Insane rental rate from Avis

I just tried to find one way rental for 3 days. And the two airports for pickup and drop-off are located only around 30 miles apart. Using Costco Travel website, I found this Avis Fullsize Van rental rate pretty insane:

Pick-Up Date: Fri., Feb. 17, 2017 Pick-Up Time:05:00 PM
Drop-Off Date: Mon., Feb. 20, 2017 Drop-Off Time: 05:00 PM
Rental Period: 3 days

Pick-Up Location:
Outagamie County Airport, W6390 Challenger Drive Suite 213
Appleton, WI 54915, US

Drop-Off Location:
Austin Straubel Intl Airport, 2077 Airport Drive
Green Bay, WI 54313, US

Avis - Fullsize Van
Total Rental Price
$32,657.58
Includes all Taxes and Fees

For that money, I can buy a decent midsize car / SUV.

Note: other car types start from $180

Yes, but then you'd have to pay for parking at Green Bay.

ie, $9999/day.

Either someone has mistyped "99.99", or more likely (based on the other rates not ending in .99) they are expecting 9999 to be masked out as some form of "vehicle not available"

That said, if someone did book that rate I'm sure they'd be happy to go and buy a new van just to rent to you for a few days
