Pickup location: LGA
Drop Off location: PHL
Pickup date & time: 9/30/15 @3 PM
Drop Off Date & Time: 10/7/15 @3 PM
Preferred Car Size: full size or bigger - a full size SUV or minivan would be amazing
Age (if under 25): above 25
Best quote: 317.94 for a full size (Thrifty through carrentals.com)

Anyone know a website or rental company that's known for giving good prices on one way rentals? If I could get a much better price on a rental that drops off at the same location (either LGA or PHL) I'd consider that too.

Anyone know of hertz locations in NJ open past 1PM today (Sunday) besides EWR?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Why does everybody post on here right before they need to pick up their rental? If you want somebody to actually help you with a better price, maybe try posting at least a week before so somebody can actually work on it and get back to you with enough time to rebook it, instead of someone spending precious time to help you and by the that time you have already picked up the rental!!!

hi there,

I  do not know if this is the right place but i have a question i reserved a car with hertz using a code 36713.
now i was able to get a 250.00 dollar rental for only 36.27.
so my question is... people are telling me that this code does not always work, but from what i see so far is that they gave me a better rate because of this code.
I am renting the car from the air port in Miami so i know i have to go in and come out quietly but.....any tips for me guys ? I fly tonight.

Thanks !

That code is not a regular code. It is a code from a free day certificate that you will have to give them in the actual coupon, so unless you have such a coupon paper it won't get you too far.
