I am wondering if anyone out there in the world of CP has any good advice on where or how to get the best deals on car rentals.

My wife and I are heading to Maui with our 7 month old in about a month from now and we are going to need to rent a car when we get there. Having a kid means no more taking taxi's as he needs to be in a car seat all the time.

I have checked the usual suspects like Budget, Enterprise, National etc....
I have even heard of bidding for a car on Priceline.com which I may end up trying.

We are going to be sharing the car with another couple we are going with so we need an SUV or even minivan to fit us all and the car seat comfortably.

I just wanted to see if anyone here has any experience they could share on getting a good deal. Right now we are looking at between $600 and $650 for 10 days which is pretty pricy.

If you know of any good websites, places to get coupons, discounts, anything really I am open to suggestions.

Also for those that travel with children, do you generally rent a car seat or do you bring your own with you?

Thanks in advance!!
