kgemail Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Hi everyone, I am trying to rent a car after flying into jfk. I am heading to upstate NY for a little over a week and the lowest price I can find is $52/day on hotwire. Is that really the lowest I will be able to get? Unfortunately it is 4th of July weekend when the rental will begin (7/3-7/12). I can always try a one way rental as well and return it 7/4 and just carpool with family for the rest of the week and hitch a ride back but I'd rather have my own car and I'm not sure if that is even possible! Any help would be appreciated, Thanks! Link to comment

kgemail Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Heading to Speculator, NY, but there are definitely no rental car locations there :) So I called hertz, and they said it will be $300 for a one way rental for ONE day (if I were to drop it off after getting there) and $600 for the week. Neither options are sounding great to me... Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 If you can get to Manhattan from JFK, is there bus or train service to someplace nearby where your family could pick you up?If the above rates are not acceptable, what is your budget for this rental (or for some other means to make it work)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

kgemail Posted June 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I had budgeted about $20-30/day for a rental car for the week...but then when the lowest possible was $52/day I was surprised, just hoping someone here had some ideas :) If not I will meet up with family and try that! Thanks for your help! Link to comment
