joescore - we will dropping it back to Phoenix airport upon return - however staying at Scotsdale the night before the flight so guess it could be collected from there but had planned to take back to airport before the flight.<BR><BR>Does it make any major difference to the price re pick up and drop off locations?<BR><BR>Also anyone have any latest thoughts on best rental company to go through? <BR><BR>Thanks Kate

Expedia has good rates.

Also americacarhire.com has good rates - seems much cheaper than going direct to Avis or Alamo.

I have a full size car reserved for a week through National, pick up and return to Phoenix in April for $230 incl. taxes(w/ their emerald card.) It by far the best rate I was quoted. FYI Alamo was $356 for a full size, Budget was $331, Dollar was $312 and Avis was $370. I considered an SUV(Ford Escape) from Budget for $329 but I couldn't pass up that rate from National! I reserved by phone.
