idk how much under age fee is for these companies but check if its worth it.. all for economy car total price listed
Advantage : $104
E-Z car: $107

and cheapest without underage fee is enterprise with chabad corp. for total $121 for compact car (prob the best deal out of all)

Hi all,

We want a minivan for period september 2nd untill october 4th. We want it from Las Vegas McCarran airport. The driver is <25 years of age, and the drivers license was issued in the Netherlands. Best I got so far is around 1900 dollar (around 1500 euro's ) using Herz Family Gold (which waives the underage fee). We are unsure if this CDP might give a problem since it is for US Residents and we are clearly not ... ;)

Can anyone help us to a better offer? (We chose the Grand Caravan, since space is needed; we travel with 2 small kids and their required luggage ;))

Dropoff will be at the same airport, unlimited miles.
i can get you $1616 , no under age fee for a minivan, PM me

I'm looking to rent a midsize or bigger car from DTW to GRR aug 7 to aug 8
the best i can find is $117
if someone can please find me a better price
thanks
where do u find $117?

i am looking to rent a car in lax 8/6/12-8/15/12

it is me my wife and 2 kids- all i have is an american express platinum card- cheapest i found so far was 355.72. for compact.

any help or advise - i really have no problem doing the work/research but i am really bad at the research part.

thanks for your help
$289 for economy at e-z rent a car
or $297 at enterprise for compact with chabad corp.

hertz $215 for a compact, PM me for details.
if you are looking for something bigger, you will be better off with the avis airport SUV deal if its still alive.

i have a reservation with dollar from LAX for a convertable on 8/12-8/16 (4 days) at $46 a day base rate for a total of $240 after fees.
Is there any way to get this cheaper, i'm over 25 and i have national executive. I don't really understand how emrald aisle works, if i were to reserve a midsize car is ther a chance i might get a convertable?
Thanks!

Well probably not, if you want someone to help you would have to tell us dates and place, best would be to fill in this list:

From:
To:
Start dates:
End dates:

I'm in need of an SUV rental in Oakland, CA at the end of September. It will be an 8 day rental. I've noticed many of the rental companies have had weekly SUV rental deals throughout the spring and part of the summer, but all deals seemed to have ended in June and July. I think there is one left that runs through August with Dollar. The rates have been around $150/week. I was able to reserve one with a State of Florida code through Avis, which was a good deal. I'm just concerned that they will ask for proof. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!  ;D
