santa monica, ca (90404)
same drop off
date: aug 4 morning
dropoff date: aug 17 or 18 morning
Preferred Car Size - any
i will be renting the car (im over 25 and have a cc that gives primary insurance)
however i would need to add additional driver or 2 that is 21
quoted: enterprise $360
thru costco $340 (w/o additional driver info)

i have AAA, Costco, Chabad cc

i see cheaper from LAX however that would be a pain for me to shlep there to pick up and drop off.
the 21 yr old can pick it up from lax aug 3 9:30 - i dont know what that will add to the cost in terms of underage fee and insurance

thank you
