I've never rented a car in my life...and was shocked at how expensive the first few quotes I got were!
We need a Mini-Van b/c we have seven people. I tried all the car rental codes/coupon in my Costco travel book and they seemed to do nothing to the price (most didn't apply to anything over mid-size) or my number of days was not quite right. Using the companies that have desks right in the airport, I was getting base quotes at over $400 for 5 full days of rental.
Finally I used a code from Mousesavers and got a National Care Rental Mini-van for 5 days at $235 (plus of course those hideous taxes and fees!)
Is this decent or should I invest more time???
Also, I signed up for the the "Quick" service where you supposedly just walk out to the garage, pick a mini-van and drive to the exit. Is this for real and does it work that smoothly??? We will be arriving at almost 10pm so I want to get going to the hotel as fast as possible!
Thanks
