October 2013 - Car Rental

[HoneyMooner]

We have paid about $302(taxes included) for a week rental (minivan) through Budget using that Travelocity code for about 3 years now...Sadly, that is not working anymore.

Wow, that's awful it isn't working anymore!! I was hoping to do better, but is that about as good as it gets for a minivan?

Well, I got a reservation for a 7 passengers minivan (Alamo)

11 days (October 2013)

Total of USD 388 (got a total discount of 60!).

Using the United Airlines coupon code AD2492ACX.

Funny thing, with a Visa Code ID 7015504 and Coupon Code AD7394SDJ it goes up to 440! (It is supposed to have 20% discount and 15 USD off...)

I do not need to pay extra for insurance, if I pay with my Visa, I get it for free.

So far is the best deal I can get (around 35 USD per day, we will split the cost between 3 families-7 members, so I think it is a good deal). Any thoughts? Will it go down a bit?

I just tried the united airlines coupon code it was over 800 for 9 night 10day renal with Alamo!

I've tried to use this KLM code I see mentioned frequently and no matter how many different ways I try it doesn't work. I'm inputting it into the rate/product code. Any suggestions? Are there any restrictions?

We got 5 adults going in September, looking for a Minivan , dates are 9-27 to 10-5.........Never have booked a mini-van before what price should I consider good? Also should I be looking on this thread or the September thread for deals/codes? since my dates includes days in each month.

I would look in the Sept thread since deals occasionally run on a monthly basis. I think I've typically paid around $200 - $300 for 7 days for a van.

Nope, we are picking up/dropping at MCO and it was $900 with UA Alamo coupon.

 

[marymaya]

Has anyone booked through AtlasChoice? Is it located at the airport or off site?

 

[nedac]

Just an FYI... It's a bit too early to book. I booked an SUV in Tampa for 8 days for $235 last February. I found it within 2 weeks of my trip.

My dates are 10/9-10/15 and I just booked National Emerald Aisle with the KLM code 8572130 and an entertainment book coupon for $20 off for a total of $215.70. I figure that's not too bad five months out.

What other Entertainment coupons are there?

What other Entertainment coupons are there?

They have a free weekend day, a free day, $15 off, $20 off, $25 off specialty vehicle, free upgrade and a one for Hawaii deals. (These are for National but they seem to be about the same for others).

Put it in the contract ID box.

You can also try xz53043 as your contract code. Our disboards resident rental car employee for National posted it recently and said it was a legit code. It gave me a better rate for my October rental than the KLM did. Not alot, but I'm more comfortable with it. I also added the entertainment coupon too.

Thanks so much! Our trip is in Nov and this was the cheapest code, so far!

Just tried that code and it was way high for me.
