Hell, any travel agent/consolidator should be able to cut you a deal, so long as you get the plane tickets AND car rental packaged together. . . then, if you had a hotel, you can stand to really shop it around.

www.priceline.com I've gotten cars as low as 10 bucks/day and then of course it's the economy and they are out of them so i get a better one for no additional fee.

Whatever you do, don't rent one online. I'm pretty sure no rental place has set fees. The employee (or at least a manager/supervisor) can give any price they deem reasonable. The price advertised on a website should be viewed as nothing more than a negotiating point.

The prices I have discovered are pretty flexible especially when you call them. The two places that I think are priced decently are AVIS or Thrifty. AVIS is located in the airport. Where Thrifty is located off site about 2-3miles away (down Airport Way) I'm pretty sure there's a shuttle that takes you there. I live in Portland and that where I mostly rent my cars from; Thrifty and sometimes AVIS. Hope that helps.
