Convertible rental car prices!

Now that we know we're definitely keeping our rental car, a convertible , I've been checking other sites besides Alamo.com for rates. Seems like I've scored big time by renting thru alamo!! The base charge for the time that we need it is $164.99 whereas on avis.com, the convertibles will be over $400 and at hertz.com it's $289!! So, I guess I did get a great rate after all!

But it makes me wonder, if one company can charge so little, why can't the others??

Re: Convertible rental car prices!

That's a great price Wendy!! I have been looking at prices for renting a convertible in May as a surprise for my DD and have not seen anything even close to what you got. I plan to keep checking and hope I get lucky like you!

Every company is different. Alamo may be low today and high tomorrow.

Re: Convertible rental car prices!

I often have good luck with Alamo and National getting good rates. It seems to me that Avis and Hertz are always way more expensive. It doesn't make any sense to me either. I think WIllcad is right though - sometimes one is high and the other isn't.

A convertible? What fun! Does your DH know about this or are you going to surprise him with it?
