    $443 per week is great! I was expecting to see $700…

      I've found an offer that looks suspiciously cheap on the budget.com website.

      Can you spot anything that is obviously wrong with this offer? It's far cheaper than what I found elsewhere for a similar car.

        @klaus Budget is a legitimate company that I frankly forgot about. I believe their specialty is long term rentals which is ideal for your situation.

          I get a better rate from the company directly. I’ve checked the hotels, too. Same thing.

          And today’s little life hack…Look up the closest college/university to the hotel and ask if they offer a _____________ rate…

            The best car rental deals I have found were at Costco

            https://www.costcotravel.com/

            And it is nice to see several options all together

                    We first built that system in London for Europcar in the early 90s.

                    Then we brought it here with a bunch of changes for National and Alamo.

                        Stick with Avis, Enterprise, Alamo, and Budget. I’d stay away from Dollar and Hertz.

                        Enterprise has consistently given me the best value vs service/convenience. Hertz used to be right there too, but there have been too many horror stories lately.

                        Article on Hertz being sued by multiple customers for filing false vehicle theft reports leading to customers being wrongfully arrested. Hertz is also currently going through bankruptcy proceedings.
