First of all, thank you for this service - VERY MUCH appreciated.

Details:
Pickup and Dropoff: NY, 11559
Driver Age: 24
Dates: July 16th to August 9th. I assume a monthly rate will turn out cheaper.

If I need to provide any more info let me know.

Thank you.

From brooklyn to the catskils
Hertz Usaa - $59.32 + .25 per mile (prob about $35)
or
Hertz with SA rate using USAA code - $39.56 unlim miles

but with hertz SA in brooklyn you're taking a chance because they are known to not always respect it.
