We are also looking for a minivan for our October trip. Do you know if those rates you quoted included all the taxes & fees?(these add up to quite a bit in Florida)
We are EA members - got the free membership a few years ago also. Normally with EA you just go to the garage, and pick a car from the EA aisle (which is clearly marked). There are usually only cars, but selection varies depending on the time of day you get there. On our last trip there were NO vehicles of any type in the EA aisle, so the attendant told us to take an SUV from another aisle. A few minutes later someone returned a car and another family was also waiting, so we gave them the SUV - we didn't need the room as much as they did - just DH and me, so we took the car.
I noticed that if you are booking a minivan, you will actually be doing Emerald Reserve. You still would be an EA member, but this will guarantee that you get a minivan. It is explained on the National website.
Also, someone asked about the receipt...when you return the car (and you make sure you gas up on the way back to the airport
) you just pull into the garage and someone will come to the vehicle, check the mileage and gas tank, and give you a receipt right there and you're set to go. Very easy.
