Help with a long rental out of Santa Fe, NM
Hello,
I am trying to help my brother rent a car for a long trip out of Santa Fe, NM. We are hoping to offset the rental car cost with the benefit of a higher MPG than he gets from his old Jeep.
I spent a lot of time looking through the Hertz/Budget threads yesterday and ended up with a rate of that totaled: $489.82 using UNITED A\L FF DISCOUNT and PC: 166401. The rate does not include insurance. My brother can pickup anywhere in Santa Fe, NM and will be driving all the way to Chicago then back. Hoping one of the wizards on here can help:
Pickup Location (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): Santa Fe, NM (HLE or Airport)
Dropoff Location (if different) (airport, city, or ZIP code/postcode): Same
Pickup Date and Time:9-27-12, Noonish
Return Date and Time:10-16-12, Noonish
Vehicle Size Preference:Compact (or another car with 4 doors and high MPG)
Memberships (AAA/USAA/etc): None, but if I need to make an account that includes free membership I will do it.
I'd appreciate any help you could offer.
Thank you.

Rental Car for Formula 1 Weekend in Austin, TX
Hi all,
I've never rented a car, so need some help.
I'm going to Austin, TX for Formula 1 weekend in November and trying to figure out the most cost effective way to rent a car there.
Location: AUS airport
Pick up: Nov 16 at 3pm
Drop off: Nov 19 at 6am
Car size: don't care
I don't specifically need Hertz, but can do any of the rental agencies as long as it's cheap.
The best rate I found was through Budget/Avis for Intermediate size car by redeeming 1000 AA miles+$88
