SAVE by renting through Avis.com? I don't think so
by 2buzy | Aug 29 '02
I need to rent a car! We are planning a trip to club Med and had originally planned on using their transfer service but after talking to others, we decided to rent a car instead.

One of my main concerns of course is Price...

I used to work for a car rental company that specialized in low daily rates for insurance replacement. You get what you pay for. Want a cheap rental car? Expect delays, poor maintenance on the vehicles that results in more frequent breakdowns, sleazier sales tactics on add-ons, "reservations" that aren't, etc. I've rented via Avis twice on trips and found that their checkin/out was super smooth, the people were professional, not $7 derelicts who hate their job, and if you value a no-hassle trip, they're hard to beat. Sometimes a savings is no savings when you get to an unfamilar place and your car breaks down and you miss a flight or they "lose" your reservation.

Hi Andrew!

I know, geesh I seem to have two minute breaks ALL the time and this is the first site that has ever timed me our so fast!

Would be easier to take if they had lower prices! LOL

This sounds like a bit of a nightmare. A 2-minute timeout is a bit ridiculous, I agree!
