chicaholic4ever Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 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? Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 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?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

chicaholic4ever Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 At Expedia the rates are $85 to $96 per day. We are 7 so we need a minivan. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 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?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

chicaholic4ever Posted March 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 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. Link to comment

thereuare Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 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.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know what you ultimately decide to do for this rental.
