March 2013 Car rentals

[robinb]

Thanks. Can you tell me how much the coupon is for and do I need a physical coupon ??

Nope, that one is an electronic coupon.

I asked this on the January rental thread as well but haven't received an answer. Isn't coupon code MUWZ003 only for AARP members?

 

[gottalovethat]

oops sorry, wrong coupon code! MUWZ003 is NOT only for AARP members!

Rates are really crazy now. Just re-checked at National for March 1 - 7, using the KLM code. Booked a week ago for $177...today $795! It's $550 with my Emerald Club code. Out of control!

My rate for the end of March has quadrupled since I made it on Dec 5th. It's from an off-airport location and now I am nervous that I won't get there before it closes. I will be SOL.

Just relax folks. We're still at least a couple of weeks away from seeing good rates for even the first part of March. Doesn't hurt to make a non binding reservation, but, if you're getting a common car class, you will see much better rates.

It's a catch-22, if too many people book non-binding reservations early, the car rental agencies see high demand & low supply so they keep rates high, but yes, generally speaking it's always best to have the best available rate booked & cancel it as soon as you find something better.

I'm needing at least a mid size for feb 26-mar 6....any ideas? Not having much luck finding anything less than $275!

Is that with or without taxes? Payless has an intermediate for $237 with taxes.

Due to an Airtran flight time change, we are leaving a day earlier. I changed my budget reservation by 18 hours for a $50 increase. Sure hope I can find something better in the next 60 days.

Me too! I keep watching for something better too.

What are the national codes?

Just booked a mini-van with Budget from March 17-24 using BCN #
X474200 and $25 off coupon from the Entertainment book for $277 total with taxes!

That's great. Ours is 400 taxes in with same codes.

What are your dates? Prices change with dates and availability, just like airfares.

Thought it would be cheaper as it is before spring breaks

It's the same base rate of $225 per week but you are staying 3 extra days @ $45 each.

Whoops! I entered the wrong start date. The coupon "MUWZ003" is an e-coupon. You don't need to show anything.

 

[princessap]

Thank you so much!!! Still hoping to find cheaper but it is pretty good for now!
If it wasn't for the disboards it would be 800!!!!

Booked with National for a midsize SUV from March 6-17 for a total of $350.62 I used the KLM code and coupon code NDA2354BU which is a entertainment code for 2013.

Will I have to show the coupon to use this? If so is the only way to get the coupon is by paying for the entertainment book? Thanks

What is the klm code??
