Frequently asked questions
Cheapest day to pick up a weekend rental?
Thursday afternoon. You avoid Friday airport rush surcharges and get Thursday-Sunday weekend rates.
Airport or neighborhood rental pickup?
Neighborhood locations are 15-25% cheaper (no airport fees). But airport locations have more vehicle selection and longer hours.
Do weekend rental rates include insurance?
No. Basic CDW/LDW is extra. But AAA members get free secondary rental coverage through some auto policies — check yours.
Best hotel for a quick weekend break?
Hampton Inn (Hilton) and Courtyard (Marriott) — both accept AAA codes, include breakfast, and are near entertainment districts.
