The only thing I can reveal so far, for people that don't pay the premium membership on DDF is that you should state as your location (not rental) bein in Syria or Brazil, it will often knock off taxes.

If people are nice, some more tips will follow.

@ the fans: blushing

When renting via avis.com, there is a little checkbox (on the first page of 'reservations') with an option stating your location.

That's where you should change the default USA to something else.

Not sure if it works for the USA rentals, but keep us posted.

To put all other shticks to shame, I managed (with the help of a dd forum member which I won't disclose) to rent for someone a Mercedes 220 at TLV Airport for 2 days for a grand total of $27.02 .

The price was made up like this:

$27 airport surcharge

$0.02 rental charge ($0.01 per day)

If renting in a non airport location, the price would have been $0.30 for a Mercedes (or similar) for 30 days.

Just for the fun, have a look what they would charge for that...
