I see that people say that after they have their rental car ressie they have checked back and gotten a better rate. Do you have to "check back" and then call the rental company (National in my case) if you see a better rate or does the new,lower rate automatically get applied to your ressie? Thanks so much for your help.:D
 
I have gone back and modified my ressie and gotten the better rate and I have also just gone and made a new one and cancelled the other one and gotten a better rate that way.
 
Beverly Lynn, thanks so much for such a quick response. Now ,not to sound TOO dense, but I know what you mean when you say that you cancelled your original ressie and made a new one, but how do you modify an existing ressie? Is it something that can be done on your computer, if the original ressie was put in that way? Just how do you modify the ressie? Thanks again for all the help, these boards are FABULOUS:D
 
when you go to pull up your ressie with say national (ZL) it says something to the effect of modifying it I wish I could remember the exact words now....click on where it says pull up existing reservation and then when it comes up change it
 

Go to the National website. Click on Change Reservations. Enter your name and reservation number and you can change an exitisting reservation on the following screens.
 
Generally, working with the Modify Reservation screen will not get you the new lower rate or allow you to add coupons/discounts and have them applied. It's much easier to make a new reservation and then cancel the old one.
