Using SkyMiles for 5 day rental with 5 different Skymiles accounts
« Reply #2246 on: June 26, 2013, 11:06:23 AM »
Using Delta Skymiles for a car rental for 5 days, using 5 different Skymiles accounts.

I've got a complicated scenario.  I want to rent a car with Budget using Delta SkyMiles points.  I have 16,500 as do 4 other members of my family.  Is there a way to make 5 reservations for 5 consecutive days? The problem is that to transfer the points to one account would cost $165 per transfer (165x4) which is way more than the car would cost.  The other problems are that 3 of the people are minors and I can't rent a car under their name if they aren't the driver.  Thirdly, I don't want to have to go to the airport everyday to renew a rental.
Anybody have any ideas?  Budget is by far the cheapest even with using points, but if somebody has a solution for Avis, Hertz, National, or Alamo, please let me know how to do this.
Thanks
Josh

Walk in reservations are usually more expensive.
