PHL area to JFK and Back
Needed to get 7 passengers PHL-STT for a family vaca. Gone are the days the great USAir routes and pricing out of PHL, so booked JFK for decent fares and non-stop routing. Initially thought my 7 pax SUV would get us up and back and we'd pay roughly $180 for parking for 10 days (parking priced and reserved).
Now thinking about luggage. When open, my third row leaves almost no room for luggage. Could use my softside rooftop carrier, but it's a hassle to attach and load.
Thinking of renting 2 cars for the ride up (one day rental) - and again for the ride back. Found codes to get from my residence area to JFK, one way, $35/day with .27 per mi fee. Haven't even yet checked the return rate from JFK.
Can anyone recommend a code to keep the roundtrip (rental and miles for 2 cars) under $200?
Thanks a million.

The luggage carrier might be your best bet here. I'd say do SEPTA/NJ Transit/Airtrain, but with 7 people, that's not going to be cheap either.

One question
I used Ohio State code (National) for one way rental in SFO. When I booked rate shown was 254 USD for a week rental. I picked up car from Aisle (It was a premium car but kept in Executive aisle). No question was asked but when I returned the car at LAX, I got a bill of 305 USD. I was charged for Intermediate car where it should be charged for midsize. Do you guys think its worth for me to contact National on this? Will National see the code and then ask me to provide ID details? Any suggestions.

I have been following this thread for couple days. I want to rent a minivan one way from Chicago to Boston. My own contract ID does give great discount but includes no mileage. So I am trying to see anyone has recently used the OSU code, not using the Aisle and can share their experience with me?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Oh, so pleased to have found this thread. Just reserved a one way ride out of PIT for 35-40% lower than the next cheapest option w/ unlimited miles (and an EA car vs. compact car w/ avis).
I read through the earlier threads and used the Big Ten leisure rate, which has no insurance (perfect).
Since there is an EA at PIT, i expect no problems.
Thank you, thank you!

I did my trip June/July from East Coast to LA.
I did use ORE code(this one worked for me the best), I also signed up for EC member of National.
I used Emerald Aisle so I just showed confirmation of reservation, driving license, CC at the gate at the exit.
Noone asked about ID with this Corporate Code.
Even I had to go back on the same day to the rental place, to fix my contract becouse guy at the gate added some extras to my rental that I didn't wanted( I have noticed that already in the hotel room) and they couldnt fix it over a phone, so I had to go back to airport and go to the counter and work it out with a MOD of National Car Rental.
