I'm still finding ridiculous rates ($100+) for one day rentals, and others much higher than usual...While I did get a $35 Thrifty rental at MCI earlier this month, that was very unusual this year. Typically, if I must have a car on a trip, I have wound up going with Avis with a corporate rate of about $52-64 a day; otherwise trying to get a decent rate through Priceline, which has worked a few times.
ie - $100+ per day for SFO or SMF in early November $35 for Las Vegas per day for a subcompact in late September...(I recently got a $22 rate for the Vegas trip through Priceline as prices have NOT dropped..or only a few dollars at most)
Same $100+ per day for BWI, EWR, BOS, PVD, etc. in October...
So for those who thought $300 a week was too high a year ago....how about $100 per day?
As I mentioned in another thread under Thrifty, I refuse to pay those kind of rates and in several instances this summer have just skipped the rental and gone with airport shuttles...
