October 18-25 (or 26 depends if I leave the car in JFK) so that's a weekly rental. I have gone thru Hotwire and the cheapest that came up is $300 (Oct 18-25) and $302 (Oct 18-26) for an economy car. The airport concession fees and surcharges are adding to the cost too much. It sucks too that these charges are not flat fees but a percentage of the actual cost of the rental which doesn't make sense. Perhaps a cost close to $200 is ideal and even if I have to pick it up in Newark. I will be driving up Northeast to CT and to MA.


Moderator Comment: This new list for requests is a bit more tailored toward cars.

Before posting your request, make sure to check out the codes in this thread, especially the original post. Then, look over the last 5 or 6 pages for code updates. If you have done that and tried at least 3 codes and/or companies, you’re ready to post your request.

1) Title should start with the word "REQUEST" (e.g. "REQUEST – Car Rental at LAX")
2) Dates you plan to travel. Being as specific as possible is a must. If times can be a little flexible, please indicate that.
3) Departure and Destination.
4) What you have found so far in your own research. Please make sure to have tried at least 3 different codes and/or companies. Please supply the rates you received with each code and/or company (This prevents duplication of research and is a great way to inform the community of what is out there!) — Sep. 30, 2009 @ 7:49pm

What's unclear about taxes based on % ?? Ever hear of sales taxes?
