Rates are high and we probably won't see any drops until we get alot closer. I would guess they won't drop until after Easter. My January trip, my rates didn't drop until ONE WEEK out. My last year's May rates were very good, so hoping again for some decent ones. My rental is THREE weeks, so you can see I'm watching closely. Budget right now is still the best deal in town. I booked a backup with them for the first week of our trip when we need transportation to and from the cruise for a family of 6. I got a Ford Explorer using the Wendie code (D454300) and the $30 coupon (MUGZ029) which comes off at the end when you return and is not reflected on your confirmation. With coupon, the total is around $200. I have to have a 7 seater for the first week, but I don't after that, so may be mixing and matching as the family leaves and we stay.
