Why does everyone keep on putting their age when it says "If under 25"  ;)
Jews ≠ Zionists
Palestinians ≠ Hamas

Pickup location: SDF
Drop Off location: DAY
Pickup date & time: 10/12/14 11:00 AM
Drop Off Date & Time 10/14/14 4:00 PM
Preferred Car Size: SUV (any)
Age (if under 25):

Must have unlimited mileage. I also have Hertz 5*, so I could get a smaller car (but I can't seem to get unlimited miles with them).

ETA: Using Honeywell with National got me $197, with 300 miles included. I'm estimating that I need around 400 miles, so that's a total of $227. It's my best rate yet, but still seems awfully expensive.
