Hello Folks
I am flying in for a one day visit and I am shocked at the car rental rates at the airport. Can anyone suggest a off site rental company that has a shuttle from the airport. $280.00 for Tuesday at noon to 3:30pm the next day seems really high.Car rental is higher than flight from Austin.

Uh, which airport? 
 
You are looking at a two day rental.  Regardless, $280 is astronomical, unless you are renting a Corvette.  FWIW - there are two major car rental agencies who have since removed ALL Toyota's from their rental fleet.  I am not sure if that has an impact on rental rates (lack of availability).
 
Car rental facilities at or near the airport are either on site, or have shuttle services.  Typically, rack rates for mid-size sedan are $50 per day or less.  Mention any organizations you might belong to, and you can often get 20-40% discount.

Go to Priceline.com and you can bid on rates. This is the only way i travel. They have complete packages, Flight, rental and hotel.
