Using RCI for car rental

[Polly Metallic]

I tried using autoslash, but rates are still pretty high for 2/3-2/17 so I didn't book anything yet. On a lark, I tried the RCI travel site and came up with a cheaper price. It shows tax at 0 so maybe it's already included in the daily rate. Do any of you ever use RCI or II for car rentals?

There have been some previous posts on this. Double check but I "think" I remember seeing that if you rent though RCI you have to pre-pay. What I don't remember is if you can cancel without penalty or not.

I decided to go a little farther in the process, and you're right, it does appear that payment is due at booking. I'll see if I can find any old threads on this subject that tell cancellation policies. The difference in price was $412 vs. $462, but something even cheaper may turn up, so I'd hate to be locked in.

I have used RCI points for car rentals, Points used includes all taxes and fees or can be used for partial payment.

I think if Platinum you can use 50% annual points allotment for car rentals

Here is the thread I remembered about RCI car rentals. It seems to depend on whether you use points or weeks to book the car.
