August car rental

[Team Bunch]

Hi! In past years I have found better car rental deals by watching a monthly car rental thread. Please comment if you have found any good deals for August, thank you!

Only have a not good to me, but will pay that price, from Costco discount on Alamo, via booking on Costco Travel website. I like to have a car.

I do the rinse and repeat until the day before I leave. If I find a lower price, I cancel and rebook.

Does a July thread exist? Nothing came up in the search.

Alert....rental prices for Alamo have dropped significantly over the past couple of days. I did mine through Costco Travel....I went from $629 for a full size to $459 for a full size SUV 8/22-9/2 Intermediate SUV was $429 this morning through Costco and $452 with Alamo Insiders.
For that price difference, I will pay a bit extra for gas!!!

Yay did go down, both for my week in August and two weeks in September.

But will still do that check to see current pricing, then book and cancel if find lower price.

I just rebooked through Costco / Alamo - went from a full size car to a standard SUV and saved $230.

We've always booked through Costco with Budget or Avis, because they always wound up being the cheapest option, but our August trip is fast approaching and I'm shocked.. it looks like we'll be using Alamo this time around. Not upset about it, have heard great things about Alamo, just shocked how much more expensive Budget and Avis have been and the fact that their prices didn't drop!
