Time and again, I have debated about what is the best way to rent a car?
Do you get them via points redeemed from your credit card rewards programs such as Chase Ultimate Rewards or Amex Membership or just use plain old cash.
I tried this out with various car rental agencies such as Avis/Budget and Hertz/National et al. The costs tagged at the end of the return has convinced me that you are better off paying them off with your cash. You could join the loyalty programs and simply get offers such as one day off or weekend rental off - programs which you cannot redeem in your reward portal. If you must use points, you could always redeem the points for gift cards and then use it at a car rental company. So use cash, enjoy the ride and save your points for other biggies such as air reward travel or gift cards.
Like everything else, it boils down to your requirement and what you got at hand.
