Looks like I am coming down next month for a little impromptu island time.

What rental car rates are you all finding for a week this winter? I don't feel like searching. The accommodations search and USAir's terrible phone agents have worn me out.

Budget wants $179/wk plus tax. Does that sound good?

I originally booked a compact car at Budget for that same rate Feb 5 - 11. I recently reviewed all rates again and found it to be the same. We did upgrade to a Tauras (or similar) since we now have 5 adults in our party (and will pay an extra $30 for the week). Good Luck and have a great time!

scooby-

I'll be there from 2/16 - 2/21 - long holiday weekend. I'll be one of those people I usually feel sorry for when I am there on my two week vacation.....5 nights? what a tease.

thanks for your input on the car deals. Budget wants $175 without tax and fees, so I'm sure those will add quite a bit. Thinking of renting from Sapphire instead of airport to save on the airport tax.

Looks like I'll miss you by a few days. 🙁
