Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Car Rental

I second docdiamond's suggestion of Ontario. Also look into Inyokern (IYK) which is closer yet. IYK costs more, but will also eliminate anywhere from 2 to 4 hours of travel time each way.

Have used all of the above search engines, but in the past couple of years have found Costco (click on Travel tab) or Hotwire the best deal. Have never been asked for my Costco card at the rental counter, although Enterprise requires you enter the number if you select that option on Costco. I think the last 3 or 4 rentals have been Hotwire. Use Hotwire when you're CERTAIN you're plans won't change, as you pay for the rental upfront, and can't modify it.

Lynn - you could save your company some $$ by switching from Expedia. I used to use them all the time, but they now tend to be spendy.

Also - there seems to be some consolidation in the number of rental companies, so prices are generally higher.
