I have a second reservation for an intermediate w/ EA. If there are no minivans on the EA I'll go with the minivan ressie.

I think the minivan rate is very good based on my searches for August. What dates are the rental?

I have a full size at Thrifty July 2-July 8 for $146.49 everything included. Used the WMRT code for a 10% discount. Just wondering, my reservation says "renter must be the Primary Wal-Mart Account Holder" do I really need to be an account holder? Will they ask to see my card?

I usually rent from National but with the EA changes this was the best deal. I had lots of trouble on National's site. The best I could find on National for an intermediate using Carlson code and EC $20 coupon was $154.46.

What has everyone's past experiences with Thrifty been?

I have a mini van reserved for 26 June - 12 days and the lowest I can get
is $585 and that's using Sam's Club and Priceless Vacations!.
I keep checking for lower rates but it says that the car class is
sold out. I cleared the cache as suggested and it says the same.
I've check for off airport (Harvey Ill.) and Midway Airport and they both say
the car class is sold out.

It's frustrating to think that I can't get a lower rate because the vans are
supposedly sold out.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

If you don't mind my asking, what is WWEB product code the code for? If it's Sams Club it would be great as I am a member. Thanks.

 

[cindyfan]

curlyjbs and tiggersgirl.......
try using the Priceless code with out the WWEB.
I have tried using both and get higher rates....not sure, but I think the WWEB supersedes the other codes, making them useless.

Just a thought

Or also try to see if it is cheaper to go with the weekly rate instead of the "5 days".

 

[curlyjbs]

The WWEB is a product rate code assigned by national. It showed up on a mini van rental i got for my sister so I tried it with your dates. Anyone can use it.

BTW This is a rental out of orlando.......right?


UPDATE: I tried it without WWEB just now and came up with the same rate. Oh well. guess that point is moot.

I don't know how much better you can do since your trip is 2 weeks and 3 days! That's a long time.

You could try maybe 2 separate reservations, which would mean having to go back to the airport and return the car and get a new one. I've heard of people doing that to save money and use more than one coupon!

I just checked your dates at National and got $1300!!

When I did them separately and used $20 on each reservation the grand total was $1060.

I guess you have to stick with Dollar!

 

[tiggersgirl]

Thanks curlyjbs and cindyfan

No, this rental is not out of Orlando, we're driving from Chicago.
I suppose that would somehow make a big difference?

I just tried it again and it stills says this class (mini van)
is sold out, even for Midway Airport and O'Hare, two pretty big airports!!

Thanks any way for your help!

Robinette,

I don't think national will let you hold 2 ressies up to the last minute without charging you for both. I believe they have a 24 hour cancellation rule. You may want to check.

This is EA and NO concession fee. I know people have used it and haven't gotten billed,but with my luck................

Hey it's only $10.00 difference,but I'd rather have $10.00 in my pocket than MCO's.

I just booked with National,EA ,intermediate for 6/26 thru 6/2 and used the above codes.(My BJ's coupon has a different code) I was wondering "NO CONCESSION FEE" means above. Sorry, if this is a stupid question.

Thanks Curly, I didn't know that. I will look into it.

Concession Fee is one of the many extra fee's you are charged when renting a vehicle. What it is for, I don't know.

When using the priceless code 6600330, that fee is omitted.

 

[curlyjbs]

no prob. Robinette! Good Luck ~ hope you get your minivan!

[rafikimom]

Let me know what you find out about double reservations. I have several at National also. I didn't see anywhere in the fine print that they would charge you for cancellation less than 24 hrs. Let me know! Thanks!

I called National to check on this. I was told that if you had to give a credit card to book your reservation, then you will be charged $50 if you don't use the reservation. You have up to 24 hours to cancel with out being charged.

Big thank you again curly!!!
