Looks like I'm not having any luck here, no deals?? (perhaps One Ways are too expensive ??? :-[), but my time is of the essence here..

So how about 1 day from CLE and returning in CLE, for today, Sunday.

Anyone?? ?? ??  A deal?? ??

TIA

I need a rental from Jan 13 to 17 in Miami.
"Economy" has a car for $89
Alamo is $149
Hertz is like $440

Anybody know these no name places?
How bad is it?
Is there anyway to get a Brand name for a comparable Price?

Need one-way rental from Stamford/Norwalk CT to JFK on Dec 21st (This Friday).  Best I could find was National MidSize for $98 (including everything except gas/toll with no CDW).  I have reserved JFK->Norwalk for $50 from Hertz on demand.
