This may be slightly off topic, but with nowhere else to turn: Can anyone tell me why car rentals are so unbelievably expensive in Elmira NY?? All the rental sites will say like $36-38/ day, but then for 3 days the total is like $300! It's more outrageous than Vegas, which I know has massive local entertainment taxes to hammer the tourists. Alternatively: does anyone know a more moderate rental place for like 3-4 days in August?? thanks, --hb ps: O yeh, looking forward to seeing everyone in Elmira in August!!! -- Prof. Harold K.
