Rental car help needed!

[caa1277]

We are flying down on June 2 and staying until June 12. We need to rent a car to drive home with because we are going to stay at some beach in Florida for a few days after WDW. The rates I have been quoted are for one-way rates are they EXTREMELY high!

Anyone know of any goodd eals for one-way rentals out of Florida for June 12-18?? We need a minivan.

Any and all help, advice and information is greatly appreciated!

The cheapest rates I could find when looking today was from paylesscar.com. Also, if you register with their site before you book you get a tiny discount.

Here is an offer from Hertz:

http://www.hertz.com/rentacar/specialoffers/index.jsp?targetPage=floridadriveout.xml&Category=Q

You might not be able to get a minivan with this offer but a Full Size car may be available. Looks like around $79 per week with multiple drop off locations.

Here is a deal for Avis:

Slightly more expensive, no minivans but they do have SUV's.

Here is National's:

Here is Alamo's:

Both currently expire before your dates though - 5/31/11.

Recommend booking the best deal you can find now and keep checking. More agencies will probably add deals and they may expand or extend them.

WOW!!!! Thanks for all of that information!

I have checked out some of them already and no luck with the minivan. Right now hertz has the best deal.....full-size car for $79/week. Wish I could find an upgrade for them to apply it to. THen maybe I could upgrade to a minivan for the same price. I had no idea that one-way rentals were so darn expensive.

Even if you had an upgrade coupon, minivans are almost always excluded and even if they are not, upgrades are subject to availability and trust me, in FL heading into the summer, no rental agency wants to let go of the lucrative minivans.
