I'm looking for a minivan in Cleveland from 9/12 to 10/17.
It's for a Bikur Cholim family from Israel, they don't have much $$.
Looking online, the prices range from $1300 and up.
Any better way to go about this?
Sounds like a great price. Just make sure to check if there is a limit on driving with a foreign license. Could be it's only 1 month.

Pickup location:  JFK or Long Island local
Drop Off location:  Same
Pickup date & time:  9/17/17
Drop Off Date & Time:  10/15/17
Preferred Car Size:  Mid-size
Age (if under 25):
Best quote:  $900 pre-paid

Dates are slightly flexible, looking for a one month rental.  Located in Long Island, willing to pick up somewhere local.  I remember someone once telling me Hertz had monthly rates around $650 but couldn't find anything.  Thanks.

Is the  $900 pre-paid that you found, just the base rate or after taxes?
Hertz President Circle!
And awesome!

After taxes, no extra insurance, etc

Pickup location: NYC
Drop Off location: NYC
Pickup date & time: 9/19/17
Drop Off Date & Time: 9/25/17
Preferred Car Size:full size or SUV
Age (if under 25): 20
Best quote:$435

I need to add 2 additional drivers as well. 1 of them age 20 and one is 22 (if he reserves the car will we be able to be added as additional drivers? because that would be a lot cheaper)
I tried using the Chabad codes with hertz but it seems like they stop waving underage for 20
the quote I got above is from hertz with USAA but in NYC they started cracking down on that code so it will be very tough to add additional drivers without them asking for proof of USAA

I know in new york all companies rent to under 21 but I can't find any codes to waive the fees.
