    Avis or Thrifty are probably the bigger chains. How long would you want it for?

    he said a week,

    go for one of the major brands, theyll likely try and stick you with a more medium size car if they can

    Ah I misread that as in a week.

    I recently got a quote from Avis for 500 for a commodore wagon for a week covering 1800km's.

    Then tried it the next day at work and got 750 dollars.
    I'd say 500 would be okay, maybe even a bit high.

    Agreed, thanks for that link, I'm going from Rocky to Byron at the end of this month, that dropped it down to 450 + Insurance.
