Enterprise. They'll pick you up. But, their hours are goofy. Otherwise, "Priceline" a rental car. I got one for $12/day.

Jagplt,

You're a FedEx MD-11 Captain, for crying out loud. Just go out and buy a Ferrari or Lamborghini for the few days you'll need it in Memphis. Quit being such a cheapskate.

Yeah, I saw that, but if you're going to get a sports car, it might as well be a real one. One that can actually be driven in wet weather, and that E series with its Lucas ignition system ain't gonna hack that.

In defense of JJ, if he had a smooth riding sports car like a Jag, it wouldn't get the twins bouncing very well! Ride on, JJ!

I've gotten some really good rates with Enterprise as well, but be careful. they dinged me 10 bucks for a tiny chip in the windshield that most likely was there when I picked up the car. Look it over carefully before you accept it. At that low price I'm sure they want to make a few extra bucks whenever they can. (I know it was only $10 extra, but it really ****ed me off)

We have a corporate (Fedex) account with Hertz I use all the time as well. I have a gold account and just got a $35 rate with them in MEM. You can't always get the $12 deal on priceline, so it's a good backup.
