November 2014 Car Rentals

[kbwright]

Just booked a standard car from 11/7-11/15 using KLM and the BJ's 2 class upgrade code for $206 Oddly I did the same codes but used my Emerald Club number and it quoted me $211.

Can you tell me where the coupon code (NDA2324BR) came from? Will I need it when picking the car up? Thanks.

It is a BJ's coupon code. Not sure if you will need to show card when picking up.

Thanks.

I have never needed to show the coupon or my membership card but I also have used the kiosks and not the counter.

I know I'm late to the game but booked 10/30-11/11 for 246 inclusive of taxes with my dollar express card and AAA code. 200 cheaper than original and 100 cheaper than the best I had before

Finally rates are dropping. Sub-compact at Dollar originally $162+ is down to $129+ for a compact now with the 7 day rate from 11/19 with their city special this week. Come on sub $100 prices.

I dont rent a car ever so I am trying to understand the way the rental fees work. Any help would be appreciated.

We are staying Sat through the following sunday. Our incoming flight gets in before noon and our return flight is not until 430 (so back at airport by 2ish). We really want to utilize as much time as possible in the park so that has us renting a car for a week plus 2 days b/c we wouldn't have it back before noon on sunday. The prices I have been quoted the 2 extra days are almost as much as the weekly rate. Does that sound right?

Has any used magic express and then rented from one the agencies near/on disney property? That way I was think we could rent sat to sat or Sun to Sat and save on the extra day fees?

I have done this before. I have never used the Alamo/National car care center, but I have used a couple of the car rental agencies located on Hotel Plaza drive. After we dropped off the car, we just walked to to the busses located at DTD and hopped back to our hotel. Easy as can be!

We've rented from the Alamo/National desk in the Dolphin before and it was super easy. Just a quick boat ride or walk from Epcot!

 

[shannonstar]

Just book a van from Alamo at the Dolphin. Just one way on our departure from there to JAX (saved 180/person). Cost is 130 and we are a party of 8, so this will be great for us.

Also if you add NDA2324BR it should lower it even more.

How do you get the above code to work with the klm code?? When I add that code it takes off $30 and then adds $30 back... Trying to get more off

TIA

Weird. For me it actually discounts $30.00 but then adds back $15.62. Total for emerald isle is $177.43

 

[ICan'tWait]

Question regarding National. If I reserve a minivan as an Emerald Club member can I just go and pick it out and leave like with the Emerald Aisle or do I need to wait in the line inside to go through the paperwork, etc.? I've just always done Emerald Aisle in the past but may have to get a van this time.

 

[PrincessMommy09]

I saw in another thread (can't remember which one now) that someone was able to Priceline a minivan for $20 a day. Have others been able to get rates like this? We will have 6 people, so we would need a large SUV or minivan. We've never rented a car before, but I don't love how long the bus takes to make it's way around okw. For $20 a day we may try renting this time.

Southwest has 15% off at Dollar if you book during their 72 hour sale. Good for up to a full-size car.

 

[Fantazmickey]

I booked with Dollar using the AAA code (Thanks GrumpyBa*D). Nov 9 - 23 for $320 total.

I would love to know where to get the AAA code. I am a member, thanks!

 

[Fantazmickey]

I found the AAA code on carrentalsavers. Look in the Dollar coupons section of the "car rental coupons" drop down. There is a link there that shows the AAA code by state.

 

[kbwright]

$142 total for economy and $166 total for Compact 11/7 - 11/15 thru Firefly. Booked to be safe but gives me hope of things to come

 

[GWhitten98]

Still watching prices of minivans for our Nov trip. We will be there 15-23 and the best deals I can find are still over $600 for the whole trip.:< I really need to be under 500, and would love to be closer to 350. Am I dreaming?

 

[hardis5]

$335 base rate comes to $430 all in with Dollar and their city special rate (no codes needed) as of today. Most are Dodge 7 seaters but the last time I was able to pick an 8 seater Sienna (luck of the draw just depending what's there when you arrive).
