August 2012 Car Rental Thread

[Mich Mouse]

Is the KLM code posted on this thread? I am not having any luck with the BJs and Costco coupon codes. It's a KLM frequent flier code, correct?

My dates are 8/4-8/12 picking up/dropping off at 7:00. I cannot get a reservation for less than 250.00. I would appreciate any advice

Could someone please answer my questions? I can't locate the KLM code.

My minivan for 8/23 - 9/3 was just booked for $330 complete with taxes I used insiders and $35 coupon
Yesterday it was $383.

My Dollar City Special is still the best one for me ($146 for 10 days in a mid-size - total with taxes is $222).

Alamo no matter what codes I use is between $400-$500.

I know the question has been answered, but if you use the board search feature, you'll find an entire thread about the KLM code and its use.

Yes, I'm aware but the search is not working for me which is why I asked. Is the code 8572130 for Alamo because I'm being told it is invalid when I attempt to utilize it.

The KLM code is for National.

Why is everyone but me getting good rates? My minivan price is still crazy high.

 

[buffettgirl]

alamo insider rate was down again tonight (looks like an extra discount was applied) so wiht 35 coupon I am down to 121.95 total with tax.

 

[artesian]

budget via costco is currently winning. 152 for 8 days plus 2 hrs. finding myself checking 3 times a day now

Many thanks for the responses. I am still at the same rate I booked in February. I'm thinking it may be due to our Saturday night arrival- probably the busiest day of the week.

Best minivan rental rate for FLA airports is X474200. That gives you a weekly rate of $225+. Throw in one of the coupons floating around and it usually goes down to somewhere around $275 taxes in.

going with Budget so far...

 

[buffettgirl]

dollar has better city rates tonight and has them on minivans too.

Check those Alamo rates, everyone.......

My reservation is down another $10 this afternoon .

We now have a standard car for one week for $123 all taxes and fees included.

Mine was down another $10 to $147 for 8/24-8/31 for a standard with additional driver.

Love that free additional driver!

As prices continue to drop, it lends oneself to wondering......how low will the rates go?

We got a compact for $68 all-in with Alamo for our New Years trip, then were upgraded to an intermediate (I think....it was a Chevy HHR). Would love, love, love to see our August rentals come in under $100!

Seems like Alamo rates are down only with pickup at MCO
That gives me between $115-121, total, depending on code and coupon.

Plugging in any other location around the World gives me the same rate I've got (or slightly higher) - $220 midsize, Aug 7-14.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't mind driving in, but we're arriving on a way late flight, and these eyes don't see so well after midnight anymore
So, I guess I'll just keep poking, and hope something turns up
