I rented from Dollar about a year ago--my only complaint was that returning the car at about 7:00am on Sunday morning, there was noone with a scanner to check you in. You had to go into the office and wait in line. There was one could trying to rent a car with some sort of difficulty--either no credit card or DL issues,not sure, and two guys trying to return a car and pay cash--but they had damaged it.

Anyhow after waiting in line that didn't budge for almost half an hour, I dropped the form and keys in the box and walked away without the receipt--figured I'd rather argue it out with them later than miss my flight.

I'm looking to rent a car out of tampa in July, I cant find one single deal out there.

I checked this morning, and it was 371.00 for seven days. Yikes. Looking for a fullsize by the way.

I assume it has something to do with supply/demand. We are also looking to rent a car for two weeks from TPA and the prices just aren't near as good as MCO. We may consider flying into MCO due to the less expensive rental rates.
Anybody have any good codes/ideas on inexpensive rentals in TPA. Someone wrote on an earlier thread to look at off-site rentals in TPA, that they saved considerable $$ this way. Maybe you could consider that. I did, but the savings were minimal for my dates (Dec 17-31).

Just as an FYI for both rentals I used the walmart codes for the best prices found on mousesavers.com
