Price check using the Web. Lots of these rental car companies even give better deals if you use their websites. Thrifty is generally really good on rates, and if you use an American Express to pay, you get a 10% discount. They also have some special rates for each city -- their other deals didn't work for me because I needed a van, but they did seem to have a bunch of deals on their cars. Also, there are several companies which have "coupon codes" -- I think Budget might be the best right now for that, the only reason I didn't use them was I got a better rate at Thrifty for the van, and I wasn't sure if the van they have would do the however, if you're going to use an economy car, they have 2 coupon codes available right now --- one gives 25% off the rental I think, and there's another discount available. Go to Budget.com, click on the "deals" button. Enterprise also had some deals going on -- you might want to check their sites. There is another site that seemed to be up on their "coupons" and discounts, and I got a lot of useful information from them -- www.rentalcarmomma.com A lot of these car rental companies (especially budget) are favorable about this site, and have a whole host of coupon codes listed. Remember that on any of these car rental places (hotels too!), you should also check to see if they have a rewards program -- most do. Sign up, these programs don't cost anything normally (and I wouldn't sign up if it cost) -- Even if you use their program once a year, to say, add miles to your airline mileage plan, every point/mile counts!
