Thanks for the response and suggestions. Pickup December 14 dropoff the 18th (4 days) in Madison, WI. Right now I have one reserved at the Sears Auto Center location for ~$300. I looked into Costco discounts but the only one that works is for a location on the other side of town and not worth the hassle for $20-$30 savings. My current vehicle is a small SUV but with 4 adults, an infant seat, and luggage it is just too tight, and with a little over 1000 miles for this trip I think doubling the gas cost would eat any savings of renting two smaller vehicles. I'm prepared to go with what I have (and $300 is actually quite a bit lower than the competitors) but just a little frustrated with what seems like price gauging a captive market. I've tried a few of these one-way codes but have not had much luck with them, probably due to the "premium" vehicle.
