So I just reserved a rental from Hertz and their best deal for 4 days was 50 dollars MORE than their best deal for a week rental!

FAIL! for Hertz

FTW! for JamesBond

lol What car did you rent?

Full size. (Impala, Malibu, Grand Prix) But I am getting it on a saturday so who knows what they will have left to rent me.

I recently reserved a car (Lincoln Town Car or DTS) through Hertz for Memorial Day weekend, and the rates by booking through the USAirways site vs. directly via the Hertz website were about $130 less for ~3 1/2 days..and I wasn't using a coupon.

I always overpay for rentals. The underage fee (18-20) sometimes dwarfs the cost for the actual car.

221 for the week is a pretty good deal. I haven't been able to find anything better.

Redneck chick with a '95 Camaro (150k miles btw) we fixed returned her rental... an '09 Corolla. She must have been drunk for most of the time she had it. The passenger front fender was all scraped up, and the wheel cover on that side. She must have found some scratches, because there was red fingernail polish around the Toyota emblem on the trunk lid and left doors (splattered, not carefully applied anywhere), the trunk interior, seats, and ignition key were all splattered in red. She told Enterprise she didn't know who did it, it must have been vandalized.

Hey, here's another tip...especially in California.

If you rent from a NON-airport location, especially picking up on the weekend, you get REALLY good rates and there are less taxes. Basically, you can put another $10 to $20 in your pocket on a $225 rental.

I shop relentlessly for the best rental car deals.

Hertz LOCAL Edition BABY! At the airport it would have been 100 bucks more.

The 69 For sure...not this eme. day weekend, but sometime when you are in Ohio we should hook up for lunch or something.

Here renting at the airport is significantly cheaper than non-airport locations. I checked a one-day rental from Avis, the airport was like $15, the non airport was $40. Oh, and corporate discount FTW 'cause our large car (which ended up being an Acadia) in Florida for a week ended up being like $140.

I'm hoping it will be a Town Car.. Picking it up in Pittsburgh on the 22nd.

If you're going to be in PGH for any length of time, let me know.

I'll let you know, probably just be in and out of the airport...going to visit my Mom 75 miles west of the Burgh.

Definitely...sometimes I fly in and out of Columbus..it's about 25 miles further for me than PGH.

Picked up my Malibu LS today. Love the car. I have had one before, but this one has two HUGE dents in the front passenger door. I'll take some photos.
