April 2013 Car Rental Discount Thread

[bigfish32]

Is anyone else renting a minivan? I'm finding $376 all included through Dollar the cheapest so far. (April 10 noon -April17th5pm) should I book and be happy with this? Never rented a van out of MCO before!

Use budget with codes from earlier pages here. Ends up right around or less than 300. One is a Travelocity code and the second one starts with MU....

I have one rented from budget out of Dayton using the codes mentioned above x474200 and mupz044. 9 days for $331. Maybe you can get something similar. Only issue is airport rates are usually higher

I. Am using ME to get to Disney. Then budget is picking us up and taking us to the location on hotel blvd. then we are dropping off at the airport. If you can do that with the same codes I got a price of $240 for yor dates but I did not adjust the times. The code for that location is M03

Yay! Thanks everyone! I went through budget for $312. I don't think that is that bad?!

Hi Amy - keep watching - the minivan i cancelled last week was $264, taxes incl, through Budget. They will come down!!

 

[bigfish32]

Plus I am almost positive the price with the mup... Code does NOT show the discount. You have to make sure they take off the $40? When you return the car. So the price may be even less. Someone ease correct me if I'm wrong.....

 

[lovingthemouse]

Funny you should say that because tonight, for the first time, their page mentioned that the discount was already included. Has anyone else seen that?

 

[bigfish32]

Rebooked just now. New price shows the 40 off coupon which is great! Minivan for 8 days for 312 total! Yay!

I know! I feel much better and the price dropped a bit too. I was at 359 without coupon and now am at 312 with coupon. I don't know if I will be able to get it any cheaper for a minivan for 8 days. I'll take it!

Thanks so much for this info
My rental just went from 468.47 with National to 425.42 with Alamo using these codes.
My question before I cancel National is will I need to show any physical coupon?
Also, I printed out my confirmation and the rental price does not show on the confirmation...its on the page Im looking at but when I print it the dollar amt of the rental does not show up. Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks again for the info,

Karen

I believe the $30 Coupon you have to pay with a visa and the other corp code is if you are a southwest rapid rewards member.
You should have received an email with the price showing on the confirmation page.

Has it been determined if a visa debit can be used for the discount? Thanks in advance

OK, so just rechecked with National and their rate also went down from what I originally had for a 13 day minivan. $468 to $437. I am going to use National as I dont want to use a Visa card as I would be required to do with Budget.

So with National I used Contract ID 5007125 and coupon code NWEBCPN027, so now I need to know what, if any, actual coupon do I possibly need to show for that coupn code?National site says "you have used a coupon that may need to be shown"...Grrr...

Thanks,

Karen

I've noticed this week that I can't get the full confirmation to print out either. If you try to print as soon as you book, the price and dollar amounts for the different fees won't print. If you wait and try to print from your email, the bar code, confirmation number, and parts of your dates and type of car rented doesn't show up. I can't get the full confrmation to print either way.

Also if I try to go back and pull up the reservation on the Alamo site, it won't let me. It says something about not being able to modify this reservation online and gives a number to call. I don't want to modify it, I just want to see it.

So I guess Alamo really does have a few problems with the website. It won't let me make a reservation to begin at 5:30 pm at the Tampa airport... it tells me to choose a new time... The location isn't open at this time. (Last I checked it is open 24hrs a day.

Off to clear cookies and have another go at it!

When I print mine from the email I get the whole document including price and breakdown but I am not sure what you are referring to when you say bar code because I don't show a bar code on my reservation?? I have booked about 6 times with Alamo because the price keeps dropping and I wanted to cancel all the previous reservations but I get the same message as you referred to. I did here someone say because there is a coupon attached to it you can not modify the reservation but that doesn't make sense to me but I have never tried to just pull it up to look at it. I am considering calling Alamo to cancel previous ones but I am afraid they will cancel the one I want to keep also. After rereading my message I feel like I didn't offer any help, sorry
