Used an awesome National code for my April trip!

[longing4disney]

Right now I am in a Standard SUV for $267, is that a good price?

National is quoting at $250 drop fee for pickup at CCC and return at MCO. Is this common with all car rental companies?

$250 drop fee? That's insane! Most car rental companies now charge a drop fee (they never used to in FL ) but it's usually less than $250. Budget doesn't charge a drop fee so it's worth while to check them out for a "one way" rental.

Thanks. I have just check budget. The rate is pretty good. I think I'll go with that. I notice that National only charge the drop fee with the KLM code. The drop fee falls off when I tried the visa code. So looks like this KLM is only good for pick up and drop off at the same place

I didn't try that code, used the KLM code and the visa upgrade. I have a midsize for Nov 10-16 for $197.00. It was better then the $225.00 I had a few months ago.

With Budget and the Wendie code D454300 and E-Coupon MUGZ029 for $30 off you can get an intermediate SUV for $168 inc taxes and coupon which is applied when return vehicle.

Use the DIS code Y937800 for Budget pickup near WDW.

Interesting, I see I have a $129 outstanding balance from my July rental. I wonder how that works. I don't see any reference to the KLM code, so it looks like the price is without the code. Maybe that's just how they report it?

I hope not... I don't like thinking that will be on my record ANYWHERE! I am legit, I signed up for the mileage plan when I used the code just now. I dare them to let me have the discount and then leave it on my account... I am the sort that WOULD call and ask them to remove it/tell me exactly why it is there! You can deny me the code, but don't put a permanent record on me after the fact!

i just check the website and i too am showing a balance. I just called and the agent said on his site it is showing the contracted rate and that it is paid in fulll no balance due He did however suggest checking the license number the ressi was made under and I couldn't do that right now because it's my dh's and he isn't home...so i will call back and update here.

Does anyone have any updates on getting the owed balance removed from their account? I have a ressie with this code, but I'm also reluctant to use it if it shows somewhere that I owe them money, even if the agent says I don't.

Thanks!

A friend used that rate in April and although he also had that "remaining charge" , they've never charged him. I think it's safe.

No one has posted about this in over a month. We leave in nine days and I don't want to run into any issues!

 

[budbeerlady]

Bump...

 

[conniehar90]

I have used this code twice with no issues. We used it in March 12 and Aug 12. Yes, a balance still shows as due but I have never been charged or contacted about it. I have two more ressies set up with the code coming up. This is a legit code and I don't think anyone needs to worry about it.

 

[syk731]

Has anyone tried to have the balance due removed from their account? What happened?

 

[sunshine girl]

I'm curious about this too! Anyone?

 

[sfarmbo]

Any update on this. We leave in 5 weeks. Using this code our price for a mini van is $463.00, The next closest is hotwire at $626.00.

I just got back from my WDW trip. I used the KLM code because I needed LDW. When I returned the car, I was given a receipt and my credit card was charged the amount I was expecting based on the KLM code. I had signed up for e-receipts so I received an email receipt, which showed what I paid, which was for the car rental fee, but also showed that I still owed about the same amount that I paid for the car rental, which was for the LDW, the SLI, and the various taxes that the KLM code is supposed to include.

I emailed them back and said that my code covers all of those fees that still show as being owed. I said that I wanted a new receipt that shows I have paid in full. I got a new receipt that has the total owed as the amount that I paid, and the total paid as the amount that I paid, and then a zero balance as a result. They basically just went back and zeroed out the LDW, SLI, and the other taxes.

I just got a Midsize car for $206.51 for March 4-11.

Hoping I can get it cheaper, but for now this will do. Last time we rented a car, we paid just under $100. through Alamo. But that has been a couple years ago.

Thanks for this info! Very helpful. I appreciate it! Glad it worked out.
