the rates, the initial thought behind this thread was if there were any restrictions or coupons needed when using the Entertain code.

Niagara2 said she would be picking up a car tonight using the Entertain code and report back... Hopefully we will hear from her soon!

Hello from rain drenched WDW!! Yes - still raining HARD but go for it guys - arrived an hour late, almost midnight on Tuesday and no one at counter but us and three very nice Dollar clerks. We checked in no problem, signed contract with same ENTERTAIN confirmation price from web booking, and drove away in minutes in a almost brand new full size Intriped with only 800 miles on it. It was a great easy expereince. Hope it works for all of you as easy. We were never asked for any coupon or anything. I didn't have the nerve to ask what it meant - sorry. Well - on to MK as they say it might not rain later.
