hotwire shows around $50

You'll get hammered on midweek rates.I go to hotwire.com and see what offers I get, then I go to Priceline.com and make a bid about 25-30% under that. Usually works.At $270, you should consider taxis and mass transit. The bay area has some of the best mass transit west of the Mississippi. And the trains and trolleys are kind of fun.

There you go. (But it will vary wildly by dates/days). For me a $50 hotwire price usually equals about 30-40 on Priceline. On Priceline start with a higher car class than you need (SUVs are often inexplicably cheap) and then adjust price and car class so you can keep making bids.
I did something similar when I flew into San Jose. Rented a car there and dropped off near hotel in San Fran. Rates fluctuated a ton depending on where I was dropping it off so check a few locations.

I most cities you will pay an extra 25-50% in local taxes/fees to pickup your car at the airport.
that's all well and good, but the rates I was being quoted went from something like $70 to $300 picking up at the same exact place (airport) but dropping off a few blocks apart in San Francisco.

There's a whole thread on this too, fyi.

Yeah, you are always subject to exorbitant surcharges if you drop off differently than where you pick up. Except for Enterprise. They are usually pretty reasonable on that

Maybe he was looking for the insider info.

That's dumb. It was my incessant quest to drink for both of us that allowed him to heal up real pretty.Pretty sure it was my prayers that fixed him.

Completely unrelated..... I would love to see Kev's magical outer space hair on your head. Even if it's just photoshopped. Can we make this happen? Not sure what made me think about this.

That's one of those questions you always want to ask a person of color but there isn't any way to do it without coming across as racist.

I seem to recall AZ Ron once saying that it was basically just to #### with white people. Could be wrong.

Since we don't have anything but white people in Portland, I wouldn't mind spreading it to all white people first.

I got a very full retainer before entering an appearance.I got the other parties to agree that we could do memos rather than closing arguments bc of my late entry. As a result we wont get a decision for a few weeks. There are two claims against my client. Expect to successfully defend one, think on the other we are like 65/45 to win. [/QUOTE]Not sure anyone cares, but judgment came down today in my favor on all counts. Even the 65/45 one.You better have gotten paid a significant premium to jump into a case like that.WTF cares? Did you get paid?Did you win?Last week I was contacted by an old client to come on as counsel on the eve of trial. It finished up today. Quite the ride to come into a case with four or five days to go before a 2-day trial, get up to speed on a three-foot high stack of docs, interview witnesses, and then try the dang thing. I think I may have a drink now.
