I only signed up for gold now because you have to be 21 to sign up, and in the past I wasn’t.

I also just very much prefer to fly in/out of ISP, but since the Hertz branch there closed I can’t rent a car without paying way to much for a car.

To give you an idea, if I rented enterprise for the same LGA trip my car would have been almost $500 for 4 days. With Hertz and AAA it was around $250.
Makes sense. Any chance you can qualify for USAA? That would solve your problem and give you much greater selection of companies to choose from.
