A minivan was $175/week in Orlando even during President's week when the going rate was about $1,200. This is probably why Hertz and at least Avis has been more strict. I have found Marriott to be very strict, especially at key locations, when it comes to the government rate. Marriott wants travel orders, a government ID, and/or a government credit card. I found Hilton to be less strict for those government rates."
