Drop Off Date & Time TUESDAY FEB4 3PM
Preferred Car Size: MINIVAN/SUV - NEED 6 SEATS

Need at least 6 seater.  Any leads for decent price car rental?  I also see around $50/Day from Payless Car Rental.  Anyone hear of this place?  Should I not start with any of the no-name rental companies?
Also, if it's an extra few hours, do I always get charged for the full third day rental?

Thanks!

can get you for about 150.00 by Hertz

I'm not seeing that price by Dollar.. What would you get for Premium SUV from Dollar? Is it including the extra 5 hours above the two days?

Thanks

I can book it for you, if you take the full size SUV, you can usually get the premium SUV for the same price, and yes its include the extra 5 hours.

Is this prepaid or can I pay on the spot? No way to directly order the premium? Not sure about size of traverse... 4 pax and luggage...

I rent from them, and their lot is usually quite empty...

ended up doing priceline for MIA - $26/day for minivan from Hertz - total for 2 days with taxes and fees = $86

What happens if I go a few hours over the 2 days?  do they charge according to my priceline price or their own price?
