MemberWhat is the best rental car company to use?
I have to rent a car and pick it up at the airport etc. ive never had to do this before!
Thanks in advance!
These are my options;
MemberI’ve used Enterprise, Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty, and Budget. Honestly, they’re all the same. I book with whoever’s cheapest, usually.
MemberI think I’ve used most of them up there.. They do all generally seem the same & I do tend to go with whoever I can get the best rate from.
I’ve never been too picky with rental cars unless I was going to be spending a good deal of time in it. I learned that lesson the time I drove across 2 states with a one way rental in the crappiest car ever. It had only a radio, no cd player, no aux jack. nothing. It SUCKED. I didn’t even realize it until I was already packed up & on the road. That was the worst drive ever.
They’ll usually try to upgrade you “For only $xx more a day!!!” (lol) once you’re at the counter. Sometimes I’ve gotten the upgrade for nothing if I’m like no I don’t want to pay more. Then magically they have something they can give me. Pfft.
Anyway, I went off on a tangent there! Sorry!
Memberthanks for the info! I figured they were all the same but didnt know lol. I have never heard of Dollar but at the moment they are the cheapest!
thanks so much!
MemberPretty sure Dollar and Thrifty are affiliated with eachother so they’re basically the same.
MemberUse hot wire to book it. You get a pretty decent discount but you don’t find out which rental company it is until after you book. I did it recently and rented a car for a weekend for only $70. You just plug in which airport it is, when you are going and it gives you your options. You can still choose which class of car etc. I also got a free gps thrown in which was nice since they usually charge 10 bucks a day for it.
MemberI booked through Hotwire and got a vehicle for half of what the individual companies were quoting me. They got me one through Budget.
