Rental Car Rates in Orlando

[pumba200]

We're making an 8-day trip to WDW in April and have found that rental car rates are over $700 for every major rental company except Dollar and Enterprise. They are $122 and $196 respectively. This is for a full size car.

This is one of those things that appears to be too good to be true. I have to wonder what the catch is. What's wrong with these two companies that prompts them to rent a car for a quarter of the price of everyone else?

Thats because you are looking way too early for a car. the best rates can be found just before your trip.

Take a look at the Jan car rental thread. You will see when that thread was started people were quoted several hundred dollars. Yet when the trip got closer the prices dropped a lot.

When I looked for my Feb car rental I was getting $500 for a week quotes. Well the Tues before I left which is when the rental company release last minute rates, I got a car for less than $100

So there is hope for you.

Unless you are around Easter, things will settle down rate wise as it gets closer. As the previous poster mentioned, check the last minute rates about two to three weeks before your travel date. THere's a list of links to the last minute deals at rentalcodes.com
