Interesting/cheap car hire east coast USA Florida/Carolinas
Discussion
We are doing 3 weeks on the east coast of USA in August, aiming to start in Florida then travel up through the Carolinas before turning round at the top of North Carolina and heading back.
We are doing this ahead of a potential move to North/South Carolina next year with Sarah's work, looking at areas etc. And will of course do a bit of a holiday around Florida too.
We can get car hire down to around £500 for the 3 or so weeks, but it's for something horrible like a small auto hatch.
Are there any cheaper options, I know years back you could move hire cars around for the rental companies and get very cheap hire in a variety of cars, does that still exist? Or we don't really care about a new car, I'd rather drive a ten year old crown Vic than a new Daewoo matiz.
Any thoughts?

Will be around the first of aug (we have a degree of flexibility to hunt cheap flights and deals) for around 3 weeks.
We are also flexible on airport, we hit Orlando as the first look, is Miami perhaps a better bet? Is it worth getting a taxi from the airport to a town based rental agency even?

Thanks for all that! I may pm you.
Charleston is likely to be the area we end up in I think.
This is very much a fact finding trip, mainly to see what I can earn a living doing out there.
Anyway flights to Miami are booked. Just trying to find something unusual to hire, don't really want something we can hire in this country. The dream (if that's the right word) is a crown Vic, but nothings showing on turo. There are some Pontiac solstice which are fairly cool, but ideally I'd like something big squidgy and comfy albeit probably crap and slow.

Yes we have a visa route.
Car wise it's just nice to have some variety from the stuff we have easy access to over here, ironically we have a corvette among other stuff here, but while there are plenty of nice cheap cars (lots of mercedes which would be a pleasant place to spend time for a few weeks) on turo it would be nice to get something like a full size body on frame vehicle.bno logical reason to it.
