Visiting NYC next month and need wheels to explore Brooklyn properly. All the big-name car rental places near the airports seem crazy expensive. Any locals know where to find decent rates for a week-long Brooklyn rental? Preferably something that won't bankrupt me before I even cross the Manhattan Bridge.

Skip the airport surcharges and check out local spots deeper in Brooklyn - way better deals if you know where to look. For solid options across different price ranges (including some surprisingly affordable luxury models), take a peek here. Just remember Brooklyn parking rules unless you want your rental car budget going entirely to tickets.
