Looking for advice on 1-way car rental (or any car rental)

[dreamshark]

 Our scary trip to The Keys is coming up in TWO WEEKS and I am still dithering about car rental. Haven't rented a car for years, and I don't think I have ever  done a 1-way rental. We are flying into Miami, driving down the Keys over a period of 5 days, then turning in the car in Key West and flying home from there.

 

I know enough NOT to rent from Hertz (who have developed a reputation for having their patrons arrested for car theft whenever their computer system loses track of where a car is, which happens fairly often). I have lots of credit cards and frequent flyer memberships, some of which offer good deals on various car rentals. Maybe Delta Stays has something? Chase Travel Portal? 

 

Let me know if you have any tips.

Usually, the spouse rents the car because he has travel points. On the rare occasions that I do the car rental, I use Costco's car rental, which is fine. It looks like their agreements are with Avis and Budget, I haven't heard horror stories about them - and I've heard about those Hertz nightmares.
