creomedia Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I am looking to book a car from my trip to Hawaii(Honolulu) Mar 1 -5 and not sure why but the car rentals are much more expensive than any other time. Any idea why? Should I wait to book this as prices may come down? Link to comment

creomedia Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Well ideally I would like to get a full size car or SUV because our daughter will be nine months at that time.Economy car is listed at 38.56 per dayCompact car is listed at 40.56 per dayFull size car is listed at 46.88 per dayMid size SUV is listed at 50.75 per day Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I suspect this may be near the beginning of college Spring Break season and that may be causing some seasonally higher rates as it's not these specific dates that are expensive but the while general timeframe for the weeks before and after.... what are you expecting to pay for a car rental for these dates?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

creomedia Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Well all the other dates are roughly $20-$25 per day so I was hoping for that. Link to comment
thereuare Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 What other dates did you search for... i tried 1week and 2weeks later and saw similar rates as you're currently seeing for March 1-5.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

creomedia Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Hmm it wasn't before but I see it is a similar price now.Unfortunately I guess this will be the price. I will wait and see if it drops closer to the date. Link to comment
