It's only $20 per day. I would keep it. Especially since the WL can be a long way from the other 3 parks. Plus you get to do grocery runs for snacks and breakfast foods (and alcohol if you imbibe) and you won't have to mess around with ME on the way home.
We leave in 4 days and prices are high. DH and I keep going back and forth on the car rental. We don't really *need* a car. We do really prefer to have one as we don't like having to be out at the buses an hour before we want to be anywhere, we like to take afternoon breaks and the car makes them so much quicker, we'd like to eat offsite once or twice but we don't have to.
Spending money is tight for this trip as it is. We have the car booked for $165, add in exchange and gas and we're looking at about $200.
So there we are. We could just go with M.E., use Disney transportation and cancel the car. I just like having it, I don't need it.
I better make up my mind soon.
No sure I got the right info from your 2 posts combined, but if you're getting a 9 day rental from 12/13 to 12/21 for $200 all in then you are doing pretty good given the best I could find for those dates is a base rate or $119.92 and taxes/fees of $62.17 for a total of $182.09 for a midsize with Dollar. The secret for renting from Dollar close to arrival date is to click the City Rate specials and they'll give you their rock bottom rates in the classes they have availability. To get to these rates, put dates into their rental form and choose all car types. When it gives you options, the City Special rates will be a button you can click on to get the best prices for your location. Using those on the dates above shaved an additional $19 off the best available rate in a general search.
Thanks! I got a compact for 12/22-12/29 for $176.78, for a savings of $60 over my previous price!
So DH found an Avis coupon in the Entertainment Book for $45 off a weekly rental. Even though it had online codes, he tore it out and I stapled it to the rental car confirmation sheet he printed out, to see if it would work. When we got to MCO and my DS's and I went to get the luggage, he went to the Avis counter and said "my DW has been bugging me to ask if I can use this coupon," so as to play it off. The agent said "sorry no, since you booked through a 3rd party." He then informed my DH that he only had 1 compact car and it was a 2-door. DH asked if there was anything else, since a 2-door for 4 people would have been a pain, and the agent said that since he had the coupon, he'd give him a Ford Fusion (full-sized car) for the same price. Given that it was a 3 car upgrade and it's usually $2/day extra per upgrade, plus taxes, that represented the $45 coupon, and then some!
