Car rental alert


Recommended Posts

In January I booked a car rental through the big box website. 3 Days, PU FLL and drop off MIA. Cost was

$144.69. Yesterday did it again, same website, same rental company, same dates- new price $87.43. Didn't realize price could change by so much.

Oh, yes! They can change by the hour, even. Sometimes up, sometimes down, sometimes by over 50%. Whenever I book a car with anyone, I always check back several times.....you'll never know what you'll find. If I find a cheaper price, I book it and cancel my first reservation (without penalty).

It is discussed here frequently on the various ports boards. We always make a point to check our car rentals 3-5 weeks in front of the pick up date. About 2/3s of the time we get a price drop, probably averages in the 25% range.

 

Conversely, this reminded me to check our Munich rental coming up in 3 weeks. Hasn't changed a penny.
