Can anyone suggest how I might begin to find a car with a reasonable rate....thank you.

Try a priceline bid for a full size or premmium. I do not know what the laws are as far as "pre teens" in the front seat, but that may restrict you to SUV's and vans if they such a law.
I would suggest to start bidding for a full size at about 22 a day and have several emails handy in case they input bid restrictions (which happens). walk your way up until your bid gets accepted. when its accepted, priceline will offer you upgrades within their system for x dollars more per day. use those options to decide which would be best.
remember that you will be locked into this deal no matter what, itll be prepaid.
You could also try hotwire, but they will be a tad more expensive, but there you can see the prices without comittment.
