Hi, I posted a similar question for a previous holiday some time ago and was wondering if anyone has an update. We'll be flying from the UK in the Spring lakefront vacation rentals texas of 2013 to Austin, Texas. We're renting lakefront vacation rentals texas a car for 14 days and will be ending up in Little Rock AR. Is a rental car drop-off fee inevitable? We'll want an SUV, so any suggestions as to where to get the best rates would be helpful.
When you return the car to Dallas, take Amtrak train #22 to Little Rock. The drawback is that the train arrives in Little Rock at 11:31PM. The train leaves Dallas at 3:40PM which makes it a 8 hour trip. The fare is $91/pp which would beat the drop off fee.
Thanks guys, but our plane goes to Austin via Chicago and we've already booked lakefront vacation rentals texas it. Our road trip takes us into Louisiana, Mississippi and Memphis, before finishing lakefront vacation rentals texas in Little Rock. I've checked the big car rental companies and they all seem to have the drop-off fee. The best I can find for a midsize SUV for 14 days is $670 with Alamo, via ebookers.com , which includes a $150 drop-off fee. I suppose lakefront vacation rentals texas that's not too bad. What do you think?
Are you a UK citizen? If not, you can still book at hertz.co.uk as long as you make the booking in the U.K. Hertz might, but probably won't, ask for verification that you were in the U.K. at the time you made the booking.
As it is a manageable 515 miles between Dallas and Little Rock, a likely way to slash costs considerably would be to hit the ground in Austin, rent a car (or even TWO, if need be)... for a quick one-way rental TO Little Rock ... where you would then pick-up the SUV for your 2-week rental, returning it in the same place two weeks later.
Of course you'd have to price this with ALL things considered (including gas)... but the rate you cite isn't bad at all... that is like, FIFTY dollars a day including the one-way fee for an SUV , no less.
I think NW meant Austin to Lil Rock. Although, I don't understand his statement about renting two cars(or lakefront vacation rentals texas even one for that matter), then driving all the way to Little Rock to rent an SUV. You now will have two drop fees if you rented two cars.
It seems a bit odd to me to fly in from the UK to Austin and depart out of Little Rock too. I would assume things would be much easier, cheaper, and less connections to fly on AA from Dallas or Delta from Atlanta or Memphis.
However, lakefront vacation rentals texas even when there is no drop-off fee ... the daily rate tends to be SKY HIGH on one-way rentals... so anybody would know to rent a one-way sedan (or two)... for a quick trip from (yes,) Austin to Little Rock (520 miles)... and only then get the SUV (at the higher rate) for a one-location rental/drop-off.
