I’m looking for the best deal for car rentals in September when I go out to Vancouver, BC to visit my folks. I find car rentals to be on the expensive side in Vancouver, but to get around, it’s easier by car than by transit. I keep a little black book with coupon codes and promo codes by my computer and use it religiously whenever I book a car. Today, I started with Alamo and tentatively booked a car for $250 total for 5 days. Pretty expensive, eh? Even with Enterprise 50% off weekend rentals, the total came out to $258. I scanned the prices for Budget, National and Ace and found their rates to be more than what I was quoted by Alamo.

This afternoon, I researched another web offer and stumbled upon a code for Hertz. Usually, I stay away from using Hertz or Avis because I find their prices to be a lot higher for the average joe like me. But with a special code, I managed to get the total down to $223. The code I used was 1770665. It will save you 33% off the online rates.

Try it out wherever you need a car from Hertz. Hopefully, you won’t have to pay through the nose like me in Vancouver.
