June 2023 Car Rental

And also check the Thrifty site directly. I’m getting the same price using my blue chip discount as I am on Autoslash so l booked direct to avoid any possible issue.

Thanks a lot for this info. I had Autoslash check again and Thrifty came up $283 for our standard SUV. As mentioned above, my rewards # didn’t transfer, so I made a reservation at the Thrifty site while logged in to my account. What I finished with was a rate for $248 for our 10 day rental on June 1st! I think I’m done looking as I can’t conceivably see getting anything lower (Who am I kidding, I’ll keep looking until the day before we leave).

I will check right up to the day we leave too. People think I’m crazy but I love a good deal!

I just realized that when I signed up for a Thrifty rewards number, it associated a corporate # when I booked directly. That’s why my current rate was about $40 less than the Autoslash/Priceline rate. The CPD# is 3070631, in case you want to try it.

Booked 8 day manager's special through AAA with Dollar for $240 (free cancellation). I feel like I won the lottery, even though I don't love Dollar, either.

Just checked both AAA and CarRental Savers, and both could give me my now 7 day plus a couple hours rental for $207 with Thrifty. Thrifty site directly was $230.

Edited to add that when I put in promo code 101929 on Thrifty site directly it was $208, but when I went in to book that price directly on Thrifty the wild card option was gone.

For some reason mine is still cheaper using thrifty direct with the blue chip discount code. $214 for full-size for 10 days (Autoslash is $223). I could even get a compact as low as $195 but that’s just too small for my kids and I with luggage.

I was reading the Blue Chip benefits and it said first-time members can go directly to the garage and show your ID and credit card there, instead of the counter. Just wanted to let others like me, who are first-time Thrifty renters, know about this.
