We were kind of looking too. To rent a tow dolly to take our little car down is $48 a day. And I am sure to hook up our trailer behind the motorhome and bring the car down would be a stab in the MPG- that we figured just renting a car for a few days we'd be better off. (Camping at the Marion Co. Park- so just a little bit off the beaten path.) We've done a little searching for rentals, and the biggest problem you will find is that it will be a huge ordeal to return a car on Sunday. All of our quotes (about $41 per day for "sub-compact" state Saturday afternoon return option only. Airport (Knoxville's tiny strip) did not show any information on rentals. Appears it can be hit or miss on finding something between Newton, Knoxville or Pella that could work.

There's plenty of rental companies at the airport, I used Expedia and got a premium car from Enterprise for $288 Sunday to Sunday.

I've used Hotwire.com and scored some pretty great deals may want to give that a shot.
