Car Rental rates drop in January 2023

[MainStreetMouse]

We are heading to Aulani in January.

When I made the DVC reservation about 6 months ago I started looking at renting a car. The best deal at the time was thru Costco at about $1300 for a12 day rental. Over the last month, prices started to drop. Today the same rental was $754. Much better!!

Looking forward to our first visit to Aulani and the $546 decrease in the car rental with free resort parking is a big bonus.

Keep checking those rental rates for possible savings.

Hmm Im going to take a look at this. We are set to go in the Spring but I was thinking of
changing to Feb until I saw rental car prices. Thanks.

On most vacations, the rental car rates drop within two months of the trip.

We're just under two months now and it hasn't budged in months but I still check every day.

I think that checking daily is the key. I just checked and the price went up $50 today so maybe I found the lowest rates I am going to get but I will keep on checking daily.

Keep checking, mine dropped $200 over the last two days. If you have AAA make sure you check the rates there.

Also check AutoSlash! I kept checking Costco, AutoSlash, Priceline, and direct with rental companies. I ended up getting the cheapest through AutoSlash within a week of my trip (it was fulfilled through Priceline, but via AutoSlash... I didn't see the same deal if I went direct through Priceline). It was Hertz for $250 for a week (compact car) with free cancellation. This was for a couple weeks ago.

Our mini van price dropped about $100, now down to $545 for a week in late Jan/early Feb. Not great but a whole lot better than when I started booking a few months ago. It started at $750 or so, so at least prices are going down. Can't say that for many things these days.
