Rented at SBA a couple weekends ago. The only think bookable at any kind of remotely reasonable rate was a pickup truck from Alamo for $35/day. Economy cars were like $70+.

When I arrived I let the agent know I didn't really need the truck, and he was happy to give me a Camry instead.

Seems to vary widely by location. Had to go with Turo in PHX a couple months ago. Got an absolute piece of crap Nissan Sentra that broke down halfway through the rental. I do not recommend Turo, unless you're using it to rent an exotic car. (They seem to have two main markets at the extreme opposite end of the rental car spectrum.)
