20 aug departure at noon so return same as pick up
From SFO (not LAX)

No underage issues.

Thanks
its about $1050 or so + or -

Need help finding a car
8/5/12 9:00a.m. - 8/9/12 5:00 p.m.
Pick up: MIA
Drop off: FLL
Driver's age: 24
USAA member
alamo for $208 - i dont know how much the underage fee is, but if its a lot than hertz usaa has for $212 a standard car which is the cheapest

Trying to help a relative of mine rent a large SUV or minivan from July 31st to August 9th. He will pick up in LGA and return to EWR. He is over 25. The best price he was able to get was $850. I was hoping someone can help me get a better deal. Much appreciated. Tnx

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.

@ Driver: Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to look up the dates and price it out for me. This is what makes this site so special!
