If you're only 23, you are most likely going to get hit with an underage surcharge per day. The going surcharge is like $25/day at most large rental places. So once you add that on, no matter where you go, it will get expensive. Are you the oldest in your group? Try getting someone else to do it. Then rent any car and beat it up good. PS get the insurance if you want to do that. You also don't need to buy their insurance if you have your own policy. I checked with my agent b4 I went on vacation and he said don't even bother with it.

Are you part/ g/f dad part of AAA. You can get discounts from them. Oh, if your gf dad rents it and doesn't put your name on the contract and you get pulled over or have an accident, he is going to get nailed BIG TIME.... Or maybe that is what you want?????
