[ashleyrm]

Just checked carrentalsavers.com and found a full size with Budget for $186.11 for my dates (2/7 - 2/13). Standard is $156.56.

Going to check individual sites now.

For my dates:
Alamo (full size) $159.66 through carrentalsavers

Not sure how a Ford Fusion is considered full size...lol..

Not sure anyone has posted this code yet. For Budget try BCD U072700 and coupon MUWZ023. It's from Southwest Airlines. Be sure to sign up for Fastbreak, you can bypass the counter in the airport and just head right out to the booth in the garage.

^ This. Great rate (I think) for our trip next week $182.70 for 8 days - mid size. Down $60 from what I had with Alamo. How does the extra driver (spouse) work with Budget and the express check out (avoiding counter). Do you have can I add the driver at the kiosk or don't you have to as long as they are adequately licensed? Never rented from Budget before.

Skip the line in the airport. Walk out to the booth in the garage. The attendant there will give you your paperwork and key and direct you to your vehicle. Spouse/same address is a free additional driver, I don't believe they even added it to the account, but you could just verify when getting your keys. Keep checking your rate, hopefully it will come down even more for you.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say that they wanted to know the AAA code you referenced for Dollar.

Yes, that would be helpful. I know what AAA is, I wasn't sure if this was something else since the post wasn't that coherent to me.

I'm using the Costco BCD and Costco $40 coupon - these are the same codes that are applied if you are looking at Budget on the Costco travel website.

This combo is a great alternative for those who are not Costco members. For me, this is coming out more expensive than the Costco combo, but only by about $30 for 9 days. Thanks for sharing!

We're renting a minivan from Dollar for $670 Feb 19 - March 3. I was really hoping to find a lower rate at the last minute, but I have not had any luck. I've tried Costco, carrentalsavers, Priceline, budget with the southwest codes, Alamo with the costco ones

 

[jmasgat]

Did you try their code 5c13m? It's not much, but might save a few dollars--depends on your arrival/departure time.

The week of Feb 22-Mar 1 is super expensive and you are overlapping with the President's Day week as well. It sounds high but not many of us are seeing anything much better for just 7 days.
