If you do a lot of traveling, you know that the cost of renting a car can vary drastically, depending heavily on the supply and demand for vehicles at that time.
And a survey from CheapCarRental.net found there are geographic differences as well.
Comparing the weekly rates across the top 100 airports, the analysis found renters in Anchorage, Alaska can expect to pay $1,451 a week for the cheapest available vehicle. On the other hand, Fort Myers had the least expensive rate, $263 per week.
These rates are for the least expensive car available in each city, so if you’re looking for a luxury sedan or an SUV, you will likely be paying an even higher price per day.
You can check out the full list on CheapCarRental.net.
Clark’s tested and proven method for getting the best car rental deal has been to book the vehicle in advance and then re-shop the rate the week before your reservation.
The website AutoSlash.com automates this process and says it’ll take care of the re-booking for you. You can read our full AutoSlash review to learn more about how it works.
Aside from the daily rate of the car, rental companies will try to get you to pay a bunch of extra fees at the counter, but Clark says most of them are junk.
