Budget and Hertz - about $800 without insurance. Insurance was an extra $24 per day (a little over $700 just for insurance for the month) So total - about $1500 a month for a compact with insurance.

For that price, I could BUY a beater, throw liability insurance on it for a month, and then sell it for half of what I paid for it when I'm ready to leave and still be ahead of what they charge (no, I don't want to do that. )

All the best,
Glenn
