December 2018 car rental thread

I'm looking for rates, too! I will be there 12/20-1/1. I have a Standard Car booked for $448. I'd love to pay less, but everything is much higher!

My travel dates are close to yours. Which car rental place are you using for this rate?

I am hoping Dollar will have a Thanksgiving weekend sale like they did 2 years ago. Last year they didn't offer anything during that time, but I will be checking Thanksgiving weekend!
It will also be a few weeks before my travel dates, would love to see my rate lowered.

I'm sure that every one of us would also love to see our rate lowered!

WooHoo! Just got another $40 off a full size rental 12/8 to 12/16. Now $400! Down from initial booking of almost $700!

Is there a code? My rates weren't that good when I put my dates in...

There is a tab at the top to look for specials, click on it and look for the Dollar National Day sale

I found the Dollar special, but it looks like it isn't valid for my dates 12/22 - 1/1, as the lowest rate came up around $560, way higher than what I'd booked with Costco code.

Today's Dollar special is valid now until 1-31-19.

This morning when I checked nothing beat my $202 rate....then I checked again this afternoon and I booked this

December 10-17
Managers special (they pick the ride)

The rates for Dollar and Alamo for mid December dropped a bit. I rebooked through Alamo for a $20 difference for the Drive Happy $230 10 days.

Usually when I am doing a reservation price search on Dollar there is no difference in the AAA discount or Union Plus discount.
Over the weekend I again rebooked with the Union Plus discount (we are teamsters) and saved another $3!

My rate dropped significantly today: I have booked with Alamo and other agencies in the past with no problem with any of them, but
on a regular bases Dollar seems to go the lowest for me.

McMonsters:

On the Dollar home page you can either fill in the fields on the left or click "see specials" further right.
This brought me to a "managers special" page and then I filled in my information with my AAA code: 3000049 in the corporate,
not the promo box.

Hope that helped.
