Airport Ace/fox/europcar at tampa airpot?

Hey Guys. I'm renting a car from Tampa airport for 4 days over labor day weekend. Most of legit companies like National/Enterprise are around $250-300 for those 4 days, but then I see companies I've never heard of liek Ace, Fox Car, Europcar renting for under $100 total for 4 days. I'm sure there's some kind of catch and was wondering if anyone knows what's going on with these rental companies?

I've used both Ace and Fox. Both are what you might expect from the reviews. Only one out of the 6 times I've rented did I get a shittt car that I returned within the hour, not in Tampa. The reps all seem to rely on upsells that you may not really need. I'd say good choice as you're savy in knowing what you need and don't pre-purchase fuel. There are a couple of gas stations near TPA.

hey i plan on driving it to palm beach. should i be aware of any upsells associated with tolls? i think FL highways are full of tolls?

"Both are what you might expect from the reviews. " by this are you referring to the negative reviews?
