I actually found a company with a rate that was about the same with a location a lot closer to my house. Only 5 miles instead of the 25 miles it takes to get to the airport ( which is the cheapest rate location i got using HOTWIRE ). But I figure to make up the difference in the cost of the gas.

Ok .. I've searched thru the forums and haven't found my answer so here goes .. I'm looking to rent a car in Minneapolis for a 4 day trip. All the other car rental places are quoting me prices of about $200-$220 for the total cost. But upon checking Hotwire I can get a smaller SUV .. Toyota Rav4 or similar according to the Hotwire site for $11.95 per day and a grand total of $75 !!! This is where the old saying of " If it seems too good to be true, it probably is " kicks in. The only thing that makes me wonder is the part But as I understand it .. all this means is that you don't know which car rental agency you're going to get the car from up front .. you learn that after you make the booking. So you pay Hotwire, they give you all the info on the car rental place and reservation after you book ... then I'm assuming you call the care rental agency to confirm the reservation and thats it ? It just seems too good to be true. Thanks
