Traveling to NYC next week, need to rent a car but I don't have status with any rental companies. I would need to pick the car up in Manhattan or Brooklyn on Sat and return it to LGA Sunday. Advice?

Do not pick it up in Manhattan - it’ll likely cost a ton more. When I’ve had friends / family visit and wanted a car for the week I’ve actually gone out to LGA to pick it up because it was so much cheaper. One time I got an suv for a week from LGA for $400 and in Manhattan they wanted something crazy like $220/day

Do you have Amex Platinum? If so you have status with Hertz, Avis, and National.

No Amex platinum. I just know rental companies kill you with fees if you pick up and drop off in two different locations.

Go out of your way to LGA, just make it happen. The alternatives are $200+ more.

If your company has leisure rates do that, pick up in the city. For us hertz is $45 a day for a full size car. And with the rate drop off and pick up in 2 diff locations in NYC is ok
