Has anyone rented a car for Dec yet?

[KJMAX1]

The rates seem really high still and was wondering if anyone has gotten a deal yet, or went ahead and booked anyway? I need something for 8 people. So either a large van, or two minivans or two compact cars. Ive never seen prices this high before, but we did discover we are going during Pop Warner and are wondering if this might be the reason?

I booked back in Feb for Dec. Rates have gone up, but there are some begining cracks in the price ceiling. Budget has a deal on Midsize Suvs IIRC $149/week? Anyway, I suspect there will soon be a December rate thread starting...good luck!

We booked ours about 3 months ago for the first week in December, but we're using our Hertz points for our rental, so the price is pretty much irrelavant.

I just for 12/1-12/17 for $121 which really means $178 from Dollar. Thrifty has the same deal.

Thanks for the heads up... I saved close to $100 on my Nov/Dec rental for lax w/ no code needed (there was a city special rate).

How did you get this? The cheapest I can find right now is Alamo at $291 (total after everything) for 12/3 -12/13. I booked it but will keep looking. I do like Alamo because they have that little machine you can check in with. Does any other company offer that? I hate waiting in lines.

how do you find is the best way to check rates? do you go on each site individually or something like expedia?

Anyone gotten a great deal lately?

I just got a great deal form hotwire for 12/14-12/27 (an expensive time of year). I had booked a midsize car at Enterprise for a total of $354. It was the best price I could find by far. And I needed somewhere I could rent with a debit card. But I just booked hotwire for a Fullsize car for $317 from Hertz. It is non-refundable but so are my flights so no biggie. When I checked the Hertz site it listed the quote as over $800 (same dates and car type).
