Renting Cars in Peak time? Try AutoSlash!!

AutoSlash is a meta search site for searching car rental deals without hunting around for discount codes for various car rental companies. Although my first go to site for car rental search is "CarRentalSavers.com" it might be worth requesting a quote from AutoSlash.

The way AutoSlash works is different from OTA's such as Priceline or Expedia. You have two options with AutoSlash:

• You can provide the details of the car rental you are looking for and it will email you the quote usually within few minutes.
• You can plug in details of your existing car rental booking and it will alert you when it finds a cheaper option.

Select the Option you are looking for. Getting a quote is always a good way to fine a rate without any commitment to purchase.

Once you enter the airport details, it asks if you have membership with any of the various credit card, frequent flyer programs or AAA, AARP. This enables AutoSlash to use discount codes which are provided by those membership's and get the best quote possible. Once it finds the best rate it will email the quote which has multiple rates and usually ask to book ASAP as the rates might change anytime. 

The good aspect of this rates is that most of the time you can cancel this rates till last minute without any penalty. Sometimes it will redirect you to Priceline to book this special rate while other times it provides the rate bookable on AutoSlash itself. 

Below is an example rate from "CarRentalSavers.com" for 1 day car rental in Austin and how it compares to the search with "Autoslash".

CarRentalSavers.com search for 1 day rental in AUS (Austin) Airport

AutoSlash quote for the same 1 day rental at AUS (Austin) Airport

As you can see from above the "AutoSlash" still saved couple of dollars for the best/cheapest rate against the same search with "CarRentalSavers.com". The saving's in this case may not be huge but I have seen instance's where AutoSlash provides discount of 30% against the best available rate on any other car rental site.

Do note that AutoSlash may not always provide the best rate so its always useful to search couple of OTA or meta search sites before you make your car rental booking. Also before you make your final car rental booking it is always good to check any frequent flyer bonus promotions for car rental. My go to site for this is "frequentflyerbonuses.com".

So, next time your rent a car do check with AutoSlash!!
