Call Newark and ask them to guarantee a 8 seater Sienna for u.
Can't get through to anyone there.  Is there a trick?

Any suggestions on renting a car from Vegas to San Francisco? Would renting with amex platinum have any benefits?

If we have 2 drivers, would it have any effect on price?

I appreciate any suggestions/advice

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

Membership? Yeah I do.
Get from budget through Costco travel and modify rental to include whatever codes you want to add to waive underage and maybe reduce rate further.
