Obscenely ridiculous. I tried to reserve from both Avis and National for a week long trip to TPA. Both were charing $300+ taxes for an intermediate. This was 4 months in advance.

I got lucky, remembered my corporate account, and used that with National for $185+ taxes.

Never did I think the day would come where a corporate rate would be less expensive than a 4 month advance purchase using a Costco discount code.
