Lousy National Rates

[keishashadow]

For 8 days end of June, I snagged a mid-size SUV thru Alamo w/entertain. id, code & coupon for $122 - including tax. No such luck for Oct. yet though.

Personally, I HATE the MCO Alamo counter, last time in line took an hour grrr.
Have signed up for QS & plan on using kiosk in garage.

Can't beat National's EA but, it's not worth an extra $200 to use it.

I've never gotten an intermediate sized car for $100 for 7 days. I'd like to know your secret.

Can anyone sign up for Alamo QS? Or do you have to do a somewhat shady thing and "incorporate yourself"?

What codes did you use to get this rate???????

Last time I looked Mousesavers still had the link posted on the Alamo page for the "free" QS registration.

Had a decent rate for a minivan with National over this past Presidents' Day weekend (rent at MCO, return to Dolphin): 5 days for $305 reserved waaay back in September. I never saw any better rate so I stuck with this one.

Just reserved for February 2007 (just under a year off) for the same thing, but this time picking up at the Dolphin and dropping at PBI in West Palm (gotta get a Vero visit in); the price was somewhat more, but heck, I've got a year to check for better. But I will stick with National bcs it's so time-efficient; OK maybe if it's $100 less I might think about Alamo, but only if I can pick up at the Car Care Centre or at the Dolphin.

Just used the id/coupon that came in the entertainment book, the code popped up automatically.

Of course I've been toying w/this res. since Dec...probably modified it at least 10 times w/different discount/codes.

Overall, we usually have the best luck for Nat. & Alamo using enter. book (even beat WDW AP discounts).

What codes did you use to get this rate???????

Just to clarify, did you use the Entertainment book plus a code and coupon?
Thanks!

I used the entertainment book's ID/code for Alamo that was listed on the coupon. Just checked current rate using codes & it's $177.

Exactly what I meant. The Mousesavers site says: QS is intended for business and corporate customers. You can easily register as a "small business," which allows you to get QS membership. To register, just go to <link> and sign up. I'm not a small business, so I have to fib to get this, eh? If Mousesavers (or anyone) had a blurb that said "As a perk of membership here, you get free QS enrollment", I'd be on it.

Aside: I tried to put the full name of the QS service in, and it got censored! Why can't you say ***********????

Thanks, going to go find my entertainment book right now!!

Wasn't aware...I "am" a small business. I don't use the corp. ID they provide (haven't got a good rate yet) but, have completed a master rental agreement that covers cc guarantee in exchange for expedited check-in. Also, basically same set up for EA (can get airmiles & free rentals)

I Did add my DH as an authorized user...guess I'm doomed for rental car hell.

It is also the name of a limo company that has been banned from the Disboards. I see where that could be a problem for Alamo,though!!

I have a rental for the beginning of July for a Mid-SUV and the best I can get is $258 for 9 days using the walmart code 428448, rate BY I can't find any coupons that are good for July can you give us the codes your using?
Thanks!!

Dont know what im doing wrong, but im not coming up with discounts as much as alot of people are for 9 days beginning next week. Tried the Walmart codes, the Alamo coupons, etc etc and Im still hovering around $280-$300 for a 9 day rental! Of course my entertainment book was last years and I threw it out, should have got the new one! oh well!!! I guess saving on my flight with ff miles will have to be my savings for this trip, but I will keep trying!
