Travel Deal of the Day (November 24, 2008)

If you need a rental car for Thanksgiving weekend, I would encourage you to look at the last-minute specials on car rental car company websites.

The Deal:
Due to a lack of demand from business travelers during Thanksgiving week, car rental companies will likely have a glut of cars sitting on their lots this week. There will likely be excellent deals on the last minute special sections of car rental companies’ websites. Be sure to check these websites as well as bidding websites such as Priceline or Hotwire for great deals this week. Even if you already have your car rental reservation, if there is no cancellation fee, be sure to re-check car rental rates the night before you pick up the car as rates may have decreased significantly.
