We are planning a June trip to DW. Originally we planned on driving but recently we have found some great airfares and are considering flying. I've looked on the internet for car rentals and the price for renting a car is actually higher than flying!

We are a family of six (kids ages 13,11,8,8). Could we get by with something other than a mini-van? We are not going to drive much but because we are booked at FW would prefer to have our own car.

Also what are some discounts available. I've looked through Disney Club and Entertainment.

Thanks for your help.
 
If you don't want a van, you need at least a full-size car which can seat 3 at the front and 3 in the back. Some of the buick may do that.

Car rental discount--if you belong to Disney Club, they offer you 10% on daily weekly and monthly at National. Or you can apply for an Emerald card for free with DC.

Also check www.mousesavers.com for discount codes on rental car.
 
We have a full-size for fourteen days for a May trip that we got through Priceline for $17/day. With all taxes and fees is just about $300 for the two week rental --- way cheaper than any site that I tried (including Dollar and Alamo). If you're willing to give Priceline a try, read as much as you can on TravelSheryl's website, www.biddingfortravel.com before placing your bid. And remember that Pricelien reservations are NON-CHANGEABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE. Even with these restrictions, we've used them several times and have always gotten GREAT deals.
 
Who did you get thru Priceline? I worry about getting L & M. I haven't heard good things about them.
