thereuare Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 To compare apples-to-apples with the above, what are the total charges?When searching your dates (noon-to-noon) i get an economy car for $28.92/day or $839.82/total.Do you see this rate thru hot.wre?

Chris04626 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Yes searching that i just got $28.92/day or $839.82/total. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Assuming you'd take the price above if unsuccessful with priceline, i'd first book the above thru HOTWIRE (which i believe is cancellable if thru the non-opaque results but doublecheck that this is the case, and please use our our HOTWIRE link) and then try to beat it thru priceline... trying a $23 bid to start.Any quesitons feel free to ask.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Chris04626 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Thanks, but im looking for way lower than 762 im thinking more like 500-550, Cant believe they upped the prices so much that quick Link to comment
Chris04626 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 tried that and it wasnt accepted Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Including taxes and fees, what does that work out to on a maximum bid basis? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Chris04626 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Taxes and fees it was like 550Ill just keep checking maybe they will lower the rates again. I can get one from BUDGET at an off airport one but it closes at 6pm and i dont get in till 530 pm so id have to stay the night there even though they have raised the off aiport one now from 420 to 462 before taxesWorst case scenario thats what i will have to doThey must be a high demand for them or something why there rasign the prices like that Link to comment

jetslt2 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hi Chris,I am also traveling to Orlando during one of the weeks you'll be there. The best car prices I've found are through Thrifty with the Orlando magicard code (available to anyone free through the internet). You type the code in the corporate code section - 004M001010. The rates for an economy for your dates (noon to noon) are $130/week with $26/day for the 2 extra days. This gives a GRAND TOTAL with all taxes of $544.15...which looks like it's the range you're looking at. It also provides a free additional driver, if needed.Thrifty's off-airport...but close...and it's probably worth the $300 to take the shuttle. :) Hope this helps you out! Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks for the post and the coupon code...We're also an affiliate of Thrifty :) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Chris04626 Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 WOW Thanks AlotToo bad they didnt let you use a promotion code to i could use my AAA and get another 5% off Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Check the Thrifty website for the location refered to above.I don't have time right now to look for you, but if they have a shuttle from the airport it's usually an "airport off site" location which are usually open well past 6pm... it sounds as if you're refering to more of a local, non-airport, rental location, which do often close earlier than airport (on-site and off-site) locations.
