Best time to reserve-a month before or a week before?

Been watching the rental prices for the past 6 weeks. I will be renting a car for 2 weeks in the West Palm Beach area in mid October. September prices were very good but as soon as I viewed October the prices jumped significantly.

As it gets closer to the fly date it seems the prices have lowered a bit but still not as good as the September values.

I am planning to wait perhaps till the week before I fly but is this a good idea?
Any suggestions to getting a good price now?
Would one get a better price if one called Dollar direct and reserved?
