what is the best card to use for car rental insurance on a minivan?
does it pay to buy the AMEX Preimum car rental protection?
does it pay to buy it from the car rental place?
it is for less then 4 days

National's rates for midsize are much higher than minivan rates with other rental agencies.

when renting at LAX can I go to the rental right away and come back to take my luggage, or once I'm out they won't let me back in?

Will picking up a car at LAX and returning at BUR be considered a one way rental?

I need an 8 seater and it seems like any national rental place only has 7 seaters (we are actually 9 people so we definitely can't do a 7 seater van). Has anyone found an LA rental place with 8 seaters that has decent reviews?

I am traveling 1/19-1/21. Yes, Delta :-)

Dollar.com in LAX usually has very good rates. You need to search them directly not thru a search engine (kayak, orbits etc) then when the cars show up, you can click where it said, show specials for this city. (do not click prepaid as the rate is higher)

FYI: Dollar is decent but not the same standards as Hertz, Avis, etc

Dollar also has nothing bigger than a 7 seater. Has anyone actually rented from LAX Van Rentals - they have 8 seaters supposedly, but lousy reviews.

I would keep far away from any non popular car rentals esp at Lax. Even Budget in Lax is privately owned, and had horrible experiences there.
