Thought I'd see if this thread is active at all... anyone find anything for the following:
Pickup Location: RIC
Dropoff Location : RIC
Pickup Date and Time: 8/7 9:30pm
Return Date and Time: 8/9 5:30pm
Vehicle Size Preference: Any
Memberships: AAA
Best Price you've found, Hertz or otherwise: 73.91/d (189.86 total) ACAR economy, 79.55/d (201.82 total) EXAR manager special
Usually can get the above for under 20/d so not sure whats going on.
EDIT: Hertz dropped their rates to ~25/d so no need for this request any more.

Thanks, am hoping to find something better with Hertz though. Otherwise if I rent from someone else I'll just cheap it and go with Dollar or some similar bottom-feeder.
