Cheapest car rental company out of LAX? Anyone have any favorites or know ways to score an awesome deal?
Joel V. replied:
I use Kayak.com to compare all companies with my dates/needs. Then I make a reservation with the best value, without making any payment. Then, as the actual arrival dates gets closer you can check again and if you find a better value, make a reservation for that and cancel your initial reservation. Also if you are a Costco Member then search Costco Travel as they have good prices and some added perks like Spouse drives free. Lastly, I avoid all of the extra insurance they sell at the counter and instead do the research with our insurance company ahead of time, as well as make the payment with a card that includes extra insurance coverage on rental cars (all AmEx, Visa Signature, and others too). Good luck!
