Cheap minivan rental in Tampa?

[Heimlich]

I'm hoping for help from some kind soul out there. I got a fantastic deal on a flight to Tampa rather than Orlando but am now having trouble finding a reasonable car rental deal.

The dates are April 6th through April 21st and we need a minivan out of the Tampa airport. I'd really like to use one of the big companies (National, Dollar, Alamo, etc.) since we have a very early flight home and some of the smaller off site companies don't have 24 hour shuttles. I belong to all of the frequent rental programs (Quicksilver, Fastlane, Emerald Club) and have tried a variety of discount codes but none of them seem to work in this case and I can't come up with anything better than about $350 per week.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

I used Dollar out of Tampa airport and got a $199/week minvan last April. Try codes FVG or kiss and see if that works at the dollar website.

Thanks Patrick's dad. I usually use Dollar and tried those codes but had no luck. I usually have no problem with those either in April but for some reason no codes are working for these dates. I also tried tag, globe, wbmv, gator, mag, fltvl, usa4, dbl3, mini1 and wrate all without success.

I'm cheap and hate to pay more for the car rental than the flight for all 4 of us.

Have you tried Cheap Tickets.com?

I have had really good luck with them. I checked just to see what I could come up with and this is not cheap but a little less than you were finding. Hertz $254/week & Avis $263/wk. Unfortunately these are the only 2 companies they are partnered with and they are not ones you mentioned.

I hope you find something at a great rate soon! Good luck.

Belle, Thank you so much!
That's much better than what I had so I'll take it!
