Welcome to FlyerTalk!
What is the best rate you have found (with or without tax) so far? Will you be taking any of the optional insurance, like third-party liability or loss/damage waiver? Will you be paying with a credit card which offers its own free insurance against rental car loss or damage?
You might find that booking for four weeks -- rather than thirty days -- yields a lower average daily rate.
The AARP rate includes a small amount of third-party liability insurance (25/50/10), and limits your liability for loss of or damage to the rental car to $5,000. Even those under 50 can join AARP as an "Associate" member for $16/year.
Here's the AARP rate (including tax but excluding optional insurance) for a four-week rental (June 3-July 1) for a full-size at Budget Medford. A compact is about $125 cheaper.
For a thirty-day rental (June 3-July 3), the total with tax for a full-size jumps $200, so you'd be paying an extra $100/day for those two extra days!
