april 2011 car rental offical thread

[rdevine10]

Hi everyone,

Was looking and I couldnt find the offical thread, perhaps there isnt one yet?

Always looking for a better deal!!!!!! Right now we are staying the 14th till the 27th (of april), with a standard size car via Alamo with the costco codes of 25% off and a free upgrade, total is $326 for nearly 2 weeks rental, which isnt too bad!

Anyone get any deals yet for april?

edited to change this to the offical thread for april 2011!

You could try National with the continental code 5007160. Looks like mid $200's inclusive depending on your times. You should be able to find a free upgrade for emerald aisle or a money off coupon to add later.

We just did a National compact for 9 days for $221. Picked up and dropped at MCO. I mention that because sometimes it's cheaper to pick up drop at Dolphin.

I ended up flying into Tampa this April. It was much cheaper than MCO. I also rented a Caddillac DTS for a week for $192. I got a discount for being an Emerald Club member and used a coupon from the Entertainment Book.

I must be doing something wrong. I am looking for a rental for April 22 to 29. We need a car that can hold 5 people. I am a member at B.J.'s wholesale club. However, I cannot seem to get a rate cheaper than $600 for the week. What am I missing?

While not in Florida, I am finding COSTCO CODES along with the coupons the cheapest when searching for Arizona. Currently I have 9 days in April (spring break) for Standard size car at $234 using the Costco code and the $30 off a weekly rental. For $5 more I can get a full size (with upgrade BUT I don't know if there would be an upgrade as rental is starting off-site and returning at PHX). I am hoping I can find Alamo or something at airport closer to the dates but will take this. I have no problem booking and rebooking.

Try here:

There are several options starting at about $300 including taxes and fees.

I have a Chevy Tahoe reserved with Enterprise at Sanford Airport, $303 total for the week of April 16-23rd. That's the off the rake rate with No codes and it's still available online. That's the cheapest car I could find, codes or no codes, everything else at Sanford starting with the economy cars is about $500-$600. I'm always open to codes and any suggestions.
Good luck all,
Joe

With 5 people you would be much more comfortable for a week in a minivan than a car. Looks like a minvan with Budget would be $277.47 inc taxes and after $25.00 coupon is applied at checkout. Use BCD Number X474200 (travelocity public code) and E-Coupon MUWZ023.

Hi, I just entered the codes at Budget for a minivan, Apr 29 thru May 8 for a total of $418. It doesn't seem to take the coupon off. Is it reflected when you check out? I thought it said e-coupon which I would expect it to be reflected online. I am still looking for codes and will post any others I find here as well that might be better. I remember Mousesaver's mentioning Minivans for an awesome price, I must have missed the timeframe for those. There are 7 in our party.

The coupon will be deducted from the total online when you return the vehicle.
