Need good rate on Minivan for Oct

[SalandJeff]

Last year we rented a minivan for a week (Sun - Sat) for $124. That was in May.

This year we are going October 28. I need to get a minivan again and want a good rate (although I don't know if I'll ever see $124 again!). When do you think low rates will be out? Does anyone know of anything now? Want to rent at the airport and bypass the rental counters.

Thanks!

It sure would be nice if we could get that rate, but I don't think it's going to happen. The best rate that I have gotten so far for 10/18-25 is $247 for a Chrysler Pacifica through Dollar. The minivan's for the week are going for $264 right now. I haven't been able to find anything less.

For some reason all of the discount codes have stopped. I wish I knew when the new ones were going to come out!

I just got a deal in late Sept (21st to 29th) for $199/wk + 39.99 for my extra day on a minivan. Unfortunately, with all the taxes, recovery fee, etc. it takes the price to $300.

I went ahead and booked it, as I'm afraid that rates will just keep going up. Like you, I'm hoping for a much better deal. In the past (we typically go at this same time each year), I've gotten a mid-sized car or SUV for right around $100/week, including all the taxes and extra fees.
