Ready to Get Away? These One-Way $9.99 Per Day Rental Car Deals Might be for You
Many of us have a major case of wanderlust about now thanks to the pandemic and all that’s associated with it.
This rental car deal can take you out of your current lockdown environment and into new surroundings for a mental reboot or sorts. All for a fairly low price that will save wear and tear on your own vehicle.
Yes, these are one-way deals. So, you’ll have to figure out a way back from your drop-off destination. If you want to go back, that is.
But for some, especially those with a desire to just get up and go and a spirit of “let the wind take me where it does,” this just might be what you’re needing right about now.

You can use the individual sites to search for availability and pricing (Hertz, Thrifty or Dollar) or use AutoSlash which will not only provide an initial quote the same as the rental companies, but also watch for the price to go even lower and alert you if that happens.
In fact, it was AutoSlash who first published this deal.
I’ve used AutoSlash in the past and have been happy with its results. One time it saved me over half the initial quote by continuing to search for lower-priced options. The other time no lower-priced options came available for my scheduled trip. But it was nice to have them looking just in case.
I don’t know if the price will drop any lower than $9.99 per day, but if it does, AutoSlash should catch it and provide you links to the lower-priced deal.
Wrap Up
If you live in one of the select cities for which this deal is available, and you are okay with a one-way trip to one of the drop-off states, this might be a really good way to escape your current situation at a very reasonable price.
