Discount Code for YVR Labor Day weekend
Have searched extensively using all codes found on this forum. Cheapest rate for a minivan in YVR Sept 4 - 7th is $59.95 / day. The most any code takes off that is $5!
I find this unusual - anyone have recent codes that work?
Thanks!

You think $59.95 is expensive on a long weekend in Vancouver for a minivan????? I'd suggest you book because I'm sure they havent gotten around to updating their system yet. Avg price on Minivans for most companies in the summer on long weekends is around $100/day mark, if you can get availability.

I agree with rentalguy. $50-70 /day seems to be about average for a minivan off peak. At the beginning of the summer Enterprise gave me a one-day weekend rental of a minivan for $45/day. I have a reservation with Avis for a minivan for the middle of the week towards the end of August for $53/day. If you wait, the prices jump up, or you won't be able to get one at any price. The few exceptions may be Hotwire at a small airport for $130/day or Rent a Wreck for $150/day.

On a long weekend at YVR $59.95 is a good price for a Suzuki Swift, let alone a minivan!

I looked at Travelocity and Expedia yesterday and everyone was in the $100/day range for a minivan, which the exception of Budget which was at 59. Avis their sister company was $93. Today Budget has raised the rates to $77, so if you havent already booked, your price just went up $20/day. I'm sure they will be up to $100/day in the next day or so.
