May 2018 car rental watch

do they check coupon codes. i never been asked about the discounts when i pick the car up. are they getting more strict
I have never had them check coupons but I noticed on a different month's rental car thread that someone was worried so I figured I would look into the coupon. I didn't even know where it came from, lol, just that it worked!
 
My coupon codes weren't questioned either. Got a Minivan in the Full Size aisle last week, still driving it. Beep Beep!
 
So I have a question for you all who might be more experienced. My brother is joining us midway through and is renting a car from Dollar at MCO. He said he got manager's special, what exactly does that mean? I think he was just going for the lowest price thing to save money (which I don't blame him). I'm a little concerned he's going to end up with something like the smallest car on the lot. Any idea on how this works?

It will be a 4 door compact car or larger. Usually when you pick up at a Choice location (MCO) they will tell you to pick any vehicle from a specific aisle. So it might be from the compact aisle or the full size aisle etc. - just depends on what they have available.

Ok thank you. He's a big and tall guy, hopefully they'll be able to find him something that'll work.
 
Finally seeing a little downward movement on my rental. Alamo: 5/19 - 5/29 [11 day rental] @ $238. total for standard vehicle; Costco discount and AD2365FDN coupon. Last year I had a 12 day rental @ $218. for a premium vehicle, but I'm pretty pleased with this rate for 2018.
 
For USAA members--Booked through USAA website including selection of option to add free-day-with-weekly-rental coupon. Full-size, 9 days, May 24-June 2 for $169 with Hertz.


ETA: I checked this again a little later after reserving at $169 and the price has jumped back up to $260. And went back down again a day or two later...
