Car Rental Question

Recommended Posts

The weekend of Dec. 8th, I got offered to Referee a wrestling show in Oregon and I think I'm going to try and plan a road trip up there. Odds are, I'm going to rent a car and I was wondering which car companys are the best to go with. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?

Scroby, I assume you're over 25? If not, plan on factoring in an extra 25 a day, also get an Entertainment book or use your AAA membership if you have one for good deals. Last month I had to go to Orange County for orientation and so I decided to make a weekend out of it and I got through Alamo a midsize with a 5 dollars off a day coupon for like 150 (it would have been half that if it was 8 months later). Hertz is one of the most expensive though.

Some rental companies might not even let you rent a car if you are under 25.

 

Enterprise and Hertz are pretty good from what I've heard. My gf rented a 06 Corrolla for two weeks since her car was totalled. Best ride ever.

 

Also make sure you take care of the car and keep it in mint condition. Just because its not yours, does not mean you can trash the car in a matter of minutes.

Seriously, Hertz is renting these. It's the Shelby Mustang GT-H, H for "Hertz," and only in that color scheme. They aren't for sale at Ford dealerships. Amped up versions of regular GTs (330hp, lowered springs, tighter steering ratio, etc.). See if one's available at your local office. There aren't any special requirements other than a driver's license.

It was done back when the Mustang was first released as well, except the ones then were high-performance virtual "rent-a-racers" that people literally took to the track for the weekend and brought back on Monday morning. Those were the days.

I actually just turned 23, so I would be charged a fee for being under 25, but I would have others in the car with me who'd pitch in for the car...if they wouldn't say offer thier own.
