I've used Dollar in Newark and NYC and they seemed fine. We had booked a economy actually and got upgraded to a 300c. :O

Thirfty and dollar have alot of the same cars so if you order say...fullsize. Order the 2 door and save some money...as i said....they don't have 2 door fullsize cars I
I searched for a long time and don't think you will do any better in price IF you want Dollar.

Yeah, had a look at the Dollar and the Thrifty sites, and to be honest, they are identical sites with Thrifty rates coming in about £20 cheaper at the moment.

Think I will go premium rather than fullsize since you only live once, and really I couldn't drive in the US in anything other than a nice big V8

Many thanks for the advice - are the rates likely to get better or worse closer to departure?

rates may swing with the exchange rate somewhat...anyones guess really

they dont seem to ramp up the prices for last minute bookings though

Opps i made a boo boo I see..when I mentioned we got upgraded to a 300c I ment it was a 300 touring!

Anyways...it's a mooooth car to drive in...and GREAT for traveling. Fingers crossed though we get a Charger this time haha although I won't complain too much if we get a 300 lol.

Hope you get the car ya want
