Also watching prices for January... any good deals lately?
Have been checking twice daily, sometimes more if I have the time . We have a Dollar reservation, and have not seen our rates drop since I booked ..........in JULY ! Thats the lowest I have seen it, since our trip has be planned . Not sure why rates have not been dropping , but this is the first time I have experienced this .........and we rent cars for our Disney trips ...... a LOT (we dont use ME unless we have too) . We are less than 2 months out, and rates are still hovering about $100. MORE than when I booked in July .
We are holding a Dollar reservation , using the "City Special" promo code . So far the best I have been able to acquire is $238. for a compact for 8 days . This is from Sanford , so rates are generally a
little more $$$ than MCO, but not
that much more . Usually, we are about $100. LESS for our car rental , and usually for an intermediate, mid or full size than what we have reserved this time around, and its a compact ! Usually I see the rates jump around a lot all over the place and sometimes get low enough to beat our reservation price by a few dollars , or at least get close to it as time goes by. This time around ........ the rates have NOT dropped any where near what our reservation price is .........weird.
Not sure why rates have not been dropping much ......... they seem to be holding at a high price point. The sweet spot seems to be around 45-60 days out , so I will be checking more aggressively the next couple of weeks, since we are under 60 days now.
Will report back if I have any success !
EDIT : Just checked our rates for Sanford vs. MCO for a comparison . For Dollar , they are staggeringly higher for MCO !!! Right now, Sanford is holding about $100. higher than our reservation price I made in July , and MCO is more than $200 higher !!! This is definitely strange , as MCO is always slightly less $$$ than Sanford !
