Thanks for the info, maybe prices will start coming down a bit soon. Try also using ID code 7014627, it is a Costco code that seems to bring up slightly lower base rates for me. Fortunately I made my confirmed reservation a couple weeks ago; mid size for $160, standard size for $169 (including all taxes, etc.). For the past week the prices have skyrocketed to well over $100 more for the same cars using the same codes. Glad I have mine locked in. I am still hopeful that the rates will go down before our departure on 12/7.
