GREAT rate for Enterprise - Advice please!

[Love That Mouse]

Just booked a FANTASTIC (relatively speaking) rate from Enterprise Rental Cars at the airport. $213 for nine days, 9/19 - 9/28, Intermediate (this includes taxes and fees). Not a GREAT rate, but almost $100 less than my favorite, Alamo. And $100 is a nice meal for my wife at CA Grill. . . . .

However, I've NEVER used Enterprise before. I would love to hear from somebody who has experienced Enterprise - Good? Bad? Normal? I did sign up for the Enterprise Plus online, but I am so used to the "get-it-and-go" of Alamo! One of the reasons I LOVE Alamo. . . . Nobody trying to "upsell" me or try to scare me into buying insurance my CC already has. . . .

Thanks in advance!

Hello...I'm in the same boat...I started a thread "enterprise too cheap???", because I was worried about the rate, the type of car and the hidden fees...the thread has a couple helpful hints...

Try Avis, print the $35.00 off coupon from their site, price will be deducted at the counter when you check in from your confirmation price.

codes:

AWD K199060 (code taken from mousesavers.com)
Coupon Code MUWA003 ($35.00 Off Coupon)

I had an Avis reservation for 334 using the Avis codes listed above... the code is for a Major Orlando Tourism site, which I found out is via the Convention Center

Enterprise is back down.... Book when u can

Thank you so much for this! I was able to beat my last reservation price by $50--without a coupon!

Does anyone when/if Enterprise coupons come out? I'm travelling in September and would love to sweeten the deal....

I used the Costco site and beat my last ressie by 32.00. It's a Full Size for 312.71 for 12 days which includes all taxes/fees. The midsize was something like 272, but we have five adults for 4 of the days, thought we might be a bit squished in a midsize.

I have to admit to being a bit nervous about lines as we have always used National in the past. If the lines are terrible I wonder if it would be worth it to spend a few extra dollars to not have to wait. Anyone have any experience with this? And if it helps I'm a Enterprise Plus member.

Enterprise last night I checked was $410 for a full size for 10 days...now its $258... It was this cheap over the weekend when I booked the rate and then yesterday in the evening it went up... I don't know how reliable they are, but as someone else on the DIS told me "A Bird in The Hand is worth two... (cant remember the rest...)
