If anyone can help me find the cheapest rental car I would appreciate it. The pricing that I can find is around 600. Here is my information below.
Thank you,

Pickup location: Ft Lauderdale - FLL Airport
Drop Off location:Sarasota-  SRQ airport
Pickup date & time: July, 18 2 PM
Drop Off Date & Time: July 23, 2 PM
Preferred Car Size: Minivan, or large SUV
Go to Alamo and try this contract ID 65198ZF
It will show up as Gold PL it is the ISIC student card discount.
The price I got was $307 with extras,(gas,cdw,and more)
Just be warned that the Alamo agent can ask you for your ISIC card. (I don't think it's to likely)

thank you very much. I hope they don't ask for the ID. Would it help to prepay for the car rental in advance? It doesn't mention anything on my reservation about ITIS.
It also included the gas option and collision waiver.

Hertz on La Brea is 913 with usaa which will give you the free additional 18yr old driver. There is also a $50 promo code (182276) for a monthly rental.

I didn't see any better. Might be worth waiting to see if hertz continues the 9.99 a day deal.

you are probaby best off at an airport location do a month only and then extend or just bring in late you will only be charged you reg daily rate for the extra days. IME the cheapest rates are in delaware at jfk avis usually gives good monthly rates play around with the awds in the Avis Master Thread wiki. Sorry don't have a computer to check out the rates if your still having trouble post again and we'll try to help
