Any thoughts, advice, or experience on which car rental agency is better (service, etc.) from the AIRPORT?

Got quotes from both companies for 6 day rental which would include taxes: Budget - compact $194.87 & Avis - intermediate $225.21

We have always used Dependable Car Rental - http://www.dependablecar.com . They are not located at the airport but as soon as you land you call them on the phone and they are their by the time you get your baggage. They are a small family company and have always gone out of their way to help us out even when I messed up my reservations. We would rather do business with a small locally owned company than a national organization but that is us. If you give them a call tell them Rick & Deb said hello and we'll see them soon.

Thanks for the suggestion but I gave them a call and their rate for my dates was a lot more than the other two national companies.

I forget but I think high $200's or mid $300's for 6 days, not including tax.

Btw, I decided to go with Budget and save $30 to spend on food!

What is a good price for a 1 day rental? I am coming in on a cruise and have reserve a car through Budget for $54.

That price sounds good for one day.
