carrentalexpress

I often use a site called carrentalexpress (CRX) to book cars through independent car rental agencies or to determine how high to bid on Priceline. In markets where there are affiliates to this site, expecially on short reservations or 7 day reservations, the prices are often very good. I have rented from several of these independent companies in Florida, Vegas and California and have had generally good experiences. Probably the only downside has been occasional longer wait times to get my car than average for the big companies.

Right now, I am looking for an economy car (would be glad to actually get one and save some gas money, too, but they virtually always give you something bigger) for the 20th of July to the 24th in the morning in Ft. Lauderdale. It seems everywhere else the prices I get are over $150. Right now there is a company offering that itinerary on CRX for under $104. The priceline dollar amount I would have to bid to get under that is $14 per day with all the taxes and fees. They have rejected bids for $15.

If anybody has any information about cheaper stuff available at Ft. Lauderdale, I am all ears.

CRX has an affiliate program, it seems, so maybe this site would consider adding a link. I didn't see one on the links page.

I don't know how it compares to other affiliate programs, but it says they pay $3 per referral to other sites that link to them.
