Maybe someone can give a hint where else to look to compare to still drop this price?
But more I want to try to lower the price from JFK to IAD (becouse my route goes from JFK to LAX, but on ONE RENTAL contract from JFK - to LAX prices are higher - as described in my previous post)
So my questions still would be:
1) Anybody knows if there is any company (Hertz, Alamo, Dollar etc.) which would not charge one way fee between JFK - IAD?Or which one charges the less?
2) Maybe someone could find cheaper price on the route JFK - IAD for those 3 days from 06/21 to 06/24? 250 USD(already with one way fee, LDW,SLI,taxes) is pretty a lot for 3 days.
3) Any recenet life stories from National about checking qualifications to use these codes? I have read all posted already
Thank you for your comments.

I've never heard of the Oregon code: did you try the Ohio one?
Honestly, you probably are at risk of getting grief on this rental because, I'm guessing, you're a foreigner, right? And your rental is very, very unusual. In other words, it might seem suspicious to the rental counter agent, and you will probably present yourself as somebody unlikely to be "qualified" for that rate. So I think it would be wise to try to book a rate (or at least have a back-up rate) for an easy-to-qualify rate. Have you priced this from the Europe search engines? Also google National Car KLM rate to see if it works.
If a "suspicious" code does save you lots of money, just have a back up plan. Because I think there's at least a 25% chance you'll "have a problem" on this kind of rental.
