Renting a car over the weekend? Get it for $10 a day
Been searching for a car rental deal for your escape away from your iced in snow cave? You're in luck. Browsing the the halls of our friend Gary Leff's View from the Wing blog, we recently found an outstanding deal from Alamo Car rental for weekend bookings through February 28th.All that you need to do us use corporate code 7015238 when you punch in your booking and voila, your rate will drop to $10.
Checking an upcoming trip to Nevada for Trouble in Vegas, we pulled up some pretty boss prices. Arriving Friday night through a Sunday night departure, our car rental is projected to cost $36, with tax, surcharges and fees all included. That's the equivalent of 7 seconds at a Bellagio blackjack table.
There's a four day maximum to rentals and a Saturday night stay is required, but both of those criterion should be easy for weekend jetsetters. Just pack light (your car is going to be comically small) and say thanks to Gary on your way out.

Funny. I went on the site and got the $10/day quote, along with a $70 "Extra - Time & Distance" charge, for a 3 day total of $100+.

Way to get my hopes up. Lowest rate in NYC for Thursday-Mon is $270 and shoots up from there.

Obviously rates will vary by city with the most expensive markets (ie, New York) more expensive. Here's a screenshot to show the Vegas rate:

CORRECTION... Special only runs through Feb 8th, not 28th.

The promotion is good for a maximum of 4 days and those days have to be Thursday through Monday. You are getting the $70 charge because you are trying to get the car on Wednesday or Tuesday. I just booked it and figured that out.

I just booked a car in Seattle from Jan 21 - 24 for $50 ($10 a day for three days and $20 in taxes and such). Soooooo happy!

It's a shame that there are so many restrictions to this deal. I would love to get a car for only $10 a day! There are other deals out there, though...like the Jet and Drive Giveaway, which I've been supporting on behalf of JetBlue and Hertz. You can get $25 certificate back after booking a flight and car with the two. Any way to save a buck, right?
