Got a "full size" car rental through Priceline - $17 per)day. Arrived in Orlando today. I have Emerald Club, but went to counter (five reps, four people, no line...) gave him my credit card (for damage deposit) and EA number. He directed me to the EA - I looked at the printout and it showed Priceline, but only that it was paid in full for two weeks, didn't print out what I paid. Also, gave me a rate of $175 for additional week (won't need it)

Anyway, got to the Aisle and, bummer, only four cars, 3 were Grand Am's, one Grand Prix. There was nobody else in the EA, but others in other Aisles getting assistance. I hung around the Grand Prix (in case someone else showed) and figured I would wait until I could get an employee's attention to see if they would be bringing more vehicles, only waited for less than 5 minutes when they drove in a New GMC Jimmy, less than 2500 miles - grabbed it and left with no hassles. So, am paying $119 a week for an SUV.

DH & DS arrived 2 hours later and were quite pleasantly surprised, especially with all the luggage and golf clubs, very handy.

Ready to hit the parks in the a.m. - gotta get some sleep but wanted to share this happy experience.

(Also did Priceline for hotel and are at Hyatt Orlando, it's been nice so far.....)

Hey - What can I say? Offsite gets me there every year.
 
EXCELLENT!! Thanks for the report! We are hoping to upgrade to a premium or SUV when we go down!! We'll remember to hang around the Aisle for a while if we don't see one!!
 
Well, how is the Hyatt Orlando? I have been waiting for your trip to start. I figured a fellow Minnesotan could give the "low-down." My wife and I will be staying at the Hyatt Orlando in May. Glad to hear you got the Jimmy! That was probably very nice with the clubs. Have fun on the courses! Guess What? 40-Below wind chills tonight!!!! I know that you saw the snow before you left, but at least you missed the cold!

We just came back from a 13 day stay at WDW. We rented a full size car from National with our EI discount card and the Entertainment discount. We got the car for 197.00 for the 13 days and that included all expenses! They did try to charge us more when we returned the car. We had our confirmation number and they did honor the reduced fee of 197.00. Great!

Thanks for sharing that great news!

I will be doing the same thing with Priceline and
EA! Got 10 days for $15 a day.

I'm glad everything went smoothly for you, we are hoping for the same.

Enjoy yourselves!!

Hi Eeyore! I am not a fellow Minnesota person but is a Maine native far north enough for you? We stayed at the Hyatt through Priceline a few weeeks ago and were very happy there. It is so close to the Disney entrance you may arrive at the parks before someone staying on site and messing with buses and monorails can! The rooms seem geared to a adult business class of clientel; blow dryer, coffeemaker, iron plus ironing board in the room; but the room was clean, comfortable and close. Sign up for the Gold Passport club(on their website) and then request a first floor room with an inner hallway and courtyard view. No Mickey-shaped soaps but I can't see why anyone would'nt be satisfied with the Hyatt,IMHO. Have fun! :cool:
