I'm not sure if you're open to Priceline at all, but we used them for a car rental (May, 01) at LAX and got a great deal, about $16 a day I think, for a full-size. If you're interested, try TravelSheryl's board, www.biddingfortravel.com and scroll down to Rental Cars and Los Angeles. You'll get an idea of what others have paid recently. Good luck!
