Can I get a better non DC minivan rate than $209 for Halloween week?

[readyalready]

Add me to the challenged list. Best I have found is the dollar 209 plus tax. I'm in the minority but don't have the Disney Club card. I am thinking about getting an Entertainment book but wanted to find out if it would save me any before buying. (I also need to get a full size for inlaws 10/28-11/2) My dates are 10/26-11/2. We do belong to EC and I like the idea of the choice because I remember someone posting about one van that is bigger and getting it from Emerald Choice (but I don't remember which one, guess that would help too). Thanks for any help, pluto you up for another one?

$209 is a good rate (includes taxes?) I came up with $299 on EC. The chevy astro van or GMC safari is the larger one.

as for the full size, no saturday night so that coupon doesn't work

Usually in Orlando, Dollar is the lowest for minivans. The DC is not going to help you there. For cars though, I have found National w/the DC usually comes out best for us.

209 is about the lowest you will find a Minivan in Orlando. Sometimes you can find one for 199 but that is not all that common anymore.

Check the AVIS web site using the "Fall Getaway Rates" under Avis Deals. You should get a $179 a week mini-van.
Good Luck

Thanks everyone, especially mickmin, I was able to get the 179 rate! I'm sure we'll find another use for that $30.
