Where is the cheapest place to rent a car for the weekend?
Enterprise is pretty cheap especially if you have a corporate account. There may be some local Heimish rentals that have good deals ask around.
Hello Kitty-
It’s difficult to recommend without knowing your location, mileage requirements and number of passengers (vehicle size requirement).
In Brooklyn, I’ll recommend:
Speedy Rent A Car
4515 18th Ave , Brooklyn
NY , US , 11204
Phone: 718-871-1100
My recommendation is based on personal experiences dealing with them.
The place is run by two Chasidishe brothers, Abe and Yanky.
They are pleasant, accommodating and extremely honest.
I’ve dealt with them several times over the years (their collision shop, too), and have always been satisfied.
If you have a high-mileage trip planned, make sure to reach an accommodation beforehand; i.e. pay a little more and don’t get socked with a mileage fee.
of the big companies, I’ve always liked Alamo and Enterprise.
Be aware that most rental companies will try to sell you insurance and make you feel very vulnerable to tsuris if you don’t take it.
HOWEVER, you should know that if you have a car that you own and insure, the rental is probably covered under THAT insurance (check with your company to be positive)- AND if you are paying for the rental with a major credit card, your credit card company also usually includes insurance coverage for rental cars (check with your credit card company to be sure).
If you are renting for a week or more, this can represent a savings of at least a few hundred dollars by declining the rental car company insurance!!!
A word caution RE “your insurance / credit card will cover the damage” they may pay for actual damage, they will not pay for the time the car is out of service.
Don’t skimp on the extra $12 for full coverage. You can live without the insurance on your personal property, but the car should be covered to the hilt
We always use Just For Wheels-next to Ateres Chynka (don’t know the exaxt address-sorry!) and we were very happy with them, The price was really good and they are very good to work with.
Where can I rent a cheap convertible for a few days?
I posted somewhere else on these boards that IMHO Hertz has great rates and has just opened a new location in Brooklyn with beautiful cars.
In my Yeshiva we use the Yeshiva Student Association which gives up to 25%off, the CDP# is 1876837.
