1. I haven't rended in years but I do know

there can be a huge difference in locations of even the same company, for me the Tucson airport Enterprise location was way better than several of their "neighborhood" locations. they were also good about allowing cars to go to Mexico (though the extra charges were a bit too much)

2. I try hard not to rent cars because

I despise automatics. I have only ever driven stick shifts, and I'm 76.

Fortunately, my life is such that I couldn't begin to tell you the last time I rented a car.

Thanks for this.

I may very well be renting a car over the Holidays.

4. I had a horror show renting from Budget at Detroit airport. They kept adding "options"

I told them repeatedly I did not want. Had to go thru multiple calls and managers to get it straightened out. Uff what a mess.. Just be careful and get everything in writing of what you want and don't want.
