Need MiniVan Help!

[Figment&Piglet]

Glad that rate works out for you. I'm sure the difference between your quote and mine stems not only from your 2 additional days, but from the fact that your mid- to late June dates are, I'm sure, much more popular vacation dates in Orlando than are my early May dates. In any event, even if you reserve Budget through Southwest, keep checking -- I once had a minivan reserved for what was an OK price, and the rate dropped about $80 the week before I was supposed to go! This was a couple of years ago, but still, it pays (literally!) to keep checking even after you book something! And the small print on the reservation I made says that you have up to 24 hours before to cancel and not pay anything...

OMG, thank you guys so much! I was trying for June 11-17th and getting over $400 from National (which we like to use), but I just booked with Budget through southwest for $218 TOTAL!

I keep plugging away with the southwest site... I don't seem to have the magic touch I guess! I keep plugging in the numbers and codes and now the cheapest is coming out to $410!

Just tried your dates/times again for you, and yes, now Budget is coming up unavailable, when it was available earlier today. Maybe too many people read this thread, and now they're out of minivans for that week?

Keep trying, I guess...you never know if something will open up.

Edited: Just went back in and re-plugged in my own dates and they're saying unavailable in the Budget row now, too!

I apreciate all your help! Sometimes I feel like this whole process is like using a slot machine in Vegas. It's the luck of the draw... I'll keep trying...

You're not going to believe it, but I just checked the dates again on Southwest.com, and Budget's $308 total is back for a minivan for your dates (and mine re-opened, too). If you're online, grab it! Good luck!

I just got the $220.85 rate for a mini 4/13-20, previously I was not able to get anything under $300. This saves me $90. From the rate of $311. @ Dollar using the Kiss code.

Whoopee!

Hang in there!

***Just sign up for the "Fast Break" and called the 800# to add my fast break number to the res and it was discounted another $10.00. So now I have an extra 100 bucks for fun.****
