Best we were able to do was $596.63 with Budget (or, since you put a ZIP code in, $487.18 at a nearby offsite Budget), but that is not an all-inclusive rate. Probably best to stick with the all-inclusive rate to avoid paying 12 days of insurance at probably $50/day on top of the rate.

Here are some alternatives with Dollar (as low as $206 for a compact) and National that won't require you to show an employee ID.

One day one way to NYC
I am looking for a one day (5/31 to 6/1) one way rental of a Minivan from PIT to NYC (JFK, LGA, or any location in Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Queens). The best rate I can find is more than $250 ai. Any CDP, coupon, or other suggestion to find a better rate is greatly appreciated!

Still, we were able to find as low as $192.35 with Budget or $230.59 with Hertz.
Hope that helps!

One-ways can be a bit more difficult to find discounts on, as many PC codes are not valid on one-ways and many CDPs don't give expected results.
Still, we were able to find as low as $192.35 with Budget or $230.59 with Hertz.
Hope that helps!

For a Standard SUV, we got $353.66 as well with Budget (Intermediate SUVs were actually more expensive, believe it or not). Hertz was $473.46 on the SUV.

If by MCAR you meant midsize, then $136 at Avis or $161.14 at Hertz (excluding LDW, of course). Not sure why Hertz's site wasn't showing one available, as it's there now. A few bucks more for the SCAR if you want that instead.
