Las Vegas rental car option

I have reserved a Dollar rental car for a week, and now see that I can get the same size car from Payless for $50 less. Does anybody have experience renting from Payless? We've never had any issues with Dollar, but would switch for the lower cost, if Payless has been issue-free for others. I'd love to get some feedback. Thanks!

We've rented from Payless multiple times without problems, but not in LV. There, I've used Priceline to get a good rate.

Best price I ever got in LV was with Alamo/National. I got it by bidding $14/day on Priceline.
Anybody but Fox will be fine.
The car I got with National had less than 1000 miles on it when I picked it up.

My issue has always been avoiding the charge for an additional driver in Vegas. There are ways around this, of course, such as joining a rental car's auto club. We're finding the best price this trip with Alamo.

Unless you're going out of town, like Hoover Dam, I would suggest not renting a car and taking taxis.

They are pretty cheap, as distances are not great.

Appreciate your replies! We're heading north to St. George, Utah, so we do need a car. I'll check with Alamo, and might also try Priceline. Thanks!

Actually you just have to keep checking which ever car rental you want to go with... you can always get a cheap rate.

I got 10 days for $177 in mid August with Budget! Initially it was $430. I just went back everyday and checked the rates.
