Car or mini Van CHEAP rental??

[Bonny544]

Help.....I'm in a state of confusion with all the rental car "deals". Who can help me out? There will be 2 adults and 2 kids ( age 5 and 6) needing a decent size car or mini van rental. Thanks everyone!!!!

Check out http://www.budget.com/deals/hotdeals/planahead.jsp

They have an internet special for $199/week minivan. We have a van (3 kids: 2, 4, and 5) and it can't be beat!!! I don't know what the mileage restrictions are and it is only good through October (check dates on site) but this is a great deal if it works for your time.

I got a Alamo minivan for a bit less than that. I think it was something like $192+taxes using the 20% off code. It even included a 2nd driver for free.

Alamo is now in the airport, so one less hassle of riding the bus with a 4 year old and a 8 month old.

Our reservation is for the end of September.

Yes, I used one of the ones on Mousesavers for Alamo. I think I used the Walmart code. I could have used the Disney Club one or the Annual pass one, but they were the same also.

mini-van 11/9-11/17 for 301. thats with taxes and all, extra driver included at Alamo..ent book has a 25. coupon off so it was 192. then with taxes and the extra days it came to 301..did not beat my price of 180. with National this June but it was only 7 days and this is for 9 days so I thought it was good..what do you experts think? TIA Marianne PS will still be looking as we have a lot of time yet..

Thanks, bunnymkc, I cancelled my Dollar reservation at $223/wk in favor of Alamo with the ENT coupon.

We will also be there 11/9-11/15.

What is the Alamo Code is it ENT? For the 20% off minivan.

The Entertainment program is a coupon book, not a code and it is good for $20, not 20%. You have to use the numbers off the coupon when you make the reservation and present the coupon when you pick up the car. All the Entertainment books have the Alamo coupons, no matter what city they are for. There is also a coupon for $25 off which is only good for picking up the car on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday and there is another which is good anyday for $15 off.
