Is this a good rate?

[cocowum]

I have been searching for a cheap rate for a minivan. Picking up at The Albany ny airport. the cheapest rate I could find for my dates was 490.00 14days (4/21/05 - 5/5/05) what do you think? any input would be appreciated.

well, 35 aday sounds pretty good. My 3 questions would be:

Is this for a trip to Orlando? If so,

Is there a mileage restriction?

Is there an area restriction as to where you can take the vehicle?

I'm not an expert on car rentals, but I have heard of low priced rentals with a boat load of restrictions in mice type, that will cost you a bundle if you go beyond them.

So be sure you read every word of your contract.

Good Luck

Yes we are driving to Orlando.
490 is the total including all fees ( it's actually 28.95 a day plus all taxes and fees.)
No mileage restrictions. It was through hotwire and I have a $30
rebate coupon (ENT book)so that lowers the price down to 460. I couldn't find anything on priceline. I don't want to find out there is a lower price floating around out there and I've already locked myself into Hotwire. I really don't want to wait either I like to have everything done early I've already started packing lol anyway, thanks for your thoughts.
