Car Rental Rates

[Luanne]

Just booked through Costco.

Two weeks on Maui in March, intermediate car with Alamo, $353.10 total.

Alamo's intermediate is a Toyota Corolla, or similar, which seems small to me?????

Sorry, thought I said. It was with Alamo. [I went back and edited my first post.]

Good job Luanne! Now, maybe try to lower out into the mid-$200's

Wouldn't that be nice. I will check again as it is closer, but I'm pretty pleased with the savings at this point. My original reservation with Avis was a little over $500 (and that was with a corporate rate), then I had a reservation, also with Alamo, through discounthawaii, for $475.

For our upcoming Nov 12-14 night trip to Kauai, we are currently at $560'ish. We will be disappointed to put it mildly if we do not at least lower that by 40% or more.

Wow that is a great rate. For late May to early June my Costco search shows an economy car from Alamo at $481 for two weeks (separately $233 for one week / $255 for the other week) in Maui. Are you doing something special on the Costco travel site to get that great rate?

I don't think so. I just put chose the car rental option, put in my location and dates and chose Alamo. The site came up with a few different promotions. I clicked on each of them to see which one would give me the best price. The search came back showing all car rental companies and different size cars. The Alamo price was the best one.

Just rebooked today with Costco for standard-size cars from Alamo. Oahu is $147 for May 19-26 and Maui for May 26-June 2 dropped to only $106. Last week missed a rate on Oahu for $133 before buying a Costco membership. The $106 for Maui is the best weekly rate I have seen anywhere.

That is a great rate!

I don't think I posted our Alamo experience on Maui here. First of all it seemed to take forever to get a shuttle from the airport to the rental car terminal. The plan was I'd get the luggage and dh would go get the car and come back and pick me up. I had the luggage way before he even got on a shuttle so we both went over to pick up the car. Since there had been so many people headed to Alamo I was worried about what kind of line we'd fine there. Well, Alamo has several kiosks in the rental building for use by those who have rented through Priceline, Hotwire and Costo. The terminals only say Priceline and Costco, but dh was told to use it. So, there was no line. It's all self serve and once you get your rental agreement printed out you head outside. There is someone there to meet you and walk you out to the cars. You have your choice of what is available. We had rented an intermediate/midsize and were able to upgrade to a full size at no extra cost. There was only one car the size we'd rented left on the lot when we got out there. We could have also upgraded to an SUV or convertible for an additional cost, which we declined.
