Anyone know the cheapest place to get a car for a month in the new York area? I'm looking to spend between $500-$600.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Hey, New to the Forum!!!

Looking for full size or bigger
Picking up: June 30 10AM Chicago Union Station

Dropping off: Kansas City Anywhere July 10 Anytime.

I have AAA, Hertz Gold, Enterprise Plus
Seems like Hertz is the best bet for Union Station. Coming on on Amtrak with my family so I don't really want to get something off site.

Best price I have seen is $733 Hertz and $634 Enterprise

Thanks
