2 of us are planning to take a road trip from Seattle ending up in NY.
I'm looking into the options for getting a car. If anyone could help
with the following, that would be great:

1. recommendations for cheap car rental companies. We are both 23 so
don't want to pay any 'young driver surcharge'. Also a company that
doesn't charge a fortune for one-way rental and allows rental for more
than 28 days. Ideally with a pick-up point somewhere in WA (e.g.
Seattle, Everett, Bellingham, etc). We're from the UK so need a company
that accepts UK drivers.

2. If anyone needs a car driven eastwards but doesn't want to do it
themself, we'd be willing to do it and would pay for gas. We'll
consider any route, just reply to the post with contact info. If anyone
knows of any companies that hire drivers on a casual basis, that would
be great.

Thanks
Adam

It's gonna be pretty rare to find a rental agency that does not charge
an under-age fee. But if you go through Enterprise, they only charge a
one-time fee of like $25 bucks instead of $25 per day like the others.
Cheap rental cars can be found at http://www.globalcityrentalcars.com.
You can book one through Enterprise from that site, and view all the
rates from other competitors. Hope that helps...
