Intermediate SUV rate?

[puffkin]

What is a good rate for an Intermediate/mid-size SUV rental. We are going down Jan 11-19 and I have a reservation through Alamo for $202.75. Is that a good rate? I don't want to keep checking every day if that is about as good as I am going to get.

I have a mid-size SUV at Alamo for Feb 29th to March 7th for $174.76.
We used 7013463 and Ent Book coupon AD28.

I would check with Enterprise rental. My DS and I are renting a car for a day to go to the beach when we come down in Feb. I have always had good luck with Enterprise and they will pick us up at our resort
They have always been the cheepest when I have done a price comparision.

My experience is that unless you are booked over a very busy time (holiday weekend, Xmas, etc.), car rental rates WILL come down as you get closer to your date. On our last trip, the lowest rate we found was 48hrs before we left (then it went up again 24hrs before we left). I would keep watching. Start watching now every couple of days, and then 3-4 weeks before your trip, start checking daily.

This trip, I saw the rates drop at exactly the two week mark, then they went up again a couple of days later. We leave in 1 week, so they may drop again or may not - but then, I'm happy with our current rate ($231 including taxes for a minivan for 10 days) so not knocking myself out to find something cheaper.

Thanks...tried that combo and it was $50 higher, but it was worth a shot! I'll keep checking all the sites every couple of days I guess......
