If you were going to rent a car

Would you go with Avis, Hertz, or are they equally good? Is there another company you would use instead?

Re: If you were going to rent a car

I always use enterprise

they are close to my house- pick you up and drop you back off - and I can always talk them into an upgrade

I go with Hertz or the lowest. Hertz almost always comes out cheaper.

Re: If you were going to rent a car

I just looked it up and Avis is by the airport, so we can just drop it off on our way and we don't have to pay for a cab then. I guess that is worth a little extra money.

DH uses Enterprise and Thrift a lot, even thought he's a Hertz Gold Member.

I used Enterprise 2 months ago and they hooked me up with a Volvo AWD at no extra cost. Chat Icon

Just be careful w/ p/u and drop off at/near the airport......sometimes they charge you an xtra fee....as high as 50 bucks..........

Re: If you were going to rent a car

We seem to always use Hertz.
always get upgraded everytime we use them....Last week we used them and got a Brand New Grand Marquis.
with the GPS.

That was kind of cool!

I always use Enterprise as well, for the same reasons- having the option of them picking you up can be sooooo useful! Oh, and this last time when I went to Enterprise I mentioned I saw a cheaper rate for the same size car on a competitor's website (I think it was Hertz?) and they matched that price.

Re: If you were going to rent a car

Also, you can check the prices on Hotwire.com for rental cars. I almost always get my rate through Hotwire. It is usually a lot cheaper, including cheaper than coupon rates. G/L!

Re: If you were going to rent a car

I usually go with Hertz as that is what I have to use on business trips so I am used to them. I've never had a problem.

Re: If you were going to rent a car

I don't have a favorite company. I go with whoever has the deal!

I just got back from Florida. I used Priceline named my own price. I got a compact for 15.00 a day. When I got there they had no compacts left so I took a midsize. Not bad for 15.00 a day. It was with National. No complaints!
