Change EA ressie - I know been asked B4

[TZMOM]

I'm so sorry - I know this has been asked before, but I just can't find it.

My ressie for August is now $10 cheaper - can anyone tell me whether I need to cancel my reservation and make a new one - or can I modify the existing one somehow?

Thank you again for your help

I always make a new ressie, then cancel my old one. It just seems much neater and less likely to have problems.

I always make a new one too and cancel the old. I've sometimes cancelled 3 or 4 while the prices went down.

I do the same. Check the rates and if it's lower, book the new rate and cancel the old one. Before our trip in January, I booked and cancelled at least 8 times before we left. We're leaving for California the end of March and I've already booked and cancelled 3 times and will probably do the same thing a few more times. I find that this is a lot easier than trying to modify and existing one.

I'm ahead of you. I think I've cancelled and rebooked 5 or 6. My DH is afraid we will have a fleet of cars waiting for us.

The prices are incredible. I can't believe I'm getting 8 days, for $127. We have never rented a car, and have always used a towncar service. I've always looked into renting, but have never found a good rate for our stay.

Are these prices normal for National, or are they just lower right now?

THank goodness for these boards.

This is the lowest National has gone in a while. Typically if you check rates on Orbitz, National has been towards the more expensive end. Lately, they have been on the cheaper end.

I wonder if some of it is in response to Disney's Magical Express? A lot of the car rental companies are low right now trying to entice people to rent a car. For people like me, it is great because we will always rent a car for the ease of transportation and the possibility of going off site.

I've paid between $110 and $120 for National on most of my recent trips going back 3 or 4 years. We go early May and early December. That's EA, intermediate, priceless code, $20 entertainment coupon.

Same as the other posters. I cancel my old ressies and make new ones. I too have to admit these are some of the lowest I've EVER seen. Today my May rates dropped again. I'm paying $268 for 16 days (ExA), with a base weekly rate of $110. BUT I have that beat. I changed my September one and am now paying $132 for NINE days with a weekly rate of $101....Then after being impressed my October one dropped even more. I'm paying $181 for TWELVE days with a weekly base rate of......$96. I think it's all related to ME (not me, but Magical Express). Using priceless code and entertainment coupon. I checked tonight and the fall rates have going up slightly from what I got today during the day....wow.

Thanks for the tips everyone!! I made a new ressie and cancelled the old one - our total price is now $143.90 for 8/28/05 to 9/3/05. Price dropped about $10 so far . . . . . dare I hope for a bit more????
