Jan Trip SF- LA.. HELP! 20090920072308
the funniest thing... avis turns out to be the cheapest.. isn't that weird? thought they were quite premium. And the weirder thing is, the one way rental was only about 10 bucks more than if I were to return it back to SF. e.g 9 days for a sub compact was 319.30USD, and one way drop off to LAX was 328.33. I'm just abit worried that there's some sorta website problem and when I get there my booking woudln't be honoured cos I've read so many horror stories!! Any chance of that? Also, this subcompact (chev areo). i'm not sure if it's big enough? it's 3 of us and we're quite big.. and the car looks small.. i'm wonderin if it'd be underpowered with us in it and we'd have to stuff the back seat with some baggage too i'm foreseeing. The compact size(chev cobalt) was 402.85, and the intermediate was 415.66.. so seeing the compact and intermediate was so lil diff in price it doesn't make sense for me to get the compact.

car hire new york: labour day weekend, convertible 20090824072346
Hi Simon Labor Day week-end is the last big 3-day holiday weekend at the end of summer. I'm not surprised you're having problems finding a convertible. If you just have to have that 'sun in your face, wind in your hair" you might have to shuffle your dates a bit. BTW, I checked Hertz and Avis (pick-up LGA) for you and both are sold out of convertibles over your dates. As RT said try- Dollar, Budget, National, Enterprise, Alamo. They all operate out of LGA..
