We have a trip coming up the first 2 weeks in October. I have our itinerary pretty well planned out, and tentatively I have us flying into San Diego, and over the course of 2 weeks we'll go all the way up the coast to San Francisco, and fly home from there. The only catch I'm having is the rate on a mini van (2 adults and 4 kids) is extremely high-$2100- because of picking the car up at one airport and returning it at the other.
I also checked dates that were closer to now, and while it did bring the rate down it was still very high- about 1600 I think it was.
Whereas if I check getting it from LAX, and returning it there, the rate is between 500-600. That would change our travel plans somewhat- mainly at the end of our trip we'd head from San Francisco back to LA and take hwy 101- probably stay at Madonna Inn for one night to make it less driving in one day for the kids... I was hoping to avoid LAX, but to save 1500 I might put up with the inconvenience.
My questions is what is typical for a rate in the fall, picking up at San Diego, and dropping off at San Francisco? Does anyone have any experience in this? Would love to hear any suggestions/opinions!
