Please take a look at my rental car reservation

[Claudia2002]

Hello-

Could you please help me with my National Car rental reservation? I copied and pasted it below.

I used a mousesaver code and my entertainment book. What does variable mean here? Also, it says total estimate...... Is this the price I will pay for the 3 days even if it says one variable? Thanks for your help.

Hello-

Mary is pertty clear about this. Variable means it could change, either up or down.


Contract ID 5760339, which is associated with the huge corporate travel agency Carlson Wagonlit, can be a lifesaver for certain kinds of rentals. Anyone can use it. I've been playing around with this Contract ID and sometimes the rates it produces are great. It seems to be especially good for short stays and compact through fullsize cars. It doesn't seem to be very good for SUVs or minivans. Note that the base rate will show on the confirmation as "variable" but several people (myself included) have tested this Contract ID and have always been charged the quoted rate.

Thanks for your help on this!

Since I used 5760339, maybe they will honor the reservation.

Two more questions....

If I reserved this under my name, can the DH go by himself and pick up the car?

Finally, is there a shuttle that can pick up at AKL and transport to the Disney Car Center?


Thanks again!!

The person holding the reservation has to pick up the car. I don't know about the shuttle bus, but, you can call National's toll free and ask 1-800-car rent. The fact that us used that code is what is giving you the variable rate. They will honor the fact that you have a reservation, but, you need to realize that that code is gives you a variable. Confusing, for sure. Personally, I would try rebooking with a different rate code and the same coupon. I don't like variable rates.
