car rental in Los Angeles area
I need to rent a car in California for 4 days. Ideally, I'd like to pick it up at the Burbank airport (I'm staying very near there) and drop it off at LAX. However, not all rental agencies will allow that; the ones that do are much more expensive, and I'd save well over a hundred dollars if I just dropped the car off again at Burbank. For a Canadian dealing with US dollars, that's pretty substantial! However, I wonder if anybody can tell me the approximate taxi fare from Burbank to LAX, or if there is a reasonable alternative (bus?) so that I can see how feasible that would be. Thanks!

Nikki, thank you! That's basically what I needed to know. The hotel I'm staying at has a shuttle to and from the Burbank airport; I can return the car to Burbank and hop on the shuttle back to the hotel, and then cab to LAX. I realize it will cost a lot, but it's less than I'd have to pay if I dropped the rental car at LAX. I'm heading out around midday, so the traffic shouldn't be too desperately bad - I hope! Thanks very much for the info.

National, Budget, Avis and Hertz usually have no drop fees between these two airports. Check the rates often as they do change. 4 days, with drop at LAX, should be in the $150 range. The $100 difference that you mention seems high.
Supershuttle will get you from Burbank to LAX for about $35.
