Try Enterprise. I think they have a lower surcharge.

Be warned that Enterprise usually charges mileage, so that might cancel the savings. Tell them to be sure to check the details.

The absolute best way is to use a corporate account to make the reservation, if one of them qualifies for it. If one of them works for a company that has a corporate rental agreement with one of the companies (ours is with Hertz, for instance) then they should ask about getting a company member card issued, even if their job doesn't normally require travel. Corporate agreements are almost always set up to waive the under-25 surcharge.

BTW, this doesn't mean that the company pays for the rental on a reimbursement basis; the rental still needs a personal credit card that can be used for the rental charges.

Thanks these are college kids so its a cheap quick trip .. they have free transportation to Universal w/ the hotel but wondered if a car rental would be cheaper then shuttles and taxi's for the other places they are going.. Thanks Michelle
