It's been a frustrating experience to use Autoslash to search for a pick up at Sanford Int'l and drop off @ International drive around Seaworld. For example, thrifty has a location at the DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando (10100 International Dr. Orlando, FL 32821) and Hertz is at the Renaissance at SeaWorld (6677 Sea Harbor Drive Orlando, FL 32821). Nothing comes up on Autoslash for anything near these 2 addresses and defaults to MCO pickup and drop off.

Why doesn't Autoslash have Orlando car desks for touristy Orlando in its database? Orlando's I-Ride trolley website has a comprehensive listing, so it's not like the info is difficult to find.

Just wondering... rate was pretty high... and I have not started looking elsewhere yet.

Looks like the rate was reduced twice in late Feb. There's a very good chance it will drop further between now and June, so just sit tight and let the service do its thing. Rates often drop very close to the rental date, so it makes sense to be patient.

UH OH... I better go check my settings... have not seen any emails on reductions.... that was surprising me.

I had gotten messages a few times on our Hawaii trip.

Thanks for the info!

As per this message posted on our homepage, we're in the process of moving to a new model that we think will be even more useful to people that what we had previously. Until we get there, you can click on the tab on our homepage labeled 'Track a rental you've booked elsewhere' to let us know about any existing bookings you have (or any you make in the future), and we'll let you know if we find a better deal.

We appreciate everyone's support and patience. It's unfortunate that the car rental companies have taken such a heavy-handed approach to restrict the ability of consumers to take advantage of our services to get a good deal. While the rental companies are no longer committed to working with AutoSlash, AutoSlash is committed to doing right by it's customers. Stay tuned for further developments...

Thanks, the letter wasn't displaying for me. I figured something had to be wrong.

You know you must be doing something right when the rental companies dont want to work with you! :)

Cannot wait to see the new product!

Yup.

You really have nothing to lose by giving AutoSlash the opportunity to deliver you the best price.

Think about it: what's the worst that can happen? You make your own reservation, thinking you can do better that AutoSlash, and then hedge your bets by also making one through AutoSlash. Later, you forget about the reservation that AutoSlash made (and, likely, subsequently discounted) for you. Oh, well. This is a car reservation, which will cancel without penalty if you no-show, not a non-refundable airplane ticket the non-use of which will cost you dearly.

Now, if you're nice, you'll cancel whichever reservation doesn't suit your fancy (or your wallet) in sufficient advance time to not cause the rental car company to keep a car in a slot earmarked for you. But if you don't, you'll have lost nothing other than the few minutes it took you to enlist the assistance of AutoSlash at the outset.
