How do you get a great deal on a rental car?

Dont' rent it at the airport . Doing that can save you up to 50% on a rental car. There are a couple of problems with doing that however

First most local offices are not open much beyond 6 ;00 pm and usually close befoe noon on Sat and have a limited supply of vehicles so you'll have to reserve one

Many local offices are not open on Sundays

Getting to the local office can be an adventure and cost you a couple of bucks but in many cases the nearest local officce is a short cab or local bus ride away from the airport

Case in point

Hertz and the car is a Chevy Impala

Net savings $ 209.35
