Omgoodness, these prices are crazy! This morning I booked an intermediate size car for $225 that same car is now $529! WTH?
Was that through Costco?
Yes that was via Costco website but it was the same increase via Budget website. Crazy!
I just checked and there seems to be good prices for some of you in Mid/Late August if you pick up at Disney Car Care and drop off at MCO. Examples: pick up at Disney Car Care on the 17th at 10 am, drop off at MCO on the 23rd at 2 pm. Cost (total including extra driver/taxes/fees) = $207.95 for an intermediate suv. $296 for a Fullsize SUV (seats 7). Forget minivans - much less to rent and return to the airport.
You might want to run this scenario for your dates. On the Costco Travel site.
I tried to input that scenario into the costco site and it won't work. So I tried to run a rental from mco to mco (like I've done 1000 times in the last 6 months lol) and it won't work either! Anyone else having issues with the costco site this morning?
Ok I got it to work and for 11 days pickup at Disney Car Center and drop off at MCO a standard car was $895. Not exactly a great deal.
I just booked through Costco last night, $274 for an intermediate with Alamo, Aug 23-30. That's down from what it was a week or so ago. USAA is still over $300 for that time, and its cheapest ones are with Budget.
We are still at $444 for a full sized van for 10 days. After exchange that will be over $600 for us. Yuck.
I'm not too worried and believe it will come down. I also have the option of just renting a van for seven days and returning when we take some of our party back to the airport. Then those of us staying for another 3 days could rent something smaller for the weekend or use Uber to and from Universal. So I will get it lower somehow. We're 56 days out. Some years I got my best rates at 6 weeks out. The last several trips it seems it gets lower really close to the trip.. so I'm still hopedul.
