Does anyone know a secret code in order to get a cheaper rate with Hertz? Avis? I'm lookin at rates for my Florida trip IYH 2/21-25 and finding the cheapest rates with National and some of the off brands (economy, fox, etc) The Hertz and Avis prices are so way off that I wonder why people rent there. In any event, this honestly isn't the first time I'm asking this type of question, but I haven't had any great advice yet. Any ideas?

I used the USAA code and a coupon code for $40 off and I got a full size car from Hertz for 6 days (1/23-1/29) for $154. Sixt is cheaper, got for $133 but at least I know it's Hertz.

Wow! Can you give me the USAA code and the coupon code? Is USAA a company?

I won't presume to tell you what you will or won't like but unless you know you enjoy driving  a wrangler I'd go with something else.

I have a convertible now. So anything like a seabring is kind of a downgrade ( for a lack of aounding spoiled ) wrangler seems more rugged and fun. I had one last summer.  What are the best rental agencies? Corp codes to use?

First of all I think you have the wrong concept of tzar gidal bonim. (Maybe that's a good thing).

2nd of all, you looking any place in particular,  or just generally anywhere in the USA?
