Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Might help to post your dates and best rate found (as per wiki) so people can try and help you.

If I need to start deciphering your post or "pull teeth" to get answers, it's much simpler for me to just pass and ignore your request..

+1 Although I want to help if it becomes too hard just to fig out what to try, it's not worth my time to even start.

12/15 - 12/17 pickup at FLL drop at MIA. Best price I found was $14/day but very high drop fees for switching locations. Total +/- $99 for 3 days

Alamo through Costco is around $70 for a normal car. Fox is about the same. (12/15-12/17 is only 2 days, BTW.)
