Car Rental for Christmas

[jel0511]

Hi -

I've been searching for a rental car at a reasonable rate for the week of 12/25. I've seen so many high rates that I finally found one that was somewhat reasonable. Using a code I found on mousesavers.com, I was able to get a full-size through AVis for $190 including all taxes. Not a great rate, but $60 cheaper than my EA reservation with BOTH my DC discount and the DC coupon. Has anyone been able in the last couple of weeks gotten a better rate with EA? I really like EA and the convience, since I'm traveling with two small children. Not a big deal though, if I have to run down to the counter while DH gets the bags!!! Please let me know what you're rate is, and if I can find a better one out there. We do want a car rental company on the airport, so all off-site locations are out.

Thanks!!!

We just used L&M car rental ( in the terminal, next to Dollar) We had a rate of $220/week for minivan. I found their number on Mousesavers. I was very skeptical about using this company because I have never heard of them. But...everything went great. I would try them.
