    My rate hasn't budged from the $243 I booked with Dollar at Thanksgiving weekend sale. My dates must still fall under holiday time? Not sure? My dates are January 7-18. I'm a scant 9 days out. I'll keep checking but I think this might be my best rate. Good luck everyone.

    Can anyone share your codes you are using with Alamo (Costco codes?). I have the Visa holder discount rate but it is still over $60 more than my Dollar rate. Thanks. My cheapest rate was the extended Thanksgiving holiday sale through Dollar.

    I have booked through National, Alamo, Budget and Dollar at MCO. I haven't ever had a really bad experience with any of them. They have different loyalty programs and I've signed up with all of them just to avoid the lines inside the airport. To some degree I don't understand the loyalty to...

    What happens if you get to the parking lot before it opens?

    Heard it from a friend who......heard it from a friend. They leave a few lanes open all night so if they get there really early they would get in for free. Auto plaza usually starts charging around 7 depending what time the park opens and what events are going on. 7 is not a concrete time.

    Yes, Dollar Express is very easy. Go out to the car rental door, cross walk way, turn left, find the Dollar Kiosk (they share it with ???? Budget or some other rental agency), show them ID, payment etc and they will show you to the row of cars to choose from. Hope that helps.

    Yes to MCO. I can't imagine leaving the airport without a rental out of sheer convenience. My daughter has always relied on me having my own transportation while I am visiting her in Clermont. Doing WDW free is worth the price of a rental! 🇨🇦 🚗❤

    Trying to decide on jumping to using Autoslash. Sounds straight forward. Would save me another $20 or so, but have never used them. My quote was also with Dollar. What are some of the fine print pros and cons?

    McMonsters: On the Dollar home page you can either fill in the fields on the left or click "see specials" further right. This brought me to a "managers special" page and then I filled in my information with my AAA code: 3000049 in the corporate, not the promo box. Hope that helped.
