My wifes family is coming to visit soon, and we need to rent a van for 2 weeks. I am all over the net trying to find the best deal, but am having very little luck actually finding a good price.
Besides expedia, orbitz, etc. Does anyone know of any websites that offer good discounts on rental, and anywhere that I can find some coupons?
The lowest I have found so far is $700 for the 2 weeks. There has got to be something better than that out there!
last time i needed a rental, i went to www.priceline.com ... the whole transaction was smooth, and i got the car for $14/day for a compact car (step up from economy), and around here those go for 22.99/day... you might try it out. oh, and ignore when it tells you that your asking price has a "small" chance of being accepted- that's the message i always get on there... as long as you're not being ridiculously greedy, it ought to work... for example, if $700 is the best price, then $500 may be a reasonable offer. good luck and have fun with the inlaws LOL LOL
Go to www.biddingfortravel.com to get some info on how much to bid on priceline. The rental car info varies by city. Always have a backup reservation. Unfortunately for you, van and mini-van don't come cheap.
If you live in that city and if you pick from the airport, most rental companies will waive the airport/concession fee, only if you ask. If you haven't done so, check the prices on neighborhood locations, which can vary from airport pricing. ALWAYS compare AFTER tax-fees prices, not the daily/weekly rate only because taxes and fees can make huge difference.
