Discount codes for Dolllar, Alamo etc.

Book directly on the PayLess website - $170 right now for an intermediate. Join the perks club and save about $10 on that.....
Sorry Diane. I just looked again at the book. It should be X443000.

I guess I should have put my glasses on before I typed that one in.
Thanks for your help. Seems all the budget and national codes want a sat. night. We are booking Sun to Fri. The 35 % off Avis did work, however my Dollar Reservation is a little cheaper. Looks like my $195.00 rate is the best I am going to get. We have never paid more than $130.00 for the same time frame, and that was just last year. Things just keep going up and up.
Melonhead. Thanks for your reply. We booked Payless one time and never again. We stood at the counter for 45 minutes trying to get the price down to what our conformation said. They tried to have us sign a contract that was $75.00 more than our reservation. Then when we got to the garage we waited another 45 minutes. It was like the 1st agent sent a message to the garage person to screw with these people, as many people after us got a car well before we did. It was not a good way to start a trip. I hope your reservation goes better.

Sorry you had a bad experience with PayLess - I've never had any problems with them. I always have a copy of my rental agreement and hold them to that price. They don't even bother trying to up-sell me any more. But I do like Dollar more these days because with Express membership I can just head straight to the garage and grab my car instead of standing in line. Safe travels and good luck!

melonhead Maybe we just had a bad agent, or lets pull a fast one on these senior citizens. We did have the print out and we still had so much trouble.

This sounds to me like it might be the rotten (and I think not legal) practice called "Bait And Switch."

What that means is that you are "baited" in with one price but when you get there, it is gone or has been changed to a higher amount.
Wow. Now that my trip is 2 weeks away, Dollar has come way down without any codes. Using the City Special, it is down to $146.00 for a 5 day rental on a mid size car. Sweet!!

Perfect! Have a great trip.

Thanks, now if only the weather will co operate. Coming from the Midwest, we would love to see some temps in the 60's.
