October 2015 Car Rental Watch

[hollypoast]

Costco just dropped again (3 times in 24 hours!) I'm down to $238 for 12 days in an economy.

Hopefully it keeps going. Its our turn.

Is everyone renting at MCO? I'm renting at TPA, Alamo through Costco Travel, and my rate hasn't dropped so much as a penny in weeks.

The fleet of cars isn't as big at TPA, as it is at MCO, so you typically won't see as many price drops as when renting at MCO.
We have always managed to get a decent price from TPA (keep checking frequently), but have had some ridiculously cheap prices at MCO on certain occasions.

Try using the link on the tab that says "specials" from that link it went through last night for my son.

I couldn't get it to go through and it said from Sept 8 to October 31, so I called customer service and they applied it. I was super happy. I had her email me the confirmation. It is $50 more then the Full size, but still better then the minivan price. Agree, the extra room is so nice. Now to figure out how to get to the airport from home in a VW Passat, four of us.

I tried again last night, and it still won't work . I might just give them a call later today to see if they can price it out for me.

I'm still not sure we need an SUV for just the two of us, but yet the extra space is always so nice.......ah, decisions, decisions!

My $82/week from Dollar on a midsize is still looking good.

 

[Gina-Gina-Bo-Bina]

Rates for my dates are back up again today.

 

[Gina-Gina-Bo-Bina]

And.....rates are up even more this morning.

We arrive in 24 days. I had hoped to see some price movement at this stage, but this is the wrong direction!!

A few weeks ago I reserved a minivan for 2 weeks for $412. At the time I was thinking that was kind of high, but wanted to be sure we got a minivan. Now I am very thankful I did reserve it, since we arrive in 13 days, and it's almost 200 higher right now!

Up, Up...AND EVEN MORE UP! $$$

Up, Up...AND EVEN MORE UP! $$$

I am hoping the "what goes up, must eventually go down" philosophy starts kicking in soon!!

Anyone use EZ Rent A Car? Just got a $161 for 5 days for a full size car; is this good? They are located in the terminal of MCO which is what we wanted but I've never heard of this company before. Thanks

Glad I booked back in June with Dollar for $109 for a mid size for 8 days.

Finally! I just checked and my rental dropped a little, $19.33. I'm not complaining, at least it's some savings.

Rates are up for FLL too. I am sitting at $166 for 8 days all in with Alamo for an economy, but I am not giving up yet!!!

Just printed my documents because I don't think I'll see anything lower for SUV 1 week, Two hours, and noticed the code the agent used: FIXLO.

THIS WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE I WAS TRYING TO ENTER FIX09.
Sorry about the caps, dang iPad.

Tried it again with the new code, and rates are over $300 before taxes and fees . Maybe become I'm there the week of the Columbus Day holiday?

Surprisingly, my $161 with Alamo (all in) for a full size .... booked back in JUNE!!! ..... is looking like it might be "the one".

We are renting from Tampa, too. Because the fleet is larger/more competitive at MCO, great rates can be often be found early. Seems like Tampa the rates drop much closer to rental dates. Hang in there! I made a reservation a few months ago with Alamo 10 days for a minivan $360. Rates have only been higher since.

Ugh, waiting for these prices to drop is torture!

Call the number, is it, 800-800-4000, if the code is showing in the drop down menu as specials until Nov. 15th, they should be able to enter it.
I have three ressie said deciding which to keep now. Hoping for a drop to pennies on the Malibu...I dont't think that's happening if larger size is dropped.
