Need help to get a minivan Pick up FLL at 2pm on June 4 and drop off at MCO either June 7 or 8 at 9 pm. I have been trying for $25-35/day but no success yet. Any suggestions?

Rates look fairly high for these dates... what is the best rate you're able to find on a minivan for these dates thru conventional booking channels?

Would an SUV possibly work for your needs or do you specifically need a minivan?

At Expedia the rates are $85 to $96 per day. We are 7 so we need a minivan.

So your bids, during what appears to be high demand dates, are still well under half of a conventionally booked rental... how high are you willing to bid at this point in time?

As of now I can go high as $35 for June 4-7 MCO to FLL but no success. For Budget, if I use a code I could get it at $238 so I want to get something cheaper than that. What do you think?
Another option would be just rent for our full stay June 4-13 but I would just go as high as$25 since I see other people getting it for that price. Help pls.

What is this on a daily rate basis, before taxes and fees? Please note in our support page that we're an affiliate of Budget, please use our links there for your purchases/reservations.

Are these successful $25 bids for the same dates as yours? Are these also for one-way rentals?

From Budget: June 4-7 FLL to MCO
Daily Rate (4 x $45.00) $180.00
Subtotal: $180.00
Taxes and Fees: $58.78
Amount due at pick-up: $238.78

For the $25 other bids..different dates not same as mine.

What are the chances of me getting lower than $59 including tax?

You can/should try, but i think your chances of success are somewhat low due to the high demand for these dates, it's a one-way rental, and your need for a minivan.

Good luck and let us know what you ultimately decide to do for this rental.
