try Alamo
Vegas Brazil LLc code 7016427
We've found our best pricing this route.

My price went down about $20 with the Vegas Brazil code. It also includes CDW coverage now... Not sure if thats a good thing or bad.

Odd because mine doesn't include CWD coverage using the code..maybe cause i'm not a resident of the USA?

Did you try a new reservation? My original one did not include it. I tried again yesterday and it included the insurance and an additional driver.

I stand corrected... I just looked at the one I did yesterday. (Rate came in a few $'s lower so I rebooked) and it DOES have it on it!

Sooo what does "CDW-allocated inclusive" mean anyways?

We normally bypass the insurance as our Auto policy & Visa coverers rentals cars.

Booked in August a compact through Costco for $120 for the 3rd week of May and since then rate have only risen to be almost double that currently. Will wait and watch for when they start to fall.

I'm surprised there isn't more May car rental chatter yet. I guess I will give this a bump and see if anyone had found anything good. The best price I am seeing right now is booking through my Visa rewards points. I could get a STD car for 10 days for $230 with Alamo. The best part is that is in Canadian. Exchange is terrible right now, so paying in Cdn helps. I can't find anything that low in USD anyway. Once I use my $90 in Visa points I would pay $140 for the rental.

My only hesitation is that after renting cars in orlando for years, I know better than to prepay. A better rate usually comes along. Then again, car rentals haven't seemed to follow their typical patterns on our last couple of trips, and our exchange rate is so bad right now that I'm probably better off to take what I can live with. However, we're still four months out at this point.

Nothing good here. My best is still the Vegas Brazil code. I'm hoping something else comes a long.

No luck with my rental. I need one for 2 weeks everything still around 400 or more

 

[hardis5]

Holding onto my reservation made in August as prices still way higher then back then and surprised they have not started to fall more yet.

 

[bluefunnel]

Currently sitting at $283 for a compact for 4/30-5/14 through Alamo. I used the Brazil code and a coupon code for $15 off(AD9Z14AAH).

Hoping to see some more coupon codes drop after the new year.

Well now I've gone and done it. We invited my inlaws to join us which is not a problem, but we all know that means the dreaded minivan rental hunt
We are staying at Bonnet Creek so it would actually be preferable to rent two cars so we can split up for different activities. I think I need to push that option because it makes more sense. They can rent theirs and we'll rent ours.

We have a mid size for 5/19-26 for $267 at Dollar. I am still watching rates though.

 

[keepswimming76]

Well I just tried with my AAA membership and got a full-size for $243 for 5/19- 5/26 with Dollar. Saved me over $20 and it's a bigger car.
