May 2012 Car Rentals

Finally! Sanford Alamo rates dropped to an acceptable level!

I just got a mid size for $132 for 5 days & I have a full size for $159, I'll probably go with the full size - we like a nicer ride.

Just got my minivan booked through Alamo for $195 total for Sunday-Saturday, May 13-19. I didn't qualify for a coupon. Only used the Insider code. The lowest I had found was $232 through National. Although I love National, it's not worth that much $.

Thank you so much everyone! I just found this thread today, and I'm able to use the information here to rent at Alamo for a last-minute trip in a few weeks. Just checked again, and my rental in Seattle came down another $6 since lunch! That's snack money!

Do you need to be a member to use the costco id and coupon code? Got a great rate, but it says id may be required. Does anyone know?

Some people have said they have asked for your membership card and some people they haven't so unfortunately you should probably only use these codes if you're a member just in case. Have you gone to the mousesavers rental car section to see if there are any other codes you can use?

Watch your rates, we took a last minute trip and 10 days before we left the rate was over $200 for 6 days with Alamo. By the night before we left it was down to $90 and then I used a Costco code and coupon to get it down to $70

Still can't get cheaper than my full size from May 10 - May 20th for $141 taxes and fees included. Not complaining......

What are your dates?

What are your dates?

5/18 to 5/31 Just checked again right now and it's already gone back up again to over $200. I'm hoping to still get a full size for same price as I got the midsize for.

I don't think MCO has mid-size so I think you get a full size anyway.

Bummer about it already going up. I guess that's what I get for taking a couple days off from checking.

MCO does have mid-size. It's standard size that they don't have.

Got a better deal today....Dollar has a new special for "North Florida" on their home page and Orlando is included. My Rate dropped another $40 for a minivan. I ended with $196.60 total for May 20-26 minivan. I noticed Budget dropped another $70 for the same dates to $232.

Anyone know if these companies estimates for fees/taxes are pretty accurate or will I have any big surprises at checkout with Dollar?

With Costco you can get a minivan for $189 inc taxes with Alamo and free additional driver. Dollar charges $10/day for the additional driver.

Thank you! I couldn't remember what car, for sure, they did not have.

Can someone please help me? I have tried to read through all of the info and I have to admit I am getting more and more confused. Looking for a standard to mid-size rental 5/11 - 5/23. What are the best discounts? Thanks! You guys are amazing at these codes!
