Looking for a minivan for around a month, can be any start and end dateas long as it includes August 14th-Sep 1st. I know for a fact that the right company and codes can bring it down to at least $800. Im offering 1100 and anything below that and you keep the difference. PM if interested. Brooklyn preferable but anywhere in tristate area.
