Hi, guys. I'm looking to rent a car in Newark Airport (EWR) and I'm debating between a one-way rental (which would be more convenient for me) or a round-trip. Here are my trip details:

Pickup location: EWR airport
Drop Off location: Either Teaneck/Fort Lee, or back at EWR if necessary
Pickup date & time: June 28
Drop Off Date & Time: June 30
Preferred Car Size: Economy (cheapest)
Age (if under 25): 33
Best quote: $125 for round-trip or $145 for one-way

Thanks!

PHL July 17th thru 21st.  I have Hertz gold plus
Does hertz Choice allow you to get a minivan by paying intermediate rate in Phl?
Are they good about allowing you to take any car on the lot (I really need an 8 seater)?

My current best quote for an intermediate car is $242 for 4 days using CV: CV#022L4585 or  CV051C0001 and AAA.  Am I running any risk using a cv code?  Can they ask me for justification to use a cv code?
Thanks
