Lakewood area Hertz locations usually don't have SUV's bookable online, you must call the location directly to reserve one or book a car and hope there will be a Rav4 avail.

$719 in Brooklyn. You will have the state minimum of 10k coverage etc. without buying Liability. Buying coverage from the company would be aprox $13 a day.

I found a 28 day car rental in CT for $660 with Avis, anyone know if liability insurance is included in the rental (like NY)? Are there any good promotions as in earning points/miles with these long term rentals? I'm currently Avis preferred is there anyway I could go on a fast track to elite status with Avis as I'm planning on renting a car for the next couple of months? I'm unfamiliar with car rental programs as I seldom rent so all advice is greatly appreciated, thanks guys.

The cheapest for a minivan I don't think you'll found cheaper then $400, but if you want a 8 passenger car you can take a full size SUV which I have for $360, if you're interested PM and I'll give you some discount.
