With Chabad's corporate you can get a minivan for $330.27 after taxes. If you have AMEX Blue then you can register your card and get a $20 statement credit, bringing your price down to 330.27-20= $310.27

From where? Using 41M0174 on Enterprise it's showing sold-out.

Enterprise. It was available when I checked. You should try calling direct. there are usually two different rental systems.

You  must have been looking at something else as its been sold out all day. I called them and they don't see anything different. The rates even for the cheapest cars are $100+

Enterprise w/ chabad discount. $197
Hertz wants $45 a day just in fees. If you can get your hands on free days, that should work. Others may have more experience with PR Rentals
