Just got a rental with Budget through car rental savers for a full size for $143 (2/23 - 2/27; weekly rate). Best I've found.

Just checked again and got the same deal for $137.66. Every few dollars helps.

Traveling the 7th-15th, so far the past few days Costco travel my minivan has went from $340 to $290.

[kiki02]

Thank you! I'm finding these contract/coupons are yielding the best rates for our dates (2/19 - 2/26). First time I've gotten below $300 on a full size car from Alamo!

When did you book the air? I'm siting on a Budget reservation I made in July which I am happy with but I know at some point between now and 2/24 it will be lower.

I was able to book with Budget today for $121 taxes included for a full size Jan 28-Feb 3. I tried and tried for Alamo but couldn't get them down.

 

[kiki02]

We fly into Fla 2/16/17. Into Tampa. It's crazy high now.

 

[Southernswthrt]

We are also flying into TPA and it's so high, I haven't booked yet

FYI, with same information as above, our Alamo full size just went down another $20 to $278 for the week out of MCO.

 

[Southernswthrt]

I was just able to book Dollar for Feb 26-Mar 4 (7 days) in TPA for $141 Lock low and go or $202 for a full size. It was the city special with no promo codes. I'm relieved that at least I have something now!

 

[keishashadow]

1/29
$118+ all in
Dollar mid size
Booked thru ebates for 4% rebate
AAA rate (includes my spouse as 'free' extra driver
Weekly rental rate

Citispecial was $128, no extra driver

Have express, hope the pickup @ garage is smooth. Cannot remember if you get to pick your own car from aisle with them or not? Believe budget assigned last random time I booked them.

We just planned an adult only weekend trip Feb 24-26 and staying off site. We had a mid sized car booked through Alamo (via Costco) for $76 and this morning rebooked an intermediate SUV through Budget for $64. A compact would have been $50.

My daughter's 4 day rental dropped alot today. Using Alamo, Full size, contract/7014926 and $25 coupon AD3868jst. She went from $152 to $108. She was happy. Feb. 1-5

My rates are starting to drop too Alamo (national's rates are horrible). Full size, same codes for 11 days for $290. Still on the fence whether I'll keep what I have or book it. I don't leave until Feb. 7-18.

 

[pdietz]

Large price drop today for the week of 2/7-2/15. Down to $205 for an suv via costco travel and debating on carrentalsavers.com for a compact for $187. Has anyone ever used carrentalsavers.com?
