First thing to do is to make a reservation now at the cheapest rate you can find using the various methods asp8tis mentions. That way you have a car when you get there. Then keep checking back for special deals all the way up until you leave. I need a car for just one day on this trip and I booked a rate of $57 (taxes and all fees included) back on May 14th. It was the best rate for the time I needed and I'm returning the car to a different location. Just two days ago another deal came out and dropped the rate down to $32 so that saved me $25. Make a new reservation first BEFORE you cancel the original reservation to make sure you get the rate and the car you expect. Otherwise, you could lose both deals.
