rental car frustrations

[abminer]

We're going Sunday 10/2 - Thursday 10/6. I've been looking for rental car deals for months. I've been bidding on Priceline daily for 2 weeks with no success (tried every size car, suv...).

Not staying over on a Saturday night is making most coupon codes non-applicable. I do have a reservation with Budget with a BCD (from mousesavers) code for $182 reserved, but keep reading about others paying less for longer rentals in better classes of car.

Can anyone cheer me up? Have you gotten great deals really last minute with Priceline? Our dates are blacked out on every "last minute deals" site.

You are going to end up with a daily rate, which is higher, because you are not staying for 5 days. Try alamo with this promo code: SUNPROMO
mousesavers.com has lots of codes you can play with. Good luck.

No codes worked for me because we don't have a Saturday keep, but today I finally got through on Priceline. It isn't as good as I'd hoped, but we got a compact at Budget for $19 a day. I can live with that.

That code did not need a Saturday stay, that is why I provided it.

I just did a search on Costco. Putting in your dates came up with $77.61, taxes included for a compact or $91.40 for a full-size at Enterprise.

It would be worth the $50 membership fee alone, just for this discount.
