I just booked a Dollar full size (City Special) for $149 total, Feb 9-14. That is MUCH lower than it had been. I will keep checking for better though.

Dollar is still dropping. Keep checking everyone

I am making a reservation at 240 for a midsize. I am still hoping for lower but I can live with this.

Thanks! I booked for $259 this morning and now it's $217. Glad I checked again!

Ok.. Alamo is dropping now too. Looking at 318 for the 9 days with my Insiders discount (but no coupon added). Still 78 dollars higher than my reservation with Dollar at this point. This is the movement I've been waiting for. In the past sometimes they would drop 5 or 6 times over a 24 hour period. So once you make your reservations, check every couple of hours and remember to cancel the last booking!

Dollar has gone back up this morning. What I booked for $217 last night is back up to $311, which is what it was on 1/11.

Enterprise is really low this morning. On car rental savers I can get a standard for 192.00! I just don't know anything about Enterprise. Has anyone used them? I think I'll book but not get rid of my Dollar reservation until I read some reviews.

pigletto · 01-13-2013, 08:01 AM

I ended up booking it on the website for 219. When I input the code carrentalsavers was using it doesn't work. I've never booked with car rental savers before and didn't want to use them in case I got locked in to a rate. I have some more reviews to read.

Alamo dropped a little this morning now at 253 for a mid size SUV. Feb 2-10 with free day code and insider.

Mic2129 · 01-13-2013, 08:34 AM

Just an FYI the Alamo visa code is working today. Code is AD2338FDF has to be 5 days or more with a Saturday ends 2/28. Hope this helps someone.

Thanks for the tips everyone! I just used the City Special, earlier this morning I got my 6 days for $207 after tax for a standard, cleared my browser history, went back in and got a Full Size for $191!!

I haven't been able to match any of your quotes in this thread. I get $491.97 from MCO using your codes and we're trying the same dates. Where are you renting from and what times are you using?

I guess it has stopped working again- I am getting a message that it isn't available at this time.

I used this code earlier this morning as I saw prices dropped a tad and was able to get a full size car from 2/2-2/10 for $154.15. I just tried it now and the exact same thing is up to $170.74. Go figure!!

Edited to add I just tried it again and it's back to $154.15! I guess just keep trying... I noticed it didn't have me logged in as an insider the one time, so just double check it didn't remove anything. Can I just say I realy don't care for Alamo's new website.. the old one (at least from last year) worked better for me and I liked how I could put my airline info in as I can't find how to do it on this one.

I'm renting from Alamo site. Pick up @mco 12. Drop off @mco at 2pm. If you have been on their website a lot, try deleting for cookies and history on your browser. That has worked for me to drop the prices. These websites download cookies onto your computer to know how often you have been on their website. If they find these cookies they will keep the price high or even raise it from the lower prices you have seen before. By doing this they are hoping you will book at these higher rates.
