I was just on Hotwire and they have deals for $12-15 a day. Which is rad. But it doesn't say exactly what car you get. I don't want to show up and be like... yaris. **** that!
A fiat 500 is exactly what I had in mind. Enough pep to get around and should get solid mpg all the way there and back. Or the hopes was to get something and try to talk my way in to an upgrade.
Got bumped from a jeep to a convertible once and we got offered a charger rt down in la instead of the traverse we got. But we had 4 people and luggage... charger no bueno.
So I can either do the hotwire deal and cross my fingers or just call some places... only problem is I can't get to the phone calls for another couple horus.

Not that anyone would ever go to Lancaster, but if you do - check out Kinetic Brewing Co - it is amazing and IMHO worth a trip to Lancaster (I can't believe I said that).

Enterprise weekend specials: compact compact car with unlimited miles= 19.99/day +tax
Full size car with unlimited miles= 24.99/day
But I'm not sure they have the specials anymore. I'd help but I'm out for the whole weekend...good luck to you

I cant really even rent a car yet!
But I know my parent's have stuck with enterprise when needed.

I used to do a lot of traveling for work when I was 20-21 and Enterprise was the only one that would rent to under 25. I learned that in London when Hertz wouldn't honor my reservation because I was only 20.

so u want a Budget rental? seriously if your not willing to drive a POS don't rent a car
these cars are stinky used and abused new cars
I love them and rent regularly but I keep my standards low.
My advise: bring a air freshener and expect to have to take it to have the car ran thru the full service car wash if tou get a dirty one

I didnt read the rest of this thread, so sorry if someone mentioned it. Enterprise has a 3 day rental (fri-sun) for $29.99. It's a decent car too, last time I got an impala which was pretty damn peppy (Though I think that was a free $10 upgrade due to my height). My friend got a Dodge Magnum. Anyway, don't opt for their insurance, makes it cost way more... Yours is just fine.

Private run is the only way to go. Look at slow *** NASA and how much everything costs them... Now look at SPACE X and look how fast they have evolved and for a fraction of the cost.
NASA sucks.
