you must have been on the cusp of a rollover of rates.....

they are now wanting 357.00 base rate for a week on emerald aisle in september, october for our dates total with all taxes in was 451.53


is that 131 your base rate with coupon off , or your total rate with all taxes in....

 

[n2mm]

I booked mine for Sep 29 to Oct 5 and it dropped to $199 after taxes/fees. It was $250. Used the $25 coupon online and 5007160. However my Oct. 31 to Nov. 12 is very high, but I got it months ago when it was low, for paying $334 for a two week rental, with only the code and no coupons (hoping to add a coupon when I see one.)

 

[robinb]

My August dates are still though the roof. I am sitting on a VERY good rate now ($300 inclusive for 2 weeks) but I really don't need the car for that long and was hoping to get something for just a week. Right now a week is more expensive than both my weeks together!

Total rate with all taxes and fees plus using the coupon.

 

[n2mm]

I checked this morning and the rates are back up again. Glad I rebooked yesterday and saved a few dollars more.

 

[lawgs]

Total rate with all taxes and fees plus using the coupon.

Then, you have gotten an outstanding rate

your base rate must have been something like 85$ (after coupon) with 46$ in fees and taxes ???

good thing you are not doing one more night.....the total would be 439.58 this is a seven day rental 12 noon to 12 noon sept 29 to oct 6

if i change the time to 10:30 am return the cost goes to 296.21

the website seems to have "quirks" if you book "exactly" a 7 day period that is the same pickup and return times....very strange

they seem to be socking it to weekly renters

I've got some really great deals from National over the years, last visit was $85 for a 7 day rental but if yours is real, and I tend to doubt it, then congratulations and do share your secret.

 

[robinb]

Yup...my buddy Gail Hayden taught me all the National tricks I need.

I learned a lot of tricks from her too. I really miss her.

 

[MyMuse]

I checked my Alamo rates (same co as National, right?)

I still remain steady at $214. I'm hoping it'll go down a bit as time goes on. I'm usign the Costco codes.

 

[The Mayor]

I learned a lot of tricks from her too. I really miss her.

Gail was one of the first people I met on the Dis back in 2001...a wealth of information on both Southwest and National...plus she's so nice and would help everyone out...I have a feeling she may be stopping back here at some point soon...hopefully.

Including a tank of gas, too? What codes gives you this great deal?

 

[MickeyCrazed]

Including a tank of gas, too? What codes gives you this great deal?

Considering the Contract ID was deleted on purpose, and that the following are included in the quote:

Loss Damage Waiver Full Included
Supplemental Liability Insurance Included

I have sincere doubts that this rate is on the up-and-up.
