Comparison:

The Orbitz Web site showed prices starting at $25/day. The best deal I could get from the Avis Web site http://www.avis.com was the total of $175.88 for 5 days (about $28.80/day) for a subcompact (economy class) car. The Enterprise Web site offered the total of $137.50 for 5 days for a subcompact car, but that included a corporate discount.
