Help wit rent a car in usa (Holiday)

Hi guys

I hope for some good ideas from you guys. I plan to make a road trip from philadelphia or new york to florida in september 2018.
The last time i was in 2012 in the states and drove from sf to la and then to las vegas.
We planed to be maximum 3 weeks in the holiday. We are looking for an good big suv for this trip. I know alamo and hertz, but is there maybe an other possibility or car rental to find big luxury cars for a trip like this?

Thank you in advance

Regards

Jacek

There are dozens of rental companies. We usually did well with Enterprise.

I’m only 90 min from NYC and 60 from Philly if you need a layover night.

Enterprise/National has always worked out well for me.

Thanks,

Yes. I compare just a little bit and saw the differences between airport and city.
Thanks

Problem with Trulo is that you have to return the car to the original purchaser, vs. Enterprise/Hertz/Avis you'd be able to return them to any location.

But, jsd, if you're heading BACK to NY/Philadelphia, maybe look into Gotham Dream Cars for some really cool rental options.

Hey
I am a little bit confused about the insurance for a rental car.
I try to rent a car thru hotwire.com and finally a good offer comes from thrifty.
How is it possible, then a rental car dont have a rental car damage insurance.
This is an option.
