I think it helped that we picked up from a non-airport location, but was still reasonable compared to some of the other sites charging upwards of $60 a day and then a drop fee.
Wow, that's a GREAT rate! I am trying to book the same itinerary and am getting $221AUD per week but Hertz is adding a $300 drop off fee (via vroomvroomvroom). Not cheap

And all the other companies are worse. Perhaps it's my dates (late Feb)
