we are going in september and booked through dollar. The regular rate on the website we are getting for a dodge neon is $97+tax. We find that just watching the websites every few days you can get a much lower rate. They seem to change daily. It's gone down $40 for the week since we started watching two months ago. We just make a reservation and cancel it if the price goes down.

Dodge Neon is a little small for me. The cars are getting smaller and smaller and America seems to be getting taller and taller. Soon, if you are 6 feet or over, you will have to have a truck or a luxury car to keep your knees from hitting the sterring wheel!

I have to be cautious on the cars I rent. Pretty safe bet that if it has a middle console, my knee will sit right against the squared edge of it redering me crippled for 20 minutes after getting out! :lol:

Checked into the possibility of extending our stay by one day. Need to rent from National or Alamo-so went in and changed our dates-Our $ went up by $75.00 today-funny thing is there is usually a $ difference between Alamo and National but today, with codes and coupons both came out to exactly the same $ to the penny.

Hi there!!!!
Did you modify or did you try an entirely new reservation? since I am obsessed, lol, I check daily and it is the same today as it was yesterday. Modifying usually makes the rate go up, who knows why, try a new reservation.

Looking for some advise! Here's my dilemma.

I currently have a rental for October for $320.00 (conv. 8 days, usings codes and coupons) for National.
We want to extend our rental by one day and the rate goes up to $397.
I did also thought about keeping current ressie and adding one day on
a separate one total works out to $386. (better but not great). If I did
this, would I have to come back to the rental desk, do a return and then re-rent the same car for a day or do you think they would just carrying on the reservation for all 9 days.

I did the same for Alamo (since they share a desk at the Dolphin), Full 9
days works out to $397-but their one day rate comes down to $54.

So if I were to keep the 8 day $320 ressie with National and do a one day with Alamo, my total would be $374. Then I'm pretty sure I would have to do a return and a re-rent since I'm changing companies (sort of).

Anyone have any experience/advice on this?
