I used MS for my car rental over Christmas and got a good rate. I have checked with them about cars for other trips, and have gotten beter rates on my own. I guess it just depends. They have been helpful though.

I have used them for airline tickets and car rentals and have always felt they've offered competitive rates. They give you the option of what companies you'd like to use. I think it's possible that you can do better on your own using the Internet but they are not outrageous and are convenient.

we decided to fly for our easter trip because dh found great airfare, so now we needed a car, i went thru ms for a mini van for the first four days $200, everyone else wanted with tax $300-$400 for the same time frame. the second part of our trip i booked thru budget a suv for $129.00 for 7 days. the only thing is we have to pick up the mini van at the airport, no biggy because we are flying in and return it to the airport and pick up the suv at the airport and drop it off when we fly out, if i would have booked a mini van for our entire trip it was $1000 without tax and fees. well worth the trip to the airport, and it works out fine for us because we will be traveling back from vero to wdw and making that extra 20 min. trip to the airport and 20 min back to wdw will work out just nice.

ms couldnt believe when she put in the discount for the entire trip and for the mini van and it was $700 and then with out the discount $1000, she kept saying this isnt right, i said yes that is what the going rate for easter a $1000 for the 11 days.

i did ask for a quote for christmas 10 days mini van she said $589, i reserved thru dollar $470, hoping for a code before then.

i doesnt hurt to check, im sure glad i did, you could always say no,

I usually use MS for car rental and airline ressies because it is so convenient. They have always been very helpful, making suggestions and trying to get the best airfare.

We went to OKW for Thanksgiving, 2000. Eight family members-2 grandparents, 2 aunts (me being one), 1 mother and 3 'kids' ages 21, 19 and 15. MS made airline ressies that had 6 people leaving one day, the other 2 leaving 3 days later, with 4 credit cards and various different requests for seating. It was all done very efficiently with no hassle on my part. (Of course that CM may never want to hear from us again!)

Off to OKW on Monday with all ressies made by MS! Ahh to be warm again!

I use them for car rental and have gotten very good rates. Haven't used them for Air yet, but I'll give them a try.

Ms assisted us with our airline tickets. After I had checked prices on several internet sites, I called MS. They were able to find me the same, lowest rate I had found. Having the person to speak with and the Disney Company behind the purchase gave me a sense of comfort. I would definitely consider using MS again!

I say for the amount of times people log on and view this fourm a day/week, if you plan you vacation's at the 11 or 7 month windows, you can and will beat MS for flights and car rentals. People log on and view this Web Site longer than it would take to get quotes direct from every local airline provider in thier area and MCO car rentals, and the earlier the better. Car rentals on site at MCO are not only competative online, but with coupons/codes, always beat MS quotes for my trips. Example - I have 2 Premium car rentals for April and July that I made last year online for $225.00 with tax - see what they want for it today! I know not all area's are the same for Florida flights, but I can say NYC and L.I.'ers should scan the airline providers in our area before saying OK to MS's quotes, we have so many fights a day to Florida they have to compete. So for my opinion, do a little shopping online first for your dates, then see what MS quotes are for thier flight and car rental - I think many of you will be suprised how easy it is to put a few hundred back in your pockets for such a small amount of your time.

Give it a try and good luck!

I have always asked for a quote and always found a better rate online. For this next trip, I am renting with National thru the Vacation Outlet coupon code

http://www.nationalcar.com/servlet/DocHandler/directlinks/index_vacation_outlet.jsp

I reserved this last August and check every few weeks for better deals (Disney VISA, DVC, AARP, AAA etc) and the rate I got is consistently $40 less than other rates for a Buick LeSabre size car.
