What's up with car rental rates!

[PSU]

Argh - looking for a 10 day rental in Oct..tried Costco coupon at Alamo...still riduluous compared to last year...Any ideas? Generally any cheaper if renting onsite at the Dolphin or Car care center? Thinking of doing ME....
What about hotwire or priceline? Any bad experiences?

i just gave advantage a shot and 450 for 8 days is NO advantage

Really, What are your dates?, we have a 10 day rental middle of September for a midsize for $172

Hotwire or Priceline will work, but much closer to your trip.
Keep looking...check mousesavers.com for rental car codes.
Dollar, try OCVB
Alamo, combine Walmart code plus weekly savings code under hot deals
etc
Book the lowest you can find now, then keep checking.

Good luck ... We've had a car booked for our October trip since June and the weekly rate hasn't changed yet

Thanks for the opinions....will check further.....but book something asap... seems like costs aren't necessarily dropping consistently as time gets closer

I am a DVC Member and I booked before Disney started offering free dinning in Sept. I rented a Mini Van, more than 8 months out for my 10 day trip 09//08/09 - 09/18/09 and got it for around $450. However I always check rates again as my trip nears. This time the same info was almost $1300. Am happy i book early.

I am going to WDW in Sept and I think the rates went up because of Disney Free Dinning Offer.

If you was the rental car company, you can't miss Disneys advertising this offer and the what will you celebrate? Ad
