It seems like a good rate to me, but when are you traveling? Did you use any coupon codes or contract IDs?

I've used Dollar in the past and am pretty pleased with their services. I suggest signing up for their Express plan. They are pretty slow from what I remember. I think the plan is free and will shave some time off your wait. My last trip they really tried to push the rental insurance on me...but I was a woman traveling alone with an 18 mo old so I think that may have been the case with that.

I hope this helps. You can check mousesavers for any codes/rates for your rental and see if you can drop the price at all...GOOD LUCK!

Sounds good to me! I wish I could rent a car for only $108 per week at the end of December .

ETA: Dollar is OK. I usually rent from National or Thrifty because of the pricing.

Sorry, I did use a mousesavers code to get this rate and I also used a contract ID. We are going 12/1-12/9. I did sign up for the express plan, too.

I think I tried a lot of codes/coupons etc. and this is the best I could come up w/ so far.

Should I still be looking, or is this as good as I am going to get?

You are renting for 9 days, so I changed the return date to the 10th ...
ETA: Join Thrify's club and you don't have to wait long for your car. The bus to the lot is only about 10-15 minutes tops.

From Thrifty, using the "SAMS" code:
