Thank you to you too Webworm!

If we don't pick up at the airport when we arrive, where is the easiest location to get to (and what company) while staying at the resorts? Looking at picking up mid trip say Dec 19-26?

Where are you staying?

Alamo/National at the Car Care Center will pick you up.
Or take a bus to DHS, then walk or take the Friendship Boat to the Dolphin.

Hidingmickey - Enterprise will also pick you up. Avis has a desk @ the Hilton near DTD.

Is there somewhere on this board that tells me which location to book through? I am confused by the addresses and do not want to pick one up in the wrong location you know.

The Swan has a car rental location there? Are the sites walkable from DTD if we start there and do not get one that picks up?

Is it worth it or just suck it up and ride the busses

I went ahead and booked with Alamo - southwest ff code: 7015765 & visa coupon: AD2338FDF... rate of $371.25.

If you sign up for the Alamo Insiders which is free and allows you to checkout faster and gives you the free additional driver you will get the same total of $341. The ID for alamo insiders is 7015135 and E-Coupon AD8ZZ7SDJ for $30 off. The e-coupon is from alamo's website and not a costco one. Glad I could help.

Oh, I see the id# now!!! Thanks. We are already Alamo Insiders - Do you have to use that id# in order to receive the benefits (free driver, kiosk check-in)?
I guess, for the same price, I should change the number.

I'm sorry, I can't find the coupon. Sigh. Is it on their website somewhere?

There is a "sticky" at the top of this forum that has a list of the WDW car rental locations. The Swan is NOT one of them. Car rental is over in the Dolphin. Many of the DTD locations are walkable or they will pick you up. I would call the location you are considering to find out more.

Once you enter your insiders ID number and last name the ID for insiders code will populate when doing a search and yes you need it in reservation for benefits. The link for e-coupon is below.

Just an FYI, that coupon is for Navy Federal Credit Union members.

I'll stick with the visa coupon - AD2338FDF & Alamo insider id#7015135.
If someone didn't want to do Alamo insider (don't know why), the Southwest FF id#7015765 gives the same price.
With the low price for the mid size SUV, Alamo gives me a much better price than National.

Alamo Premium Dec. 7-23 $335

Used only insiders and visa winter coupon.

Quite a savings from the KLM/national combo we were using. We were at $520+/- for mid size/emerald isle.

Just tried Alamo and still getting 400+ for dec 8-15 for full size. Cheapest is mid size SUV for 378

This is with insiders and free day coupon

 

[Dan Murphy]

Best I can do for 8 days, 12/4-12 is KLM plus 2 class upgrade (compact to a standard (full size) for $224.

Using Travelocity public code X474200 with Budget, your price for a full size is $296.99. If you also apply coupon code MUWZ023 ($25 off), your price upon return should be $271.99.

You can get an SUV or minivan for about $5 more.

For quoting purposes, I used an assume pick up and drop off time of 12 noon.

Budget is also nice because a spouse can be added as an extra driver for free. And you can sign up for Fastbreak (also free) and skip the line at the counter.

Actually got a better rate on full size with budget using the Wendie code. Minivans are definitely cheaper with the Travelocity code. We actually have one of each reserved since we have a large group this trip.

Thx!

 

[keliblue]

just got a Budget code $129 (before tax) week nationwide for Intermediate car, for my dates Dec 8-15 came to $190.38.
BCD code D49550
