They're set up to readily deal with one way rentals, you can get either a pickup or a small van, and their rates aren't bad.
Great idea!
Another idea is to check with car rental companies to see if they have any cars that need repositioning. Cars in DC that the companies need to put back in Pittsburgh. Good deals on cars that need to be elsewhere because it saves the companies the expense of transporting them.
