Try National with the Jewish Corporate code. Or there are others but YMMV.

YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary

Try priceline and name your price.

National was the cheapest for me in FLL booked for compact and got a full size Impala with leather seats, you need to be a member to choose any car in the Aisle section.

Isn't it common practice that when one books a compact you end up with a full size because they do not stock compacts?

Alamo. They were a pleasure to deal with.

I have seen that Costco travel (if you are a Costco member) seems to be the lowest in FLL, I have rented from them four times, each time significantly lower than, Priceline, orbitz, Kayak, etc..

Yes. I've been using Priceline Name your Own Price for years for hotels and car rentals.  They are almost always cheaper than the various codes I've found.  The guy who helped me at the Alamo desk said that this was one of the better rates he's seen in a long time (I'm assuming not including the summer).

Costco Pricing seems to be the best, and going down as I get closer to the date.
