Conversely, the price in Las Vegas was $2 a day more than the least expensive city in the survey, Orlando, Fla.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe survey spanned from June 2013 to May 2014, according to CheapCarRental.net. Each city\u2019s main airport was chosen as the pick-up and drop-off location. The survey established the price of a five-day rental about one to two weeks prior to the pick-up date.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe website noted costs tended to fluctuate heavily for some destinations. For example, on some days during the offseason in Miami (No. 44), travelers could find a car for less than $20 per day; during the peak season the cost was $60 or more. In New York, the price ranged from around $60 to $110 per day.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe five most expensive cities for car rentals:<\/p>\n<p>\t\u2022 1. New York City $76<\/p>\n<p>\t\u2022 2.
