rental car companies

[juldea]

Can anyone recommend or discommend rental car companies? I'm doing a bit of research.

Also, if you know of a company that doesn't do an under-25 driver fee, please let me know. Just 6 more months...

If you're talking for local or long term rental, I really don't have much experience with that. My car rental is usually when I've flown someplace, and I need a car while there. In that mode, consistency and convenience outweigh price as factors. It's also been too long since an under-25 fee might have been relevant in my case to recall.

Overall, I've had the most positive experience with Avis. They generally edge out Hertz in my experience, though I'll use Hertz without qualms if they're notably cheaper than Avis in a given market. I've had very mixed results with Budget, and tend to avoid them these days, if Avis or Hertz is an option. I've never used Alamo, though former co-workers have, and they tended to avoid them, afterwards.

londo and I have a need to be in Philadelphia in mid-October, and neither of us have a car. I, however, have a driver's license. I'm just trying to look at different ways of getting there...

Things are, in general, looking more expensive than I'd like. I get a 5% Hertz discount from my bank which is nice, but it's still $72 for the weekend and I don't know if they'll offer to someone under 25. Sigheth.

I have not yet taken the step of asking friends with cars if they're willing to rent theirs out for a weekend, though. :)

which weekend?
