Looks like the price of rental cars are coming down

[Nickylv]

We are flying into Orlando International Airport mid June for our Disney trip. I booked a rental car through Costco about a month ago for $380. I looked again about 2 weeks ago and got it for $360. Today I looked again and now it’s down to $302. I will keep looking until I leave since it looks like the prices are coming down. Maybe due to gas prices.

I would normally have a car service pick us up at the airport which is much cheaper than renting a car that will sit in the parking lot the whole time. But the first half of the trip we are staying at Disneys Vero Beach so we needed a car.

Just a guess - since gas is so high, maybe they are trying to entice people to rent rather than use rideshare?

Hopefully they keep reducing the prices.

My wife looked on Southwest Air site and saved even more money reserving a car, and when she uses her Southwest Air credit card (not an advertisement) she gets 4 times points. This was cheaper than costco. (Which costco usually has the best prices) We are leaving the end of next week and I will keep searching all sites to get the best price. If you have a rental car booked for a future trip it is worth checking every site every few days, we just saved over $100 from our original booked price on our car rental. Thats like a free dinner so far….

Went back to the Costco site and saved even more $$$. So far $140 lower. Leaving in 3 days I will check the day before we leave. Quite satisfied with that savings.
