Dollar

[cervonime]

DH and I will be at WDW 9/25-10/02. I have a car reserved with Dollar (full size) at a rate of $149.21. I am wondering if anyone has experience with Dollar? How long do you have to wait in line? They have a Fast Lane program, but I would rather not register with them unless it is necessary. Does anybody have exeprience with National "Quick Rent". I am wondering if this is the way to go, except the "Quick Rent" will cost me about $60 more.

How did you get that great rate?

I made the reservation directly on-line thru Dollar and used a discount code......I think it was MAG for 10% off. Now I am wondering if I got such a great rate because I will spend a whole day standing in the airport trying to get a car.

Thanks for the info.
I just saved $30.00 from what I was going to reserve at Alamo.
I love the Disboard!!!
Thanks for the promo code.

I like using Dollar, they were easy to deal with, and not pushy. I signed up for Fast Lane (it was free) and I got waited on right away when I got to the counter. Returning the car was very easy as well.

I just signed up for the Fast Lane Program. Hope I don't spend a couple of hours waiting. Dollar sure does have great rates!!

I just got some awesome rates through Dollar through SideStep! We are going for 7 days in November and we rented a Full Size car for $170 total including the taxes and fees!

Try SideStep, they had better rate codes.

I just wanted to let you know, in my opinion, you made a good decision. Since you will be arriving on the weekend, you would probably spend a lot of time waiting for a car. The last time I used Dollar before signing up for Fast Lane, we waited almost 90 minutes on a Friday night. After that, Fast Lane was a no brainer! As a Fast Lane customer, you will be waited on by the next available person. Also great was the car was in the first lane over in the parking garage just waiting for me. Plus, it was a brand new car! Only had a few miles on it. Have a great trip!

What is SideStep?

I think she was referring to:

I just checked them and they matched Thrifty's web rate.

Still waiting for a good rate from National!

Fastlane is not necessary but I highly recommend it. It makes checkout much faster. The ability to skip everyone in line is worth it alone. When I signed up for Fastlane, my enrollment kit came with a free one class car upgrade coupon. Not sure if they are still doing that though.

Thank you for posting this info!!

I just reserved from Dollar a Full Size total w/est charges $156.71 (using code MAG)

Last week I reserved from Alamo a Midsize total w/est charges $214.70 (using Entertainment Book coupon)

I did not sign up for the Fastlane Membership....its really worth it??

Fastlane is absolutely worth it!!! We use Dollar all the time and love them!!
