Try some of the codes listed on mousesavers. I ended up getting a pretty good deal (minivan for $199/week for early Dec.) using the code "KISS2" from mousesavers, with Dollar. I booked that just to lock in the deal, but since you can cancel with no penalty, I am now checking periodically to see if I can get a better deal naming my own price on Priceline. (Supposedly, some people have gotten a minivan for as low as $19 a day on Priceline!) You can also periodically check to see if you can get a better deal using coupon codes, etc. as you get closer to your travel dates, but at least you'll already have a "fallback" reservation if the rates go up rather than down from what you booked at. (This is the nice thing about car rental reservations as opposed to flights -- there's no downside to booking early because you can always cancel if you find a better deal -- except with priceline, which is non-refundable.)

Do you need to present any kind of coupon at check-in when using one of the discount codes? I also saw a code for "ocvb" for Dollar that gave a good minivan price. Thanks, Castoff

I found a discount code for National that anyone can use and give 30% - 40% everywhere. It is 5005809. I used it along with my entertainment book coupon for a free day and am getting $232 for a trailblazer Dec. 9 - 15. It is the lowest I have found. Vacation Outlet code was about $16 higher. That code is 5042947. Both of these are codes anyone can use!

National - use Vacation Outlet contract ID 5042947 and the $30 off coupon from nationalcar.com and get the fullsize for $260.28 total.
