Everything isn't cheaper in the midwest

jebbypalCase in point --- car rentals!! Okay, I can understand being jammed some on a car rental when I want to return it to a different place, but making the price 84-180 dollars to do that, ridiculous. A rental for the entire weekend here in philly is only going to cost me 60-90 dollars! This is ridiculous.
Oh, and Hertz, do you really think anyone will rent from you when you charge 300 bucks for an entire week in the midwest? Geez.
So, are there any horror stories about why I shouldn't rent from Budget, Thrifty or National? Avis actually has the cheapest one way, but if it's only going to be fifty bucks more for a rental for the entire week somewhere else, I don't know why I shouldn't. Saves my parents some gas. And everyone seems to advertise that there are unlimited free miles --- is that a misnomer or what? My mother seems to think that there are mileage charges, but I know she's not rented a car in a while (if ever. Moving vans, yes, cars, no).
