anyone have any suggestions for a one-way rental from dtw-nyc on 2/24 till 2/25. most sites want $200 for a 1-day rental. is this usually the going rate? the alternative would be for me and my fried to fly, but just trying to see if it is kedai for 2 people to rent a car rather than fly.

How old are you and your 'fried'?

You should also factor in gas.

For one way rentals, corporates make a huge difference.

sweet thanks for that hocker. i'm thinking of also maybe driving back from nyc-dtw on 3/6. would it be cheaper to just do one long rental rather than 2 one-way rentals? so far i'm getting like $23/day. would this exeed the miles limit.

fyi, i'm under 23, and consequently i'm new to renting cars. this would be my first time

need a car in miami (airport) from January 18-24. I prefer National since I am part of the executive club and get to pick any car from that selection. Best I could find is $311.35. Any advice?

Looking for a car in London (doesn't need to be from airport) from 11/15-11/24.  Must be automatic.  Am Hertz #1 gold and National Emerald Club Exec if that helps.

Thanx in advance.
