Hey All,

After 50 years of riding and driving to/from the Lake, I am in a position on one of my upcoming trips where I have to drive up and leave a car up there. To return home, I was hoping to rent a car one-way and drive back to Pennsylvania (see, I can't make a trip to the Lake without dive gear...).

Anyway, while this sounds good on paper, the reality is proving otherwise. It seems none of the agencies rent one-way from anywhere other than Manchester, and even then it's at an outrageous rate (close to $200 per day and upward).

Any insights or experience greatly appreciated. I was looking to pick it up in the area on a Saturday (any time) and drive back Monday, returning it in PA on Tuesday morning.

This should not be impossible.
