I was going to post this as a reply to the earlier question about Tampa and $$$, but had questions beyond, so here goes...
We're flying into Tampa -- used miles for tickets and MCO was not available...
We'll be staying both on and off-site, so will need a car for 10 days. Checked National, using DC membership contract and coupon codes...and got a rate for a compact at $330 for the duration -- I checked the MCO price and it's about $220. Anyone know why, or if it's possible to get a better rate in Tampa?
Also -- for the Emerald Club membership, my understanding is that DC members get the $50 fee waived...can I join online, or do I need to go through the 800 number on the DC site? And, will I get better rates through that?
