April 2014 car rentals

[Tallent]

Sorry, yes I did. I used xz53043 But I actually just used the klm code instead and got it down to 240.

Also just added a double upgrade coupon NU1626ADE. (for National)

It says you may be asked for the coupon so this is where I got it. Good through July of next year

I am holding 2 reservations right now. Both National with the KLM code. One for a midsize emerald aisle for 291 and one for a standard (which is fullsize) for 301. My rental period is April 12 to 22. We rent this week every year, but this time Easter falls within the time frame, so I am not sure I will see it lower!

I just checked and I paid $198 for a standard/full size with Alamo for 10 days the same week in 2013. And it was rebooked MANY times, with the best price 3 weeks out from the trip. My August trip our best price out was about a week before!

Dollar rates are down for MCO this morning. Late April...8 days...standard...
235.00 total. Not the best, but far less than others.

I always start on Kayak. If you are looking close to Easter, prices have been on the high side.

If you are a member. some of the wholesale clubs have some competitive rates also. I have my car reserved at MCO using BJs Club Travel. It is about $266 for a week. I am going the week before Easter. A mini van from Dollar for the week of 04/12 is $382 (including tax) a week at SFB on http://travel.bjs.com. I also find Costco travel to be pretty competitive too. Costco is about $525 from Alamo for the same time.

DHand I are renting a car this year and even for our 5 day/4 night trip it's about $180. Is that the going rate these days? We haven't rented a car for anything since 2010!

What kind of car and from where?

It was either compact or midsize. We are both too tall for a compact car. I found those through Kayak. Did find a better deal through our Chase rewards account but I still want to wait!

I was checking rates for an April 2014 rental on BJ's site - travel/rental cars and noted a National link for discounts. I clicked on it and it shows six or seven different discounts all with a stated expiration date of 12/31/15. Except for a double upgrade coupon when I tried the other discounts through the National site I got the message the coupon would expire prior to the rental date. Anyone know why these coupons are not working?

Double post.

]I called national to see why the coupon expiring 12/31/15 was not working, and they were not helpful - actually bordering on rude. It seems that the coupon actually expires 12/31/13. It clearly states 2015, but I was getting too frustrated to argue.

Seems like every year end there is a bit of a lag with BJ's before coupons are good. In past I called and added coupons closer to reservation without any problem

I'm looking at a price of $385 at Thrifty for a SUV 4/17-24. For that price, I can hire a company to drive me Cocoa Beach in their Escalade, rent a car there for three days, and have the car service drive me back to MCO after my cruise.

You're right where we are, or maybe better - I've got a full size 4/6-4/12 for just about $400. Hoping the prices will drop as we get closer, because I've honestly never seen them this high.

Found a $30 off weekly rental at National. Used with KLM code to get 6 day rental in late April for $185!

KLM: 8572130
$30 Off: NDA2324BR

Tried to post the link to the coupon, but it wouldn't let me. If you google national car rental coupon code, you should find it.

Here's the link in case anyone needs it.

The KLM code is a decent rate, but I noticed it includes all insurance, etc. I've heard people say there will be a problem if the car is involved in an accident. Should I be wary of the codes that are all inclusive. I've read that many people use this KLM code.
