for example if you put 2 of the "2 class car upgrade" u can actually choose economy and get SUV or minivan or premium...depends on location

for some reason there website is all messed up and it shows so many different rates im confused. I booked the SUV for 90 bucks for 3 weekend days but it didnt work wen i called it in.

so i decided to play it safer and jus get a minvan with ONLY ONE coupon even though they dont allow minivan rentals using the two upgrade coupon. too bad thier stupid site let me and if they try to contest it, i have corporate contract ID, emerald club ID, AMEX who i will call and do something? about it. I have 7 people so I figured a van would be best.

Play around with thier site maybe you'll get a good deal. I would recocmend you not to put 2 of anything, but just one. That way they cannot contest it later. Also if you use the op's best code he lsits it, underage fee is only 10/day rahter than 25-35/day..

If you put in the 10009262 coupon code with a choice of your other contract ID (use the one lsited as "best") then pick premium car and it will automatically upgrade you to convertible...donno about the price differences though. Additional drivers are free if you jsu sign up for emerald club like right now and get a number cause spouses in immediate families are free.

No printout needed. Make sure by asking when you confirm. If a printout is needed, there is a one car upgrade printable coupon in the post.

Contract ID 6600330 is from Priceless Vacations. Pretty good rates.

You can print out the upgrade coupons from the links listed in the post. As far as the double upgrade, I used it in June with no problem at Orange County.

Best to ask what is needed when confirming your reservation. I always do that with the local National to see what type of cars they have available for my trip.

BTW, if you get better deals eslewhere share them with the group. Please.

Got an Intermediate rental for 2 days over the weekend.
Total price of $34

Very good deal!

irobot said:Just a word of warning. Got a call a few minutes ago from their TUS office infoming me that I would need to bring in the upgrade coupon before they would honor it. They said when they pull up the number, the screen tells them its a paper coupon. If it does, they ask for it when you come in. Wasn't worth the trouble for me. I cancelled. Without that, I can get a better rate through Alamo. YMMV.
Believe me! They WILL and DO REQUIRE a coupon- I speak from experience. When you enter in your reservation online it will accept the codes and allow the discount, BUT when you are at the counter they REQUIRE the actual coupon in order to get the discount. The coupon is just like cash to the rental office. So without the coupon when you get to the counter you end up paying their regular price, which is no deal at all.

I used Contract ID Code for NACDA/6402639 and got almost 50% saving on a SUV in Orlando. Since I do not belong to NACDA or know of any NACDA convention in orlando at the time I shall be there, what are the chances that they would ask for proof of my affiliation to NACDA?
Has anyone had any experience about being asked to provide any proof for the contract id affiliation? Is it safe to use?

Thanx in advance.

BTW Green for you OP. Great post/thread.

EDIT on Nov.5th:

I completed my trip. Since I had the emerald club membership, went directly to the Aisles/parking lot bypassing the counter compeletly at Orlando airport. Picked my SUV, loaded the family up and drove to the counter and handed my driving license, a copy of the email (which does NOT include the contract ID, as opposed to the printout taken from National site) and my credit card to the lady at the counter. She did not bat an eyelid at my huge discount and waved my thru in 2 minutes.

NO proof of affiliation asked for by them or provided by me (since I had none)
