February Car Rental prices

[bnoble]

I think it's more likely that the Orlando-area agencies have been even more adept at reducing their fleet size than they needed to be in the face of declining inbound flights.

Wow, I really don't know what's up with car rental rates. I decided to run a Hotwire search for what I think is a really off-season week in Orlando, 05/02 to 05/09, and the economy car rates start at $24.95 = $239.76 for the week. Good grief! Don't they know we're in a recession? You'd think they'd be offering bargains to get people to travel. ?????

May is way too far ahead ! In my experience and depending on location Hotwire offers some good rates about 3 weeks ahead. I needed a car in LVegas for two weeks last November and checked with Hotwire at least ten times. They were noncompetitive and I ended up getting a good deal with Fox Rent-a-car. Too bad they don't offer service in Florida.

Now I have been checking Hotwire for two weeks in Orlando starting last week of January. So far they remain noncompetitive. I already booked with Alamo but could cancel if Hotwire offers something cheaper.
