Cheapest Rate Quote ever

This is for a normal three day weekend, using standard EC code and coupon off national site.

Very nice! I think my record was $22 something for a 3 day weekend, and that included a free upgrade to a BMW 328i. At that price I hope you're booking every weekend through the rest of 1-2-F to capitalize.

I wouldn't expect a 328i at TUL though

I think they do let EEs select from PCARs on aisle reservations, though, so maybe a Maxima

Too bad about the $4/day flat rate facility charge.. if it were a % base it would be almost free.

If it were off airport and just had sales tax and rental car tax, the total would be $1.
Sad thing is I was originally using Hertz this weekend to dump my remaining points. Because Hertz has an energy surcharge, their free rental cost more than this National rental that earns credit and another 1 2free day.

Very nice. I had a 3-day Suburban rental for $36.34 last weekend at LAX and thought it couldn't go lower than that

You guys are lucky. Have never seen such rates at National in NYC area and that includes airports. Enterprise yes, but not National.

Dreams about $9.58 daily rates.

$20 is about as low as mine ever go.

I feel like I got a Fri-Sun rental for about $17 out of ATL one time. Nearly all of the cost was the airport fee.

Ended up with a brand new Acadia off the aisle, too.

I've gotten a $14 rental for 2 days driving from a local store in NJ to PBI during Florida drive-in season. Used a credit card reward to lower the base rate to 0 and only paid the taxes and fees.
