I need a full size or larger from downtown Los Angeles for one way to ABQ Albuquerque.  Pickup is Oct 3 and drop off is Oct 14 (12 days) will also consider pick up at LAX airport. Over age 25; USAA, CostCo membership.   So far I have $323.   Any help?   Please and Thank you.
It's pretty cheap especially for a one way. From what provider is that rate?

I need a rental car in Newark airport from October 30th 12:00 AM for 5 months. The driver is from UK and is 23. He will be renting with his UK drivers license. I can take care of insurance myself if need be, but I would like prices for with and without.

Alternatively I can pick up a car in New Brunswick later that day anywhere in the 08901 zip code area.

I prefer the smallest, cheapest, most fuel efficient car possible.

Thanks in advance
