I have been searching for our August car rental and Alamo is pretty much our best bet but I still feel the need to do the daily check to see if rates went down. I have been using AAA for the search because the site allows me to check numerous codes at the same time. During one of the checks I get a rate for Hertz at $127.96 but I had to prepay. I had the choice of a full size car or a SUV but the SUV was a Ford Escape, so small. My Alamo rate is down to $100 for our 4 day rental but we are picking up at MCO and returning to Universal. Hertz is the onsite agency at Universal so it would make life a bit easier to use them over Alamo. Anyhow, while I research the car the rate disappears. I tried all day yesterday and never found the rate again. Finally, at 11pm last night I get the rate to show again but when I click through it the price reverts back to the typical $589 total rate.:headache: Wake in middle of night and decide to check again. This time the rate works when I click through, go to book the SUV and notice that the Escape will only hold 3 pieces of luggage.:sad2: So go to grab the full size and again rates are gone. Can't find them again. So can anyone tell me what the deal is with these rates.:upsidedow

Thanks for the help.:flower3:
