Rental Cars

I've been researching rental cars in Montecatini and I've found a wide range of prices for the exact same car.

All three quotes use the same car, a Fiat Panda (with AC and manual transmission) picked up from the same office and agency, and all include insurance and taxes.

I started with the source, Europcar.  A one day rental is $117.93.  Two days is $207.27.  Three days is $224.66.

Next I checked with two consolidators, AutoEurope and Kemwel.  Both of these require a three day minimum rental.

AutoEurope's three day rate is  $185.24.  Kemwel's three day rate is $142.09 (and that's before taking off the AAA discount).

For the same car, from the same office and during the same time period I can pay as little as $142.09 or as much as $224.66.

By the way, our hotel offers free parking.
