Cookie2boys Posted July 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Just booked post cruise rental. Ship returns on a Saturday. Flight on Sunday. Picking up at Port Canaveral and returning rental at Airport. Cost is just over $200. I was thinking it would run around $70 or $80. Is it always this expensive for a one day rental if returning at an Airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2017 More expensive than any we have done with Avis. Our cost is normally around $60 plus gas for a full size. More for a minivan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LHT28 Posted July 20, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 20, 2017 If you are renting a van or SUV it will cost a lot more than a mid size car how many people are in your party ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted July 20, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Keep shopping and looking for discount codes - rental car rates change more often than air fare :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted July 20, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Try pricing online using Costco....we usually always get the best rates with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnvoldude Posted July 20, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 20, 2017 If over 24 hours = 2 day rental. Check gasbuddy dot com for gas - the closest station to the airport used to be double $$ per gallon and did not have prices posted on sign.

BlueHerons Posted July 20, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 20, 2017 What are your dates? Easter Sunday? President's Week? Yes, that rate is accurate. September? That rate is way out of line. Your time frame would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie2boys Posted July 24, 2017 Author #19 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Thanks for all of your help. The best I've came up with so far thanks to your help is to get a $60 membership from Costco and get a rental for $71. So that's a $40 savings with a years membership at Costco. Win Win!!!!!

idav44 Posted July 25, 2017 #22 Share Posted July 25, 2017 If you are looking at Avis they seem to have increased their drop off charge. I usually rent a car to travel from home and drop off at the airport. Avis is now charging a 300 dollar drop off charge on top of the 60 dollar rental. With taxes it's over 386 dollars for a one day rental. Shop around for better deals Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
