December Car Renters...anyone seeing price drops?

[zulaya]

I'm Dec 9-16 and have a minivan at Alamo for $256 including taxes. I can live with that, but wondering if anyone has found a combination of codes and coupons at Alamo/National getting a better rate?

I just used the amex code 5125601 with the $20 off weekly rates and went from $312 to $211 with National and also a emerald club member which seems to help with the rates

We have Alamo for 12/1-12/6 at 196 for a full size - I checked yesterday and the price has gone up by almost $75 - I'm glad I made that ressie long ago!

Try using kiss2 for Dollar rent a car.

I won't rent from Dollar. I need to be get a long wheel base minivan because we have 6 people plus an ECV.

No movement at all on National. A little surprising as usually they go up if near capacity or down if not. I suspect Magic Express has changed the way they do business.

No change at all on ours with National. Used American Express code and a coupon from National's website for $20 off. We are paying $183.31 for an intermediate December 16 - 23 (we are Emerald Club members). I am happy with that price but I had hoped it would go down a bit.

Dec 1-6, National, using AMEX code and $20 coupon, total of $125 for Emerald Isle.

Used AMEX and free day award at National. Without those I thought the price for 3 days was outrageous.

Dec 1-6, National, using AMEX code and $20 coupon, total of $125 for Emerald Isle.

This is what I have (different dates) 6 days at $125.

Thanks for the update - I'll have to check mine!

I checked Alamo and National this morning and base rates are still higher than what I have now. Even with coupons and codes they are way over $300 for my dates. Yuck.
