I don't know how I got such a good rate for the Midsize SUV for the start of the summer vacation 2013, but at this point I will certainly keep the reservation and put on the charm to get the car early.
I'm perplexed about why you are asking this question now ... at least eight/nine months before you pick up the vehicle?
Airline flight schedules change a lot. Airlines haven't loaded their summer 2013 schedules yet. Doubtless you will likely have a number of changes between now and then. I wouldn't think/worry about it until a week or two before you trip.
