November 2011 car rentals

[Cinderumbrella]

Just went in and "modified" my reservation for an economy car, 11/1 -11/9 at MCO using Costco code (of which I am a member and have the card) and Rate code AA8X and the $35 off coupon code of AD2359FDF.

My total WITH an additional free driver and all taxes is (drum roll please) $92.72!!
That is a little more than $10 a day!


Hope this helps others. I have definitely found that using a rate code (AA8X) is key.

After days of tearing my hair out, I finally got these codes to work for us too!! 11/1-11/7 for a standard $129!!!! We previously had a 1 day rental from the Dolphin for a standard for $37 and now we keep it for the week!

Question: Since its a Costco code, do we still get the extra driver for free?

I've just re-booked my Alamo reservation and now have a mid-size for a total of $123 for 11/1 - 11/8.

For the last week the rates have been all over the place - sometimes over $200, sometimes "down" to $160. This is the first big drop I've seen.



PS - Used my Insider ID and the $35 coupon AD2359FDF

I've just re-booked my Alamo reservation and now have a mid-size (I know, that's a full-size at MCO) for a total of $123 for 11/1 - 11/8.

I think you're wrong about a mid-size being a full-size at MCO. It's a standard that is a full-size, because I have rented mid-size cars from Alamo at MCO before.

My Alamo rental for a Standadrd just went down another $4 today. Now at $74.82, with $37.34 being taxes and fees. Nov 26 - Dec 1.

I just re-did my National rental and it went from $350 to $170 for 10 days. This was with amex contract and a $35 coupon.

Thanks for posting! I went from $130 this am for a standard to $112 for a full size!

Today, it seems that booking thru Costco is cheaper than booking thru Alamo. Saved another $18!!

The coupon is an e-coupon so there is nothing to print. I would bring my Costco card just in case though. Sometimes they have asked for it at the gate.
In any case...here is a link to the coupon ... https://www.alamo.com/index.do?action=/hotDealsTemplate&msg=Alamo_American2008specials-35-off
It is good until Dec 2012 for $35 off.

Hey Costco users!!!
Kris - thanks for the link!
Change the insiders code to 7015309 and get a 25% off plus add the $35 off coupon too! My reservation went down $5 grand total $65!!!!!
and p.s on my reservation it does say additional driver included!

 

[guarn3md]

I just double checked my Alamo reservation again and it dropped $25! Now I have a Standard booked for 8 days 11/18 - 11/25 (but leaving late after an early morning arrival) and the total w/taxes - $99!!!! To think I started with a reserved car that was $260!
Just used insiders link with 20% Florida rental discount and coupon for $35 off...

Just checked Alamo for a friend- 11/4-11/10 they want $637 for a minivan for 6 days. Do people really pay that much???


(I haven't put in any codes yet, just wanted to see their "base" price)

Wow I started at $338 for a month ago for a 10 day + 8 hour rental from Nov 20 - 29th. I used the Alamo $35 coupon AD2359FDF and insiders ID 7015309 and now I'm at $151. Nice for a holiday week.

Congrats on the great rate! I think the 7015309 code is costco though. Just wanted to clarify.

You are totally correct on that one. No way is a Corolla (for instance) considered a full size

Does anyone know if you can mix the codes and coupons? I was just playing around with the Costco code - 7014627 and the BJs $40 coupon - AD8Z21SDB and got my rate lower than either using the Costco code and $30 Costco coupon or the BJs code and the $40 BJs coupon. Just wondering if they'd give me a hard time since the code is for Costco, but the coupon is BJs.

Thanks!

You can mix codes and coupons

You can mix codes and coupons

Thank you! So then, my standard car went down from $145 to $137 for Nov. 24 - Dec. 4.

 

[headoflife]

I had to look several times, but I just lowered my already great rate for 11/19-11/16 to ... $77.89. I can't believe it. That is a standard size through Alamo with the insider code and the $35 off coupon. I could have gotten a smaller car and gotten it for even less! Thanks everybody!

 

[lawgs]

check your rates for the end of november

base rate seems a bit higher if you just do a week....if you do a week and a day it is 138~

we have booked november 24 - dec 2, up until tonight/this morning we have been hovering in the 300~ range, now it is down over 150$ for the 8 days

 

[Dan Murphy]

Hi lawgs. Thanks for the info. I have been in Alamo mode past several trips. Any suggested codes and/or coupons?

 

[DisneyDreams4]

I have been trying these codes but can not get any good rate. maybe someone has some other codes or advice

I need a minivan or anything that can hold 6 people

11/25 thur 12/1.

another idea if I just rented some where near bay lake towers for a few days?

Thank you for your help
