To answer the question of which company has the best prices on their car rentals is as variable as anything else in the world. In many cases you can get a lower rate the older you are and you can also get discounts if you have a good driving record. However, this is not always the case and the prices will surely vary from day to day, how you book your rental, where you pick up, how long you’ll have it, what kinds of insurance you are going to have on the car, and the list goes on.

Nevertheless, there are a few general rules to finding the best prices. Most of the time car rental companies will not want to put their best prices up on the internet for the world to see and will likely only give them to those who book in person or over the phone. This is just good business as they can make more money from the people shopping online that don’t want to call.

If you have an immaculate driving record, are in your mid thirties and have full coverage insurance that will cover the rental companies car as well you could pay as little as nine dollars a day with unlimited (or nearly unlimited) mileage. Of course there is the opposite to that, the twenty-three year old guy who is fresh out of college, rents the fastest car he can and has had two accidents and multiple other infractions in the last year or so. In a situation like this, the rates will obviously be higher and the company may require him to purchase their insurance as well as leave a large deposit before he is allowed to use their vehicle.
