And even when I look at Alamo, they are cheaper than others but.... last weekend in MEM, I looked at Alamo's price for a car online, then Hotwire's price was $30 cheaper!!!.
I think others have mentioned that the miles are not that significant, and I would agree. I just take the rental points. I have more than I'll probably ever use.

I use Hertz, and my company has a discount that is pretty significant in some cases (only 5% in others). You might want to check to see if your company has something similar. I had a Hertz agent look up our rate codes (after I showed a business card).
