I have never rented a car before. Where does everyone here rent their cars from. What is the best way and least expensive way to rent one. I will take any advice.
Thank You

I just booked a last minute car yesterday. Priceline was the best option this time. Usually I get a better rate through the rental companies. Costco has never had a better rate for me, so far.
Eh Costco can and does get you a better deal. It does depend on multiple factors.Your best bet will always be through the rental company directly. Costco will not get you a better deal. Sign up for the rental companies "program", which is free. Check rates frequently, they will change daily.
FWIW Alamo isn't the only company that allows you to pick your car.I love Alamo and I wait till about a week or 2 before our trip to book the car because I always find it is much cheaper the closer the trip I book. I love Alamo because I can check in online. Print off my rental page at home. We we arrive at the airport I walk out pick out my car. At the exit booth I show the rental paper, license and credit card and I am on my way. It is a lot better than standing in line for the rental counter and having the employee try to upsell us on the insurance. If you are booking the week you are leaving on Tue they release the last minute specials.
Also check the transportation board for the month you plan on renting. Lots of helpful people will post codes, and find price drops that you can check for your dates. I save >$80 on our rental through that board (+a code for free extra driver, and car upgrade)I have never rented a car before. Where does everyone here rent their cars from.
