It appeared, at first glance, that the cheapest long term car rental rates I found were with Dollar

My boyfriend and I will be driving small cruise ships from Washington DC to Ketchum, small cruise ships Idaho this winter and back. Our car isn't in shape for the trip so we are exploring renting an SUV. Do you have any recommendations on car rental companies?
We would need a rental agreement with high or no mileage limit (the drive itself is almost 5K miles), we would need to be able to drive cross country. We will be staying in Ketchum for a month and a half so we would need the rental for about 48 days. Since we are taking our two dogs and ski equipment it would need to be a good size SUV.
My Response: When looking for the best rates on monthly car rentals (or in your case, a large Sport Utility Vehicle) small cruise ships , your best bet is to compare rates from several companies. I believe that there is never one best company in general; there is only a best car rental company for a particular rental... it can vary from city to city, with different dates, vehicle types, etc.
Because of the length small cruise ships of your rental (48 days) and the type of vehicle (large suv) you're looking at a costly rental. Comparing prices, small cruise ships especially when researching long term car rental rates, is important. When you're looking at renting a specialty vehicle, like an SUV, especially for more than a few weeks, you should check rate from each company individually... as many companies as you feel you have the time to do.
Normally, I recommend going first to a booking site, like Travelocity, to compare rates quickly, but when searching for long term car rental rates on an SUV, I wanted to be more specific. (there are usually 3 sizes of SUV's carried, so I wanted to make sure that the rate I saw was for the size SUV I wanted)
To get an idea of some long term rental small cruise ships car rates for you, I checked for Washington, DC locations for Jan 2-Feb 19 (I don't know your dates, but just wanted an idea for a 48 day rental) for a Standard size SUV (Chevy Trailblazer or similar. I chose the cheapest locations (off airport if possible) that offered unlimited small cruise ships mileage. (All car rental company links open in a new window)
It appeared, at first glance, that the cheapest long term car rental rates I found were with Dollar or Thrifty , followed by Avis , Budget , Alamo , Hertz and National. (I couldn't find an unlimited mileage rate with Enterprise.)
My first thought is that you could ask Dollar or Thrifty if it would be possible for you to renew the contract at their closest location small cruise ships to Ketchum, but I couldn't find a Dollar or Thrifty location within 100 miles of Ketchum.
small cruise ships If you have a discount code for any car rental company, you should check prices with that as well. There are hundreds of membership programs (ie frequent flyer programs, automobile clubs) small cruise ships and professional associations that offer car rental discount codes to their members. You can find a list of over 350 car rental discount codes for 8 major car rental companies, here on this site on our discount codes page.
The other thing that you will want to look at when determining long term car rental rate, is whether or not you will be purchasing the optional Loss Damage Waiver and factoring that into your price as well.
Alamo, Avis, Budget, Hertz and National offered an optional loss damage waiver on a large SUV for an extra $29.99 per day. That ups your price considerably. There was no pricing given through Dollar or Thrifty for the damage waivers... their websites stated that such information would be provided at the rental counter.
You can always, of course, decline coverage at the rental counter. Many people do so, because they are covered already by their own personal automobile insurance policy or their credit card. Before you decide, you should look into the terms and conditions of possible coverage that you may have, both through your own automobile insurance provider and your credit card. I mention this, because I think that almost all credit card rental insurance coverage is limited to a rental of a certain time frame. Some credit card coverage only covers rentals of 15 days or less and some on rentals of 30 days or less. Know before you go!!
