If that's the per person price, Continental.com has tickets under $300 pp for those dates.

Does Budget offer any codes that get you a discount and waive the under 25 fee? I'm having hella trouble trying to find a small SUV for me and my wife for 3 weeks at Christmas time that doesn't charge a fee for being under 25. We're both 24 1/2 and refuse to pay $25 extra a day because of it. Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks! I joined the Emerald Aisle. I will also make a reservation for a one way rental from Orlando to Daytona Beach to make sure I am not stranded. I found that it is cheaper to do a one way rental from Daytona Beach to Orlando during my trip then doing roundtrip from Orlando.

I'm looking for a rental from MCO (Orlando) 12/17-26/2007. The best mid-size car I can find is from Alamo for $266.55 using contract ID 7013843 and one-day off coupon AF1609EOM. Any help on a better deal is appreciated!

BEST BETS for MCO/TPA cars:

Check out Mousesavers.com. Then go to Disboards.com and visit the Transportation area.

Hundreds of people with the same itineraries- and lots of other good advice too.

Hi Goye,
I saw that you had some problems with Travature. I don't want to be spammy, but just was hoping I could narrow down the "bait and switch" issue, since I work at Travature. We basically are Google for Travel, meaning we just do the search, and we make NO money off the airfare in anyway. To my knowledge we are the only ones of the metasearch bunch that doesn't make money off the search or the booking, so there really isn't much purpose to a "bait and switch" move for us (like you were assuming). All we do is literally presearch with a robot, the same process on travel websites that you would do yourself.

So that said, I'm assuming the Continental JAX to SAT price you saw was the difference continental.com was charging between one passenger and two (one passenger gets one fare and the other another), and something you would have seen if you did the 1 passenger versus 2 passenger search on continental.com directly. This actually happens quite a lot in the travel industry, because they will set aside a fixed number of tickets at a given price range, so if 10 tickets are sold at price X and 9 already sold, then if you buy 1 ticket you'll get price X, but if you buy 2 tickets, one of your tickets will be price X and the other Y. Yes, its LAME. I went to Cabo San Lucas a few months ago with my wife for our anniversary. I went to Travature and found the best price through USair.com. So when I went to book, I was only able to get one ticket at 189.00 and the other ticket i had to pay 220 for. A total bummer.

Oh and finally, I would assume your coupon code works, since we dont do anything special during a search. The only thing I could think that would prevent it, is if a webfare on the airline would not be compatible with the coupon code, but I don't see why that would be the case.

Enjoy your travels.

How do you go about changing your contract id on your Emerald Club account? Says to see your corporate travel agent.

Is it ok to be signed up with one contract id and use another to book your reservation?

I do it all the time. You should be able to just erase the Emerald number and insert the one you want... unless something has changed.

I have actually forgotten at times to go thru my EA account but just showed my card and res at the kiosk on the way out.

there seems no option for me to change it...it says

"For Contract ID changes, please contact your Corporate Travel Manager if applicable."

What I meant was....do I have to change the one I signed up with in my Emerald account

Yes...I was wondering if I needed to change my profile...as I wondered if they would think it weird I had one contract number in my profile and rented the car with another

also...unless anyone has experience otherwise....I was thinking the best rate for a mini-van would be using the GA code 5004625?

Have there ever been coupon codes for free child seats? *L* Only thing that sucks....costs me $100 extra for 5 days (need 2 of them)

Hey Jal.....i just saw your response to me......

Okay......without getting into the weeds.....

Maybe you could allow prospective customers of your free search engine the opportunity to pre set their own parameters, ie; # of tickets, # of stops, etc,etc before doing any searching to reduce the time one has to spend rifling thru the majority of things I think most people arent interested in.....

When was the last time anyone volunteeringly pre selected a flight plan schedule with 2+ connections?

I mean really, do people really opt to have a 2+ or more hour layover in any airport (except LV) voluntarily?

I paid the difference of only 16.00 for 2 people to go from a one stop, one hour delay to non stop flight. 16.00 is almost a cheap airport lunch, isnt it?

If I or anyone is looking / needs for 2 tickets for a flight.....isnt it wasting our time to show us anything for only one ticket?

Another topic:.....Alamo ID 7013843 and Coupon AF1609EOM joined together....do I need to bring anything when i use these codes when I go pick up the car?

Again thanks goye

Your completely right goye.
We need to be able to take in multiple passengers on the search,# of stops, as well as a couple other cool things (such as open jaw searches, nearest airport searches, etc, etc). Our development guys should have that stuff done in the January time frame. Right now our small team is focused on getting hotels going (releasing in a couple of weeks).

The only other thing I'd add is that occasionally, there is a need to showing 2+ layovers. One of our guys was in South Africa this summer, and at the city where he went you could ONLY get there with 3 layovers. Of course, thats not usual, but it does happen.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback!

I just saved a lot with Avis using U405347 AWD. This code is wonderful and includes LDW.

This is a worthless AWD,Doubles rate nor does it include LDW.

I think you are full of it. AWD does not raise price at all. Where does it doubles the rate? Prove it.

What the heck are you talking about? Avis U405347 AWD dropped the price from $297 to $268 using your location and time. Overall a saving of $35 after tax, on top of that free LDW insurance. Make sure you select lowest rate at second page.

Hey guys,

Thanks!

I am trying to book for a small car for Dec-15 to Dec-16 one-way Detroit, MI to Columbus, OH. I am new in this rental car game, I almost spinning around in this forum for more than 2-days now. I have Hertz #1 Gold and National Emerald also.

The best I could get is $80+tax etc? through National. Can some one help me with finding a better price?
