Anyone ever rent from economy in miami airport?

I got a sick deal $50 total for full size 2/8-2/12

After reading reviews of the place Im petrified however the next best rate I got was from Alamo for $136. And that was putting it in for a week, what happens if i return the car early? When I say early Im talking about 10 hours

Anyone have coupons for Alamo?
