Any particular reason why they are going up? I have a reservation (midsize, we shall see whatever I can pick off from the EA/ES) this weekend but they were offering the last minute specials last week for this weekend.

I was there around 10AM. Took a Tahoe with FL plates from ES (wanted as big of a car as I could get), had most of the goodies except Navi and Satellite (I don't think it has satellite but I never look because I don't use it). 8100 miles but I rarely check the miles (I work at a car dealership, I can take any brand new card I want out for a spin almost anytime if I want that new car smell 
). ES had a very broad selection, even EA had a Tahoe (no idea the specs though, only saw it driving out from ES). I didn't see a Genesis or I would have taken that as I've yet to drive one.

I'm looking for a few weeks from now, and they're sitting at $65/day plus tax on the weekend (Thu AM-Sun PM). Insane.... it solidifies my decision to fly to BWI and pick up there and arrange my appointments for four days to work back towards Reagan, even though I lose the coupon it's only $35+/day.
