Best Rate Car Rental Company
 
Has anyone rented from Best Rate Care Rental Co. at the Miami airport? Their prices are well below the competition.

I went to their site and came out confused. I don't get it. Is it a consolidator that offers you cars from various regular rental agencies? If so, why is their site filled with putting down all those major agencies, saying they're too big and won't give you service? Won't you still be dependent upon those companies' service to get your car? I just didn't get the whole thing.

I wouldn't go with a carrier I don't know, especially in FL, where car rental rates are dirt cheap. You can find some of the main carriers offering specials in FL constantly, you just have to keep checking the web sites.

I just reserved an SUV in Miami for $26 a day which is cheap by any standard from Budget. I've never paid more than $27 a day for ANY type of car in FL regardless of carrier. The cheapest I found was $17.99 through Budget in Ft. Lauderdale last year.

Miami Airport and vicinity is no place to be dealing with anything other than a trusted name, even if it costs you a few more dollars. FL rentals are generally inexpensive.

Go to bnm.com. It's a guide to quick comparisons for all majors, and some minors. I reserved a convertible (Sebring, I believe,) with Thrifty, at MIA, for a week starting next Thurs., with dropoff in Key West, for $199. plus taxes. I agree--stick with the majors.
