You know, less than a week ago, I was getting some fairly good rates and did lock in for 8 days, mid-size, pick-up at CCC w/ return to the airport for $205. I used a
AAA contract ID as well as a $35 coupon.
This week, however, when checking the rates it looks like they have all gone up by $150. I don't know what is happening but think as September draws closer, things will go down.
I am seeing a lot of folks who need a car in June getting great rates ... which have gone down at the same time the Sept ones went up!!
I'd say go out and book something right now and then just periodically revisit to try to jump on lower rates when they are released.
