October rental car discounts?

[SWofDisorder]

We arrive mid October at MCO not for Disney but some appointments. Need a rental car for 8 days, have Costco, amex, AARP, etc. Any good codes out there to use?

Posting to follow - I have the same dilemma...

use undercover tourist. Buy a movie ticket if you don't need park tickets & when you check out there will be a link for discount car rentals we saved 50% in May. undercovertourist.com

Have you really used this? It sounds to good to be true. It would cut our car rental in half.

We used a rental car booked with undercover tourist for our DL trip in April, and have it booked for our WDW trip in Oct. We have also had to cancel multiple reservations and it was easy to get refund.

We used it this month. We bought a ticket for prepaid refreshments at our local movie theater, and that brought the price down from $476 via Costco to $290 via UT. Because it was prepaid, we had to go to the counter instead of using our Budget Fastbreak privileges, but it made the rental affordable for us, and we were very happy to have a car instead of being dependent on Disney transportation.

I am getting ready to buy a drink also and hoping I get a discount for the car.

It worked perfectly and we now have an eco box for under $200 for the entire week. Thank you for posting the UT link to do this.

Does this price include Insurance or do you transfer your own car Insurance ?

We have a credit card that provides primary coverage for rental cars, so we used that card.

I use my own insurance, and then have a card that will reimburse the deductible in case it gets to that point.

Thanks for the tip - just booked a minivan from Dollar for 8 days in October for less than $500.

So you purchase the advance movie ticket and then can link to the rental car reservation for the additional discount?

 

[MissScarlet]

Add the movie ticket to your cart, and then you should be able to see the updated car rental prices.

Nice to see many reporting success with this.

have tried this several times. maybe if you don’t have a decent rate to begin with, however, I’ve yet to have the UT discounted rate come anywhere near the rate I’ve ‘worked for’ Via booking many months ahead and checking repeatedly.

Always nice to have options tho!

This may seem like a dumb question; but I did the movie ticket; but I can't find an email or anything as to how to redeem it.

I keep looking and don't see any. Glad I have my reservation from 9 months ago. Still $300 cheaper than current prices.

The loophole that worked on UT to get the rental car discount by just buying like one movie ticket is no longer available. You have to buy a minimum of $100 worth of ticket or tickets before you get the discount. Also, they seem to no longer have the nice discounts with budget and Avis that were coming up for October.

Try autoslash.com I've had pretty good luck with them. They'll take your membership info and find the best current deal, and if you sign up to track the reservation, they'll notify you when something cheaper comes up.

I got in on the loophole and reserved my car for October on Wednesday. Hope they honor what I paid for it.
