We are also going Aug and Nov and cannot believe how high the rates are! I thought if we got closer to the Aug trip then it would be going down but it is actually increasing.$12 more drop. Has to be even lower, for my tastes. I just keep checking, er, swimming.
Do you just re-check or do you watch your reservation in some system?
My dollar rental went down today and got a better class with it. It was only a saving of $3 but going from a mid size to a Standard for me is better. I could get a manager special for $30 cheaper or for $275 if I will pay for it now but I can't chance getting stuck with a compact car. Anybody ever have luck getting something better with a managers special from Dollar?
Never bit on the Manager's Special but we've done the City Special twice, got a midsize for less than a Compact or Economy last year and this. I'm holding off on any Pay Now deal unless our 11 days drops into the low $200s.

Finally! Real downward movement!
Oct. 11 7pm to Oct. 21 6pm, Alamo minivan -- $545 using Costco contract code and coupon code AD2365FDN. Had previously booked at $586.
Thank you!I recommend booking a full size car also as there is times that Mini Vans are in the full size aisle. What until you arrive to check in and just go straight to the car. If you see a mini van in the full size aisle then grab it and do online check in and skip the counter right in the van. Then just show your phone, DL, and Credit Card at the gate. You might end up saving a lot of money. If there isn't any then just do the same for your mini van reservation.
Dollar went down another $8 so I'm on my 4th cancel/rebook cycle. It pays to check every day.

Bill - Thank you!
I read your post about Dollar - put in my info - found a CDP code (3062551) and booked a 10-day Manager's Special for $258! I was at $312 with Alamo, with a coupon that got kicked. I feel like I can relax a little - I'm finally pretty happy with what I have booked!
