What is the best way (economical) way of renting a car in the US using points and/or credit card reimbursement (example approx I need car for 10 days pick up at newark airport and drop off at newark airport 11/7/13 to 11/17/13)

I have AMEX points, Ultimate rewards, thank you points or is best to purchase car rental via sites such as priceline and pay with a card like the Barclay's card and get reimbursed

Any consensus??? thoughts?

?

Thank you! They offered an Economy (i.e., Nissan Versa) for 166.85 as a base rate for 3 days.

Is that good? Are there any promotions/coupons I can use?

And can I ask to be upgraded later for free?

Preferred Car Size: any
Age (if under 25): (over 25)
Best quote: 376 Avis via kayak, I found Hertz for around 480 (cheapest is Midsize SUV) (Hertz has double points)

For some reason Hertz was charging out as a week and 3 hours. Anyone know why?

I can use Hertz 24/7 and drive to Manhattan but I did not find anything cheaper.

I just got this quote from Atlaschoice based in England( economy car,driver over 25). This price is FAR less than any other offer via Hotwire, priceline etcc which are all coming at approx $500. Am i missing something here or is this a real steal fro Newark airport. Has anybody used Atlaschoice???.
