My thrifty went down a tad today. 12/15-12/19 compact $128. No codes, but I clicked on hot deals.
There's no standard aisle at MCO? If not, what section should I be looking in?There are lots of reports of people getting vans in the full size aisle at MCO lately. I have booked a standard car (no aisle at MCO) and we plan to go check the aisle prior to going to the front desk and seeing if there is vans in that aisle. If so I will take the cheaper of my reservations. I have a van reserved for $225 for Dec 7th to Dec 14th. So for us we will go with what ever is cheaper. I also get a free additional driver because I book through Costco. Costco prices have been better than any I have found.

Do you have to be a Costco member to use their discount? I know you don't have to use the Bjs car rental.
I would think so, yes. We only recently got a Costco locally so I was happy to be able to finally use that code. I know that when I made the reservation on Alamo I had to enter my Costco membership number. YMMV

Ok, no Costco near me. I could ask one of my friends for their number but I'm sure it has to match up with the renters name.
Sorry to be snarky, but I pay for that discount and you do not. I don’t think it’s right for you to use the Costco code unless you are a Costco member.Ok, no Costco near me. I could ask one of my friends for their number but I'm sure it has to match up with the renters name.
agreed. And you can;t make a res. without the number.Sorry to be snarky, but I pay for that discount and you do not. I don’t think it’s right for you to use the Costco code unless you are a Costco member.
what code?Just booked Alamo compact for $124 for 6 days in early December. Coscto contract + discount code mentioned earlier in the thread.

In my mind it’s not the same at all. The car discounts are for members. Shopping with friends is advertising for Costco.I pay for that discount too and I don't mind at all. If she had a Costco near here and could use it I am sure she would but since she doesn't have one near hear it makes zero sense for her to get one. I am sure almost every single person who has a Costco card at one time or another bought something for someone or took there friend or family member to Costco to buy stuff. I say the more people who can benefit for the thousands of dollars I spend at Costco a year for my $120 membership the better. Just my thought.
We use Alamo, with the Costco code, and a coupon (AD2365FDN). Dec 9-24, would like a minivan, but booked a mid and std SUV. Std is over $700 for 16 days ($44 per day). Mid-SUV is $625. Very high, but wanted to get "something" and will rebook as prices come down (hopefully).
what code?

No problem, I was thinking "out loud." I have a BJS membership, however, anyone can purchase Disney card through them at the discount and anyone can book car rental through their site. I booked through them recently and I was never asked for my membership number. I was simply wondering if Costco was similar.
I'm not certain how it works with Alamo and what, if anything, Costco pays but I think it's more likely to be a promotion offered by Alamo. Marketing thru large travel sites.
The Costco contract ID is posted on every one of these monthly car rental discount threads. No membership number required. One can use it directly on the Alamo site although I've noticed the pricing is a bit different compared to directly with the Costco site in the past year or two. It used to be identical. But on the Alamo website you can then use it conjunction with a coupon which usually gets the cost lower than directly thru the Costco travel site.
