Sometimes, even age plays a factor in car-rental cost - a 50-year-old with a long driving history can command a lower rate from certain companies than a 25-year-old. Also, prices tend to be higher during the week than on the weekend. If you’re a member of a rewards program such as Hertz Club or Avis Preferred, for example, odds are you can snag a cheaper rate than a non-member. To make matters even more frustrating, there are often multiple price points for the same car at the same rental shop in the same city. The location, the make and model of vehicle, and the car rental company you use are all factors that will impact the price. The simple answer is that it varies, a lot.
