Hi,

While on the topic, I am flying into MIA and need a car rental. My dates are 1/23-1/29, I am looking for a full size or if the price is right a standard suv. I also found carrentals.com the cheapest with Fox or Sixt, both showing a full size of $133 total. (there is a 15% off coupon for sixt)

If anyone knows where I can get a better price, tried priceline and they were way to high.

Thank You,

Tzvi

Yes, RT, but for the full size it's $269, double what sixt and fox has, but thanks.

Full size came to over 250 before coupon. Not too bad, but not 208. What do you know about these other places Fox and Advantage?
I don't know what your doing wrong but i just tried it again and i got 208

OK. I guess Advantage is out. Now I'm nervous about Fox and Sixt. I don't want to find out there are no cars. National wasn't too bad with the code you guys recommended, though I don't remember which one. I tried the AVIS again, but not 208??? Enterprise wasn't too bad with the Chabad number. I'm going to have to check all three out again.
Does anyone know if you cancel with any of the above and they have your credit card on file, will they cahrge you for cancelling?

When you say PC, does that mean Hertz? This number works there too? I'm waiting for my match.

pm me your info and I'll do it for you. No company will charge you if you cancel your reservation or even don't show up unless you prepay your reservation.

avis will do that too if you're preferred. But if you don't show up the hold will fall off

I booked a reservation using hertz points (still paying $85 after taxes) and the points deducted when I booked the car 2+ weeks before travel...
Most other companies will not charge to cancel

Okay, does anyone know if it's free to become an emerald member. Are there any risks signing up?

Free. Risks? Nope.
And you can SM jj1000 to hook you up with some status I believe.

Okay thank you sky121, I appreciate that.

Does anyone know if the free upgrade is guaranteed, if I order a full size will I be able to get a standard SUV, (which I think is the next level)?

When I put in my dates the total came out to be $157 which is more then fox and sixt, but if I can get the free upgrade it's worth it.

Thanks

P.S. Someone mentioned before that national is not trustworthy and a lot of times doesn't have cars, my flight gets into MIA about 10:30pm, and I am traveling with two kids so the last thing I need is to not have a car available.
