Do you have USAA? If yes I can get you a full size for the same price. If not, I can get a midsize at that price. Or you can always buy free day vouchers and it will come out to about $90 for a premium.

Thanks. I don't care much about the car so just went with Hertz.

Can anyone help me...I'm planning on going to LA and want to rent a car in LAX. From what I understand even if I make a reservation with my hertz gold and I have USAA they will flag me and wont rent the car to me unless I have a valid USAA military ID (I have friends that this has happened to) What are my best options for renting without paying any underage fee. I'm 24. Thanks

Currently have a reservation at national for a full size SUV for $59 a day... But would rather a van. I've seen national having vans but didn't see in any Brooklyn locations.
