To Rent or not Rent a Car - Pressed Pennies 11/20/04

20:59:36 [LimeGreenC] Hey Suzy

20:59:39 [SuzyQ] Hey Cheri!

20:59:56 [LimeGreenC] how are you?

21:00:11 [SuzyQ] Just woke up from a nap so I'm a little groggy ;)

21:00:30 [SuzyQ] how was your weekend?

21:00:51 [LimeGreenC] me too, I'm exhausted, I didn't even get lunch today. I didn't sit down until 5pm

21:00:58 [LimeGreenC] it's extremely busy

21:01:17 [SuzyQ] Man - I hope you ate something!

21:01:40 [LimeGreenC] I would get thru with one round of treatments, get them charted and it was time to start all over again

21:01:50 [LimeGreenC] I ate on the run, a bit here and there

21:02:09 [SuzyQ] That DOES sound exhausting!

21:02:21 [LimeGreenC] and it's just starting

21:02:27 [SuzyQ] Youll be in DW in just a few more weeks!

21:02:46 [LimeGreenC] the flu season hasn't hit yet. I'm dreading that. I've just got to decide when I say "ok, enough is enough, time to call in some help

21:02:56 [LimeGreenC] thank goodnes! :)

21:03:29 [SuzyQ] I am trying to stay well and keep away from the flu the best I can,

21:03:37 [LimeGreenC] I just keep saying, I can get it done, I can get it done.

21:03:41 [SuzyQ] but it's a hard one to run from!

21:03:55 [SuzyQ] I hear ya - I do the same thing

21:04:12 [LimeGreenC] I got a flu shot, I didn't want to, but the "big wigs" said, if you don't get the shot, you better not call in sick. I decided not to chance it

21:04:14 [SuzyQ] Hello Andy!

21:04:16 [LimeGreenC] hey Andy

21:04:20 [AndyL] Hi There

21:04:30 [SuzyQ] Welcome to our Transportation Budget chat (haven't started yet)

21:04:31 [AndyL] how's it going?

21:04:42 [LimeGreenC] Have you had a good weekend Andy?

21:04:51 [SuzyQ] We're both tired :) :)

21:05:06 [LimeGreenC] yeah, we may travel fast. LOL

21:05:15 [AndyL] go to WDW that'll pick ya up ;)

21:05:22 [LimeGreenC] or better yet, somebody can drive and I'll sleep

21:05:29 [AndyL] pretty good thanks

21:05:30 [LimeGreenC] :D

21:06:12 [LimeGreenC] brb, must put the fear of god into the kids to stay in bed

21:06:20 [AndyL] okie

21:07:06 [AndyL] when's your next trip to WDW Susie?

21:07:24 [SuzyQ] We will be in wdw from Dec 9 - 13

21:07:56 [AndyL] good time of year. Doing Mousefest?

21:08:13 [SuzyQ] We "have been" getting a really great airfare deal with Alaska - nonstop for 215 from Seattle!

21:08:21 [SuzyQ] Yup - MOUSEFEST!

21:08:36 [AndyL] that's RT???

21:08:38 [LimeGreenC] ok, sorry

21:08:56 [SuzyQ] No problem - we're doing well over here ;)

21:09:02 [AndyL] wb Cheri

21:09:02 [LimeGreenC] wow, it's almost cheaper to fly from Seattle than Atlanta,

21:09:10 [SuzyQ] I was just mentioning the deal I got with Alaska

21:09:25 [SuzyQ] Shall I share my airfare tip?

21:09:40 [AndyL] Round trip or one way for $215?

21:09:50 [LimeGreenC] I found $156 RT from Atlanta, but decided, it was still cheaper to drive and only 2 extra hours, by the time you add in time to park, go thru security, get your bags etc.

21:09:56 [LimeGreenC] Sure Suzy

21:09:56 [SuzyQ] Round Trip :D

21:10:20 [AndyL] WOWZA some deal Suzt

21:10:25 [AndyL] Suzy

21:10:45 [SuzyQ] Most airlines will credit you $$ if the airfare goes down after you book . . .

21:10:49 [AndyL] yea makes more sense to drive Cheri

21:11:12 [SuzyQ] so, I usually book when I see it down fairly low (when I first booked, airfare was $250RT) .. .

21:12:00 [SuzyQ] I watch the airfares (I check at night sometimes and in the afternoon) - when it goes down, I call the airline and ask for a credit - I've gotten two from Alaska just for this trip!

21:12:02 [AndyL] yep but if you go thru a TA alot of them will charge a service fee that kiboshs the savings

21:12:50 [SuzyQ] Ya know - I haven't booked anything through a TA in a LONGGG time (except I used YMJ once for rooms a couple years back)

21:12:59 [LimeGreenC] so they credit your credit card or give you credit towards another trip:

21:13:14 [SuzyQ] They give you credit towards another trip

21:13:35 [LimeGreenC] I'm sooooo OCD that I like being in control, I hardly ever use a TA

21:13:36 [AndyL] tell me about it I book online my airfare direct with the airline

21:13:48 [LimeGreenC] what if you hardly ever fly?

21:13:53 [SuzyQ] Airlines do that so they aren't penalizing those who book early

21:14:21 [MikeS] Hi Tag people.

21:14:22 [LimeGreenC] Like how do you get those FF miles? Is that a free plan or a credit card or what?

21:14:25 [LimeGreenC] Hi Mike

21:14:52 [SuzyQ] Hello Mike! Welcome to our Transportation Budget chat!

21:14:54 [AndyL] hi Mike

21:15:09 [SuzyQ] FF miles usually come from a CC if not flying

21:15:15 [LimeGreenC] It's amazing to me that airfare from Atlanta to MCO is most times at least $200

21:15:41 [SuzyQ] Most airlines also offer ways to get more FF miles (say if you use a particular long distance service or car rentals)

21:15:50 [AndyL] Newark's not cheap either

21:16:03 [AndyL] they're both hubs

21:16:35 [SuzyQ] The Entertainment book also has a few coupons for airlines such as United

21:16:50 [LimeGreenC] I just don't fly enough to use any of those things. This past April was the first time I had flown since 1998, I was a nervous wreck

21:16:59 [AndyL] now there's an idea I never considered

21:17:06 [LimeGreenC] It seems like a hub would be cheaper to fly out of

21:17:33 [LimeGreenC] I didn't realize entertainment book had those kinds of coupons,

21:17:53 [LimeGreenC] <note to self>Look at EB next time I'm at Barnes and Noble

21:18:48 [LimeGreenC] even though the airfare was $156 for mousefest, I would still have had to pay for long term parking and transfers

21:19:02 [AndyL] I would think so too Cheri but I guess there's a lot of airline vying for a limited amount of flight slots so the airport charges a lot (between the slots and terminal rental fees)

21:19:03 [SuzyQ] Yeah - I just looked up airlines at: entertainment.com

21:19:08 [LimeGreenC] do you all that fly figure in your long term parking and transfers into your budget

21:19:19 [LimeGreenC] Hi drakethib

21:19:28 [AndyL] Hi Drake

21:19:31 [drakethib] Hi all

21:19:33 [SuzyQ] United has a $75 off (I think a flight of $150 or more)

21:20:00 [MikeS] I have one of those EB right here.

21:20:03 [LimeGreenC] that's a good deal Suzy

21:20:19 [SuzyQ] LGC: Yes, I always try to figure out if renting a car for our stay would be a better deal than transfers. transfers

21:20:43 [LimeGreenC] We're talking transportation budgets Drake

21:21:09 [SuzyQ] From EB book: "Discount Amount: Up to $75 off a qualifying roundtrip flight purchase of $150 or more at united.com; $25 off one roundtrip ticket of $ 150 - $299, $50 off one roundtrip ticket of $300 - $474, $75 off one roundtrip ticket of $475 or more."

21:21:20 [AndyL] hmm I wonder if http://www.currentcodes.com/ would have some deals in their travel area?

21:21:20 [MikeS] $75 off of a flight of $475 or more.

21:21:45 [LimeGreenC] I got a pretty good code for Emerald aisle last spring, but I decided I only needed a compact car, and man was it compact!

21:21:57 [drakethib] Ok. I will be watching. The wife and I will at Disney on Tuesday

21:22:34 [SuzyQ] This trip is only 5 days - so an economy rental is cheaper for us than RT transportation (I don't count mears since we don't like bussing it to disney)

21:22:56 [SuzyQ] We are paying $107 for five days (incl tax) with Avis

21:22:57 [LimeGreenC] How cool drake, are you driving or flying?

21:23:19 [AndyL] Good deal Suzy

21:23:22 [drakethib] Flying

21:23:35 [drakethib] IF I can can I add a hint or two?

21:23:36 [LimeGreenC] that is a good deal Suzy

21:23:40 [MikeS] I use Alamo, National, or Dollar....whoever has the best deal for that particular trip.

21:23:47 [LimeGreenC] absolutely drake! :)

21:23:58 [SuzyQ] Yes, Drake - please!

21:23:58 [AndyL] how many people in your party Suzy?

21:24:02 [MikeS] what size car Suzy?

21:24:03 [drakethib] check http://www.fatwallet.com/ for tips

21:24:10 [SuzyQ] Andy - just my hubby and I

21:24:18 [drakethib] Always ask rental car companies for a discount or free upgrade

21:24:28 [drakethib] Everyone proably knows this

21:24:48 [drakethib] but a very polite "Can You bump me up a little please?

21:24:56 [drakethib] can have great results

21:25:26 [MikeS] Yeah Drake....especially if they need to free up a compact.

21:25:28 [AndyL] ok just remember the econy cars can just about take two pieces of average size luggage between their small trunks and back seats usually

21:25:41 [drakethib] USing Fat Wallet I saved an extra 10% from SOuthwest Tickets

21:25:41 [LimeGreenC] do you ask at the desk when you are getting your rental car?

21:25:46 [drakethib] Yes.

21:25:48 [LimeGreenC] or making your reservation?

21:25:54 [drakethib] Kid a little with them.

21:25:59 [SuzyQ] Mike - just an economy 4door

21:26:07 [drakethib] I was in Phoenix going to the Biltmore a few months ago

21:26:16 [drakethib] Joked with the clerk a little

21:26:37 [SuzyQ] Andy_ thanks for the info - yeah, jus the two of us with carryons for only 5 days.. :)

21:26:38 [MikeS] I rented a fullsize from Alamo for 5 days...$137

21:26:45 [drakethib] went from a compact to a Dodge 3000 for $12 more dollars

21:26:46 [AndyL] shmoozing can never hurt Drake ;)

21:27:10 [MikeS] Drake...that's $12 per day?

21:27:21 [drakethib] People love to be treated nicely

21:27:27 [drakethib] no 12 per week

21:27:27 [LimeGreenC] I got some pontiac tin can for my conference last April, and thought I would be squished on I-4 by those big SUV's and 18 wheelers. LOL

21:27:42 [LimeGreenC] that is a fantastic deal drake!

21:27:47 [drakethib] After dealing with grouchy travelers all day

21:27:55 [SuzyQ] When on Dis property, we take disney busses - even with a rental. We are just using the car for going to church and to the nutcracker

21:27:58 [drakethib] someone who can make them smile never hurts

21:28:10 [drakethib] the clerks have more power then you may think

21:28:34 [LimeGreenC] I use my car a good bit on Disney property.

21:28:36 [MikeS] Good deal.

21:28:37 [drakethib] Yes. We use the buses as well. They run great.

21:29:01 [MikeS] Me too Cheri

21:29:14 [LimeGreenC] this is very true drake, just a touch of the mouse, can get you big things

21:29:23 [MikeS] i'd feel naked w/o a car down there.

21:29:28 [SuzyQ] It seems that most of the car/limo services all charge about the same going to/from disney

21:29:36 [drakethib] I have never had a car at Disney

21:29:39 [LimeGreenC] We did discover this summer, that gas was actually cheaper on Disney property than off

21:29:50 [LimeGreenC] I couldn't believe it, but alas was true :)

21:30:09 [SuzyQ] That's funny, Mike - I think I prefer not having a car just because with a car reminds me of when I lived and worked at disney :) :)

21:30:11 [drakethib] Yes Lime. And again making someone smile isn't a bad thing wither :)

21:30:17 [MikeS] Cheri....pre-Charlie?

21:30:39 [LimeGreenC] In the summer, with 2 kids that are hot and tired, it's easier to walk to the car, than wait on that bus sometimes. Especially since we get there so early we're usually front row

21:30:40 [MikeS] Suzy...that's understandable.

21:30:46 [drakethib] sHas anyone used Quicksilver

21:30:58 [drakethib] sorry for my typing

21:30:59 [LimeGreenC] Yes, Mike pre-Charlie

21:31:01 [AndyL] hi james

21:31:11 [LimeGreenC] Quicksilver is fabulous!

21:31:14 [james] Hello

21:31:17 [LimeGreenC] Hi James!

21:31:36 [drakethib] We usually use mears but a "private" car sounds so great

21:31:36 [MikeS] Hi James

21:31:47 [SuzyQ] Hello James! http://master.mx-targeting.com/mx/servlet/MXTarget?adcontext=http://www.alamo.com/?action%3DmemberLoginAssist&contextpeak=0&contextcount=0&countrycodein=US&lastAdTime=1100485388|1100331440|1100485104|0|0|0|0|1099883315|0|&lastAdCode=1&cookie1=capdate%3D1421%26capdatedy%3D1114%26lupgtry

21:31:55 [james] hello everyone

21:32:02 [SuzyQ] Ask! Pay no attention to the gobblygoop!

21:32:23 [SuzyQ] We are discussing Budget Transportation tips

21:32:40 [drakethib] Hi James

21:32:47 [LimeGreenC] Gregory from quicksilver was waiting for me at the escaltors, and got my bags, and chatted and was so professional

21:32:50 [SuzyQ] I'm thinking that we will use Quicksilver when we go in May

21:33:17 [drakethib] I am a little nervous about them

21:33:19 [LimeGreenC] He also knows the back/quickway to Disney

21:33:22 [AndyL] well drake I've found if you go with 3 adults a towncar is abot the same as Mears without Mear's long waits

21:33:30 [drakethib] I hate putting my fate in someone elses hands

21:33:34 [LimeGreenC] no need to be nervous drake, I tell you they are great!

21:34:14 [drakethib] Last time we was at Disney the wife and I were saying how wonderfull it would be

21:34:21 [drakethib] to use a private car

21:34:28 [LimeGreenC] I was nervous too, because I was flying in alone, but Gregory was wonderful, right on time for the return trip too

21:34:30 [drakethib] as we sat and waited of rthe bus :(

21:34:33 [SuzyQ] I've heard a ton of good reviews on QS - We've have good lucj with Happy Limo (best rates for the times we have gone) and had a HORRIBLE experience with Cartier

21:35:08 [MikeS] My time in Orlando is too valuable NOT to have a car at my beck and call.

21:35:35 [drakethib] We stay on property the whole time so we dont go anywhere

21:35:58 [LimeGreenC] I think the key to transfers, or limo companies, is people's experience. Especially since that market is so competitive. I think your value comes in your service more so than a couple of dollars cheaper in this situation

21:36:28 [drakethib] I agree Lime

21:36:41 [LimeGreenC] Mike, I like having my car to run to the drugstore at 2 am is somebody gets sick or something,

21:36:47 [drakethib] 10 bucks or so for me not to worry would be well worth it

21:37:11 [LimeGreenC] I don't think you'll be disappointed with quicksilver

21:37:22 [SuzyQ] Cheri - you mentioned before that you use gas cards to save on gas??

21:37:34 [MikeS] Good point Cheri

21:37:55 [SuzyQ] Hello MJ!!

21:37:56 [MikeS] Hi MJ

21:37:59 [LimeGreenC] So, is the price mainly what affects your decision to rent, Mears, or limo it?

21:38:02 [LimeGreenC] Hey MJ

21:38:04 [AndyL] Margaret :) nice to see you

21:38:07 [MargaretJ] Hi guys!

21:38:07 [SuzyQ] We're talking busget transportation :)

21:38:13 [SuzyQ] BuDget

21:38:48 [SuzyQ] Price only factors for me with limo vs. rental

21:39:01 [MikeS] Interesting type bus-get transportation/.

21:39:08 [MikeS] Typo...

21:39:13 [LimeGreenC] Suzy, I used MYPOINTS to get a shell gas card that helped toward my budget. I noticed that there are more shell stations than the other ones offered. I think I got a $10 card last time

21:39:44 [SuzyQ] Ah! MyPoints - MyFavorite!

21:40:02 [SuzyQ] I use MyPoints for Webcertificates or Rainforest Cafe

21:40:11 [AndyL] could pay for gas with Disney Visa too for the rewards

21:40:11 [LimeGreenC] $10 on gas bought one counter service meal :D

21:40:32 [LimeGreenC] good point Andy

21:40:55 [LimeGreenC] I'm looking forward to using my Disney points toward my AP in just 20 somthing days! :)

21:41:19 [drakethib] I just got our Disney Visa

21:41:28 [drakethib] Wish i would have gotten one years ago

21:41:32 [SuzyQ] Cheri - you have the Dis visa!?

21:41:34 [AndyL] good for you Cheri

21:41:48 [LimeGreenC] Do you all also factor in your meals while traveling? Or do you take snacks?

21:41:54 [james] Disney Visa--Gotta love it!

21:41:59 [SuzyQ] Congrats Drake - we got ours when they came out - so you only missed a year and a half ;)

21:42:11 [drakethib] For the first time we will be stopping and getting groceries

21:42:19 [LimeGreenC] yep, gotta Disney Visa. The only CC I own!

21:42:35 [drakethib] this will cut our food budget in half (I think)

21:42:44 [SuzyQ] We don't make a budget for meals when traveling since it's just the two of us. Though, we plan on bringing our own food on flights

21:43:13 [SuzyQ] Wow Cheri! I knew you didn't do credit - I'm so proud of you!!! :D :D

21:43:24 [drakethib] our last trip we spent about 500 to 600 for food in 5 days

21:43:27 [LimeGreenC] I've noticed that I sometimes spend more money on snacks for the road than I spend on 2 days worth of food budget. So, I started stocking up on snacks little by little and stashing them until the big day

21:43:28 [drakethib] for 2 people

21:43:39 [SuzyQ] That's easy to do, Drake, in WDW

21:43:49 [MargaretJ] Food used to be cheap for us, that was before my son grew & started eating so much. LIkes the nicer restaurants too.

21:43:51 [drakethib] we hope that just taing breakfast out only will be a great savings

21:44:04 [LimeGreenC] credit cards are evil... but I HAD to have that Disney Visa

21:44:20 [drakethib] Very easy Suzy

21:44:59 [LimeGreenC] I've also gotten some great snack stuff at the dollar store

21:45:00 [MikeS] Hmmmm....this MF trip will have a high food budget.

21:45:38 [MargaretJ] For me too Mike. For such a short trip I can see this one costing alot.

21:45:43 [LimeGreenC] I also watch for sales on bandaids, tylenol and soforth to stock up on before we go.... those things on Disney property are too pricey!

21:45:45 [drakethib] What I found is that Breakfast and lunch normally ran as much as a good dinner

21:46:09 [MikeS] DD is coming to WDW for the first time in 5 years so we are treating her to some special meals.

21:46:22 [MargaretJ] Oh how neat Mike

21:46:32 [AndyL] CRT Mike?

21:46:32 [SuzyQ] That'll be nice, Mike.

21:46:33 [LimeGreenC] ya'll will have a great time Mike, I can't wait to meet her

21:46:57 [SuzyQ] Cheri (off topic) how expensive do you think bfast will be on Thurs am?

21:46:57 [drakethib] What is MF?

21:46:57 [LimeGreenC] this is true drake, especially if you love character meals as much as we do

21:47:04 [drakethib] yes we do

21:47:06 [LimeGreenC] Mousefest

21:47:13 [SuzyQ] Drake: MF = Mousefest

21:47:17 [LimeGreenC] ummm... just minute Suzy

21:47:38 [SuzyQ] (...cheri looking up menus...)

21:47:40 [MikeS] Ohana's, Tony's, Boma's, Le Cellier, Biergarten, Kona, Prime Time, H&V

21:47:43 [SuzyQ] :)

21:47:59 [SuzyQ] Are those the places you're eating during mf, mike?

21:48:03 [drakethib] The fast food seems to have gone down in quality in the last 2 years IMHO

21:48:07 [LimeGreenC] Banana-stuffed French Toast - Banana-stuffed Texas toast, strawberry banana sauce and choice of bacon, sausage, or ham $7.99

21:48:11 [MargaretJ] Wow some nice choices Mike.

21:48:16 [drakethib] The "regular"meaks are still good

21:48:36 [LimeGreenC] Milk $1.89

21:48:36 [SuzyQ] Goodness! That's a lot of sit-downs!

21:48:37 [MargaretJ] Not a bad price Cheri. Too bad I am going to miss the breakfast.

21:48:40 [MikeS] Drake => http://www.allearsnet.com/btp/mousefest.htm

21:48:48 [drakethib] will check it out

21:48:50 [SuzyQ] Thanks Cher - too lazy to look up

21:48:51 [LimeGreenC] Orange, Apple or Grapefruit Juice $1.99

21:49:02 [LimeGreenC] Coffee (regular or decaf) $1.99

21:49:05 [MikeS] Yeah Suzy....especially for only 5 days.

21:49:09 [SuzyQ] I'm hoping that we can meet up with you if we get in on time

21:49:18 [LimeGreenC] so now you can budget in MY breakfast Suzy. ;)

21:49:27 [SuzyQ] No worries about the coffee - I never order it at Disney - blech!!!!

21:49:30 [LimeGreenC] I sooo wish you could come MJ

21:50:10 [MargaretJ] I would if I was staying at Port Orleans but on such a short trip I need to be on a tight schedule.

21:50:14 [LimeGreenC] speaking of coffee, do you all bring your own coffee for the mornings?

21:50:31 [LimeGreenC] If you don't do refillable mugs, bringing your own can save a good bit of $$ too

21:50:43 [SuzyQ] Yup!! We bring starbucks mini packs (they fit in 4-cup brewer)

21:50:44 [drakethib] Is anyone a DVC member?

21:50:44 [MargaretJ] Yuck no coffee drinking for me. Diet Coke in the am.

21:50:47 [AndyL] yes I bring those dunk teabag style coffees

21:51:00 [SuzyQ] So - all the mods have fridges now?? I can bring cream!

21:51:13 [SuzyQ] Drake - we just joined DVC

21:51:13 [MikeS] * MikeS is not a coffee drinker

21:51:39 [MargaretJ] Not me drakethib

21:52:02 [LimeGreenC] <must have coffee.... must have coffee.... must have coffee....

21:52:29 [LimeGreenC] alright, does anybody have any more last minute travel tips

21:58:06 [MikeS] Suzy...the BIG meet is Saturday, Dec. 11th.

21:58:08 [MargaretJ] I know by the time you meet at Disney you feel like you know people already.

21:58:29 [MargaretJ] Cool Suzy that will be great.

21:59:28 [SuzyQ] Mike - what all happens at the BIG meet (I know - it's the reason everyone is there, but most of the smaller ones have a purpose - rides, eating) Is the megameet just people meeting other poeple (standing around) or are there tables set up with Disney presentations/sites/books

22:00:33 [MargaretJ] I need to run guys. Talk to you later.

22:00:45 [SuzyQ] Bye MJ - Have a nice nite

22:01:01 [MikeS] Suzy....there will be tables set up with the various webmasters and authors there...with their books. Imagine buying an autographed copy. there will be a pin table too. Goodies are given out as long as they last. i'm giving away a sweatshirt...all kinds of fun.

22:01:45 [SuzyQ] Both Del and I are looking forward to it! :)

22:01:50 [MikeS] We may have some treats at our table.
