MilesBuzz! - A Nice Deal From Dollar

I sure wish FT would get an official forum for these guys. Never-the-less itsa $109.99/wk anywhere in the USA (but only at participating locations) and here is how to book:

1- Use the Expedia web site www.expedia.com (http://www.expedia.com) and go to the car rental page.

2- Enter your rental information, such as the dates you need the car and your pick-up location.

3- Click Verify Rate and Continue on your car choice and then proceed through your traveler preferences.

4- In the Select A Rate option, click Special or Advertised Rate, and enter EXCC1 in the Rate Code box.

Your reservation will be confirmed at the discounted rate ($109.99/wk) after you complete your reservation. And you get miles too. Good luck.

Mister Nice:

What car class(es) can you get on this deal? Geographic restrictions?

Thanks.

Thanks for posting, but...

I had a hell of a time with this "special" about 2 weeks ago.

The problem is that you have to confirm a higher rate, in my cas almost $300 for a Ford Escort, before it allegedly gives you the lower rate.

One problem, it never gave me that rate. I spent about 2 hours tryting to get rid of this $300 reservation. The explanation I got was that it was "subject to availability". O.k. Well, shouldn't I be able to see the rate I want before I confirm it?

This was a huge debacle for me when I tried it. Good luck.

The rate is for a compact car, and I had absolutely no problem booking it. My best guess the NYC locations etc are excluded as usual as well as any large convention locations.

Unfortunately, it didn't work for me for a rental in SEA.

I agree with MisterNice about adding a Dollar forum on FT. We rented with Dollar not long ago, (at FLL airport), and had fast service both at check-in and check-out, got a new car (1,000 miles), and fast response to my e-mailed question from their customer service department. And no long line-ups at the terminal, as the "big boys" had. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
