Octobers rates are still considerably high... I booked my sil about 3 weeks ago a midsize through alamo for 8 days $184 w/ tax & fees... todays rates were $215. I check the rates daily...
I've found the best discounts through our bjs membership + using a bjs coupon.
I just got a midsize rental for a week (9/23-9/30) at Alamo for a rate of $99.12 weekly using my Costco membership. It came to $134 out the door which is $50 less then the reservation I made afew months back. Would love to get it even lower. Anyone know if you can use additional coupon codes with the costco rates?

If you don't have a rate you like look at mousesavers.com on the car rental page. They have THE BEST codes for rates. You just have to keep trying. I booked my minivan 3 weeks ago for $365. Now I have it at $210 with free add'l driver. I saved over $150 on the car and $56 for the add'l driver. We have our rental from Sept 21-28. It definitely pays to keep checking the rates the closer you get to your vacation. Good Luck!
Thanks! I just did that and it worked! We are now at $111 out the door for a midsize 1 week rental!!
I printed out the coupon to take with us. One question- the fine print on the coupon says "may not be combined with other discounts". Is using my Costco contract ID# considered "another discount"? Has anyone ever been given a hard time about this?
We only need 2 full weekend days 9/16-18 to visit family nearby. Full size out the door w/National, AARP code (allows one extra driver), NU6 coupon (allows 2 size upgrade from compact to full size) is just under $49. I'm happy with that. It's dropped since our first ressie was made a month ago. Can't get close to that on Alamo.
its only freaking 10 dollars more for me to rent a minivan from Dollar rent a car for 15 days starting Sept 30th, than it would be to rent for 8 days starting Oct 6 (or pretty much anyother day in october)
what is UP with October!!!???
btw way the rate for 15 days, 2 drivers, 7 pass. mini van, unlim. miles 410.05.
I can rent one from thrifty thru orbitz for 225 tho, but i've never trusted orbitz.
I got a full size SUV from alamo for 8 days (picking up and dropping off in two different cities) for $141.86 after taxes. That includes an additional driver, unlimited miles. I checked it again today and it would cost me $385.00 if I would book today! WOW!
