I am renting a honda civic for five days at the cost of 220 bucks plus tax. I get 1100 miles for those five days.

The car has Cassette, Cruise, Power windows & locks.

Is this a good deal?

Can you save money by lowering the mileage? I mean do you drive 220 miles a day?

Assuming 6% tax...about $47 a day. Eh. It's okay, not real high or real low.

Can't lower the mileage because I have to drive from Atlanta to Birmingham, drive around Birmingham and then go back to Atlanta.

Would it be any cheaper to rent it for a week? Also, what company? I've found enterprise to be very reasonable.

That's awfully expensive. Are you at least 25 years old?

Edit: Nevermind. Apparently car rentals in Atlanta are outrageously expensive.

I am 19, so I have to rent from non-chain rental place. Renting it for a week would be more. This is how the pricing breaks down

76.99 Weekend

46.99 Monday and Tuesday

0 For Wednesday if I return the car in the afternoon.

10 dollars per day under 21 fee.


Yes, not the best of things but it was less than I expected.
