I just confirmed a pre-paid full-size rental for Aug 19 to Sep 2 from Dollar through Expedia for $435 CAD which works out to about $332 USD. No codes or anything. I had booked a car in January for $565 CAD so I'm happy with the drop in price.

Thank you! I've been searching for a reasonable rate for a rental out of Tampa. Your combination of Costco member code & the second coupon code gave me a quote $100USD less than the Costco website!

I'm using Alamo as well.
Dates: Aug 10-19 for $276.60 (hopefully it goes down over time)

I booked a midsize with free upgrade to standard which will actually be a full size at MCO

Just to let people know, I have been asked to show my Costco card when picking up a car using the Costco code. It was at a "local" location but I don't think I would be 100% comfortable using the code if I was not a member of Costco.

If you go to the counter there's always that possibility. To avoid that when your ready to commit to the reservation click on the on-line check in link, complete it and the next screen will offer to skip the counter. Complete that screen including Credit Card info and it sends you a confirmation saying:

Skip the counter. Skip the kiosk. Go directly to your vehicle. Your check-in is complete! You can now Skip the Counter and go directly to your vehicle.

The gate where you drive out of the garage is not where they check if you're using a legitimate code. I've never had them ask me for my Costco card or anything else other than my drivers license and the CC you reserved with.

No kidding, so they don't actually have standard at MCO? They give you a full size?

I have also had my proof of membership checked at the gate.

Hmmm interesting. I actually have an expired Costco card, but if I didn't I would just tell them it's in my luggage and see if they want me to tie up their exit lane while I dig it out of my suit case.

i'll try these codes out.

Keeping tabs on August rates - currently at $249.00 for 9 days with Alamo w/ Costco & $25 off codes. 25% off code returned a $30 higher rate somehow...

Same here. The costco codes somehow yielded a higher cost.

I am getting $388 for a Standard SUV for 1 week in CA. I think that's still a little too high, and will keep checking for a better rates.

Do we have any coupons for the other car rentals (Enterprise, Hertz, etc.)

 

[HaViet]

Also, does anyone know what cars Alamo has in their Luxury lineup besides the Cadillac XTS?

Picking up the same car at LAX costs $150 more for a week....WHY?

Aren't you supposed to have more choices with LAX, more cars, etc.?

California is pricey all the way around. I'll be feeling that pain in late August when I head out to SoCal for a trip to DLR and USH. Earlier this month, I briefly saw a Budget listed at 220ish all-inclusive for 7 days via Undercover Tourist, but was put off by the requirement to enter payment info. Now that deal's gone.....d'oh.

I heard that you should always pick standard instead of Full size if picking picking up from Alamo from Orlando airport cause they don't have a standard isle, so they let you pick from the FS. Anyone know if this is true?

Yes, at least it was last August, and several previous trips before that. I'm sure if something changed we'd hear about it.

I've been checking Costco and carrentalsavers dot com pretty regularly and this morning, carrentalsavers is telling me my rental days are too far forward to book. Anybody else in August getting this?
