I am new to this car renting thing - usually DH does it, but he has been extremely busy with work so I said that I would deal with the car rental.

Anyway, I only need a car for 24 hours (we plan to stay with a friend in Ocala our first night - then drive to Disney and rely on Disney transportation). It seems that you guys are getting some good rates. I booked through Alamo for $66.85 for a 24 hour period and this includes 2 booster seats and it's for a mid-size SUV. We want to pick up at the airport and drop off at Disney (currently with Alamo, that would be the car care center). That seemed to be the best price when compared with Avis, National, Budget, Hertz, and Dollar. I can't find a coupon to use since it's for a 24 hour rental. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I got a Chevy Equinox for May 21-28 with Alamo for 94.56 taxes included!

I would love to see if you can do this using both codes. The link for Alamo's coupon says in the bottom "not to be used with any other discount codes"... Hope it works!

First off, thanks everyone! I am glad I looked at this thread. I didn't even think to use my Costco or BJ membership to use for discounts. I haven't rented a car in at least 10 yrs! We were thinking of flying but the rental car killed the deal. However, with the Costco or BJ's discount it cuts the price almost in half of what I first saw.

I do have a question that hopefully someone can answer: I have many reward points on my credit cards that I have been saving. I can request 2 $100 gift certs. to Avis for a rental. Would I be able to use those along with the Costco discount? TIA

You may have to call their '800' number to ask them about that one. I have never had enough reward points in any program to use it for a rental car. That would be valuable info to post here for others if you called them to find that one out!

Great rates!!!
Can you share with me what code(s) you used for the National October rental.
Thank you

I would like to know too, please!

That's what this thread is for.....bragging! So the rest of us can get as good a deal as you did!

I am still looking for the better deal in October, too!
