JFK rentals are always insane.
Try all the corporate codes you know. I've heard chabad is usually the best, but I've never used it.

(I know some guys who used the chabad code. When they picked up the car, the agent asked them to verify the address of the company. Ummmmm. 770 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn NY. Only the most famous address in judaism.)

i'm just a tad nervous about using them, i heard that they ask for company id.

many new threads are made by people who are looking for help, yet most of them use a title which has something to do with what they're asking about... 8)

Fixed.  Many posters seem to suffer from this ailment.

Enterprise with the Chabad Corporate may work out best in this case...

Wow it's significantly cheaper with the chabad code. The only thing is i've heard that they ask for id for your corporate, is there anyway to verify this?

I'm not sure it's verifiable at all. Even previous experiences don't guarantee future rentals.
I rented from there a few times and had no problem.
Worst case, make another back-up reservation by the next-cheapest company, and use it if you run into problems...
