I've never rented a car in the US so I can use some help here (for my sister).

Pickup location: MIA
Drop Off location: MIA
Pickup date & time: 11/27 11pm 
Drop Off Date & Time: 12/1 8pm
Preferred Car Size: cheapest

I'm a little hesitant to use any of the corporate codes that are out there.
Thanks!

Find someone to sell you Hertz vouchers. Otherwise you're looking at close to $600. You can pick them up on ebay now for half of that.
