do they pay you $35 or up to $35 meaning if you get it for $18 a day what will they give you? Hertz full size is around $30 a day

Is he an "Emerald Club" member with National? if not he should enroll (it's free) and book a mid-size car with the emerald club contract ID (5007125) and national $35-off weekly coupon (ND8578ADT) total for 9 days will be $657.29.

Since the 31st is in the middle of the week there's a great chance he should find a minivan in the "emerald aisle", not guaranteed though.
