DrMarci Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 Is this the approporiate place to discuss car rentals or is this just the hotel forum? Please direct me! I would like to rent a minivan and one full size car for the week. We are 6 adults and one infant. Any bidding suggestions? (the prices listed on Hotwire are 56$/day for the van and 38$/day for the car). Thanks! :)

DrMarci Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Posted September 23, 2005 305$ seems to be the cheapest for a full size car for the week. My parents are concerned with using hotwire in a foreign country, especially in Mexico. I'll read thru some postings, but do you know of successful rentals in Mexico (where people haven't encountered problems)?
thereuare Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 I'm not sure of their concern... i'm not aware of any 'foreign country' specific problems. Once a car rental is purchase and the issuing company known, they can call and confirm that their reservation is in the system and take care of any issues (although i doubt there will be any) before they leave.

DrMarci Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Posted September 28, 2005 I know...you are right. so, any suggested strategies for getting a mid sized for less than 300$? Ideally 200$ with unlimited mileage.
thereuare Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 I'm doubtful you'll be successful near your target amount of $200, but do the math and back-out the taxes and fees and try to beat your best deal.Hotwire comes in at about $335.Are you putting 6 adults and an infant in one mid-size car?!?!

DrMarci Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Posted June 20, 2006 Sorry for the looong delay! In the end, my parents weren't comfortable with using the internet. We ended up renting directly from Dollar (they have a pick-up location right at the airport). We rented one compact and one mid-size car for 7 days for a total of about $500.
