Car hire cock up
Discussion
PH I need your help to avoid a big old fee.
I have booked a holiday to drive from New York to Miami.
In hindsight I stupidly booked all the hotels before booking the car hire as looking online it was only £250.
As such a lot of it is not reversible, but went to book car hire yesterday and get landed with a whopping $800 fee for dropping car off in another state which is over 1000 miles away.
Any inside hints and tips. Fees are less elsewhere but hire cost is more, so I'm a net £500 worse off that I expected.
My fault, but any tips much appreciated.

I am geing a similar price. About $800 for a full size car, Focus is not much cheaper.I have just done a quote through Hertz for a week in August, pick up JFK and drop off at MIA the pre-pay online price for a Ford Focus or similar is £502!
Actually picking up in Newark.
Looks like Hertz with a discount code is the way forward...
