Didn't find anything great. Minivans are in the 400-500 range for 9 days, even with KLM code and xvc1092 code w national.

Dollar had good rates with their city special.

 

[CarolAnnB]

Can I ask where you see the city specials on Dollar? I looked under Location Discount and don't even see Orlando. (never mind I found the pop up button)

I have a full size with the National KLM for July 5-13 for $266 total right now. Not great but I had to start somewhere. The midsize SUV is $283.

Well count me in for July 16th - 26th. I am with you looking for the deals!!!

 

[TikiGoddess07]

We are looking for 11 days (renting from Tampa) in July. I know last year I had the best luck about a month out from our dates.

Looking for a mini SUV this time around.

I got a full size from Dollar (July 24-Aug 2) for $250 total. Right now, that is the best I have come up with so far.

Thanks for starting this thread. Keep posting on finds

I got a compact at thrifty July 16-28 $170 including taxes. Found it on car rental savers website then went directly to thrifty to book. Couple hrs later price was back up to $375. Booked about 1 month ago. It was city special.

 

[IndycoltsRy]

I'm looking for a car rent for July best deal I found was a city special though dollar and E-Z car rentals. We are flying into MCO has anyone heard any reviews on these companies?

 

[jerseygirl82]

I'm in for a July rental!

I am just starting my hunt, but so far the cheapest I have found for a Standard size rental for 10 days is $328 through E-Z Rent A Car. I'm hoping to find something cheaper as we get closer!

 

[NurseKim]

I've never rented from EZ before. Hopefully someone can help with a review.

I have a standard size through Dollar 7/1-7/8 (8 full days) base rate $184...total with tax and fees $257.00. rate code says: RWUW8

 

[TamaraQT]

I haven't found anything yet. I am looking for a full size or possibly a minivan. I always book with Alamo for the free extra driver. I believe Hertz and Budget allows a spouse for free, but I have never used them, because Alamo has always come out cheaper. Thrifty and Dollar charge per day for the additional driver. I have found good deals at Dollar and Thrifty, but once you add in the $10/day for the extra driver, it adds $100 + tax to the bill which doesn't make the price a good deal anymore.

I can't get that code to work. Great deal though!

 

[IndycoltsRy]

I checked mousesaver. com they list all discount codes and said with national you can use up to 2 codes. They didn't have any deals for july yet guessing they should have deals for july in a couple of months

 

[NurseKim]

Do you guys think it would be helpful to list available and found codes in the first post?

I don't mind managing and editing it as needed.

 

[IndycoltsRy]

I think that would be helpful I will keep a look out for codes best sight I found for codes was mouse saver.

Has anyone tried to apply the KLM code to a National Car rental? It isn't working for me- not dropping the price at all

Are you renting out of mco? If so, have you gone through the process where it shows the total you will be charged. That where I see the difference with klm. But if you aren't renting from mco, I haven't gotten a good fare with that code away from mco.

I also didn't get a very good rate for our July trip with the KLM code. Right now, my placeholder reservation is with Budget, using their Southwest code U072700. It was a decent rate and best I could find so far. Of course, I hope I can get a better deal as we get closer.
