In the past I’ve checked constantly, this time I’ve been checking every week or so. I’ll step up the game now, hoping to cut the cost a fair bit more if possible.Had no idea car rental places had such volatile pricing. How often are you guys checking these? I'd love to do this for our January 2020 trip.
I'm 14-23 and yes, Alamo rates (the only one I use) have been very high while others seem to have gotten a bit of a break other weeks. A few weeks ago a STD SUV saw a bit of a dip to $405, but has since bounced way back up. I will usually get in the mid 200s for an SUV regardless of season. Perhaps because the weekend before Thanksgiving is now being considered Thanksgiving week. There's still some time, so checking daily.I am starting to get a bit concerned about our November car rental. We have a longer trip booked, the 13th-24th and the prices are all coming up between $500-$600. We do this trip annually, and while prices have creeped up over the years, we’ve always been below $300. I was able to get a decent price out of the car care center, but then we’d have to get there.
is anyone else seeing crazy high prices? It seems to be specific to our dates, because I have looked at different weeks and the prices are much more reasonable.
I just got a Nissan truck for 11/16-11/23 through Alamo for $180 total with the AP discount and the Alamo Insider rate. Not too bad, I thought .
dznyacct, was that the pick up truck? I don’t feel comfortable renting a pick up truck with the luggage in the back, etc in case it rains.
Wow!My husband and I are visiting from 11/23 through 12/7. I wasn't finding anything at MCO under $500-$600 or more. I accidentally selected Orlando rather than MCO during a Priceline search. I found a mid-size SUV from Hertz for $331 including all taxes and fees. We'll take rideshare from the airport to the pickup location. I'm so happy to pay only $165 a week for our two-week rental!
Alamo is crazy this week. I was hoping to see my price of $282 for a STD SUV start dropping. It is up to $387 this week. People on the October rental board have got STD SUV's for as low as $225.
