Which has better prices on car rentals. airport locations or your local car rental office?

Im planning on flying into Los Angeles to meet some people then take a drive to Las Vegas. Would it be cheaper if I rent a car from LAX airport or book something from the surrounding area?

Almost without exception you will get better rates at off airport locations. I am a HUGE fan of using Priceline for car rentals. You can get rates, usually about 25 - 30% less than the off airport rental locations. I have used Priceline for car rentals at least 25 times and I have never had one problem and I have saved a ton of money. And no I do not work for Priceline! : - priceline.com / Good luck, Steve
With very few exceptions local locations are always cheaper than than airports are That's the upside of the argument The downside is that local offices: Are almost always closed on Sundays Have limited hours like 7:00AM - 6:00PM during the days that they're open Have limited vehicles which means that you : Have to reserve the exact vehicle that you want And You can not play the get an upgrade at the airport rental counter game at all
It depends on a lot of factors. Generally, the off - airport / neighborhood locations are cheaper, particularly when you factor in all of the fees that airport rentals require. However, you can also often get ridiculous deals on the cars out of airports, which will end up being less than the neighborhood locations, even with the fees
It depends on the airport and the car company but airport pickup can often be more expensive
It is more money to rent from the airport, but how are you going to get to a place to get the car? If you have someone meet you and take you to a car rental place, fine. I do that for my house guests and they save a bundle. National is usually pretty good about picking up in one state and dropping off at another
