How does that sound? <br><br /><br />Can you turn down promotions? Turnover? <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You'll learn to run a business, hire and manage your own team and gain business training that helps you succeed anywhere. Enterprise promotes from within, so our trainee program is the fast track to a great management career. Trainees typically receive one or more promotions within their first year and many double their salaries upon becoming branch managers. Branch manager perks also include commissions and company car privileges. Our promote-from-within policy also helps growth in other departments, such as Loss Control, HR, Recruiting, Marketing and Accounting.<br><br /><br />Is a management trainee position a good job at rental car places? ?<br >If you have no other options then yes. For me I would consider this as a transition job unless the management pay was excellent. Income and position are relative to your situation. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Ask yourself this... did you go to college for 4 years to manage a retail rental store? <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Also... how will the rental car business do with the depression that is coming in 2009?

In either case, you are just prolonging the agony. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I know you are thinking that because the car is NOT in your name that you are not liable. BUT, hey you signed a rental contract! What do you think about those voluminous small prints contain? Not only that you are prolonging the agony, you are also sticking it to yourself with more charges later. The rental company has a LOT of personal info on you already - where you live, your driver license, your credit card number, etc. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Be sensible and responsible. Unless, you can prove otherwise that the ticket was in error. Even then, you must pay first, then get a refund later. Else, you will be accruing a lot of the so-called other charges. READ the fine print for these charges. It is scary.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Worse, if you do not pay the rental company you may be liable for late charges and eventually a possible ding in your credit report.Should I pay for the parking ticket from a rental car in long beach, CA?<br >kind of surprised you even asked the question. Why would you not pay for something you did?<br >Would be a good idea!!!<br >Yes. If you don't, they can track you down from the rental car agency. If you don't, you may have a hard time getting a rental car in the future. They may also be able to deduct it from your deposit since they don't want to pay your ticket.<br >I would. They will probably trace it back to you anyway since it would be easy to tell who had that car on the date the ticket was issued.<br><br /><br />By the time the rental car company traces the rental car back to you and writes to you about the ticket, the fees will have fines associated with it.<br><br /><br />It might be in your contract that they can bill you for the ticket so if you pay it now then you can save yourself about 20 more bucks.<br><br /><br />(this would just be my guess, I have NO first hand knowledge either way)<br >If you deserve it, then yes. Take god damn responsibility for your actions.<br >yes unless you want to contest the ticket..<br >Yes. You will end up paying for it either way because the rental company will have your credit card info on file. I would be willing to bet that they will add some sort of surcharge to the intial fine.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />pay now and save late.<br >If its your parking ticket then yes.<br >Yes. The rental company will get the bill for the ticket, since the police know they own the car. The company will forward it to you, anyway. I know - it happened to me.<br >The car Rental Company will bill your credit card with a fee and it will be expensive<br >YES<br >Yes I believe you should. If you did do something unlawful it is only right that you do get a ticket.

Or do i have to be 18?Rental Car for a 16 year old?<br />Only if the rental company will allow you to be listed on the contract as an authorized driver. However, most rental companies will not allow a 16 year old to be listed. The few that do - may require you to take out the Loss Damage Waiver that costs 16-20 per day.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />You will have to ask the rental company.Rental Car for a 16 year old?<br />You have to be 25 years old just to even be able to drive a rental car. I don't think you need to be 25 to be able to rent a car because I've rented cars before I turned 25 but I do remember that we had to be 25 years old to legally drive it. My husband (boyfriend at the time) also rented a car before he turned 25 but I had to sign that I was going to be the only one driving the car because I was over 25. This was in California and in Hawaii. Don't know about other states though.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />But at 16, I highly doubt you could legally drive a rental car in any state.<br />No, it would not be legal. The only person allowed to drive a rental car is the person who rented it. I believe that you can add other drivers, but for an additional charge. But I'm pretty sure you have to be 18 in order to drive them.<br />Depending on the reason for the rental, and the company you go through will make a difference. I know that Enterprise will rent to people under 21, but there is a surcharge and it is only for insurance reasons. good luck.<br />To drive a rental car they require you to be 21. If they insured it the insurance will not cover you. If dad has you on his insurance you are covered for the family car not the rental.<br />Not going to happen. You have to be at least 21 to drive a rental car, with some companies the age is 25.<br />No, you must be 22 to rent or use a rental vehicle<br />Nope, can't do itJanicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09196054122127110555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382212449534131416.post-91764786304580910222010-08-22T16:29:00.001-07:002010-08-22T16:29:22.975-07:00What's the best way for a family to travel in Europe - by rail or rental car? We only have two weeks.?For many people the decision becomes a financial one. In Europe, especially now, the price of gas is extremely high. That, coupled with the very high tolls on major highways (e.g., France) you might find the group fare offers of the German rail system (Deutsche Bahn) to be worth considering.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Add to that the cost of parking a car in the city center (sometimes as much as $17 for a few hours) to be an added pinch to the wallet.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The train system is efficient, the trains are clean, no hoodlums on the trains, monitored in person and by surveillance camera and the train stations often enjoyable to browse on their own.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Travelling by car across the border (from Germany) to the Czech Republic has been described by some (me included) as completely unenjoyable: the roads are not modern, the trucks are slow, and on arriving: hard to find parking.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I live six months of the year in Europe and have a car but prefer not use it for the above reasons.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Good Luck. Explore these options on the internet and ask questions in fora like these.What's the best way for a family to travel in Europe - by rail or rental car? We only have two weeks.?<br >Thank you for the prize (BEAMING)!<br><br /><br />If you do decide to drive and are tempted to put the pedal to the metal on the German Autobahn, should the authorities decide that your speed exceeded that which was ';sensible';, your fine may be decided by reviewing your yearly income. <br><br /><br />Have a safe trip! <p><span>Report Abuse</span></p><br /> What's the best way for a family to travel in Europe - by rail or rental car? We only have two weeks.?<br >For a family I would suggest to travel by car. It may be a little more expensive but you want have the problem of getting separated. My husband and I and our two friends and their two daughters all went on a train trip in Germany one weekend. We were supposed to get off at this one stop. The two girls were in a stroller and I went to the door to get off. As I was getting off with the girls the door starts to close (you can't open it once it starts to close) so I jumped off and the train took off with my husband and our friends. I had to wait for about an hour before they were able to get off at the next train stop and come back. The trains in Germany are really good but if you have to get off at a smaller town then they don't give you much time to get off. So for a family I would suggest traveling by car. Sixt rental is really good from my experience. I hope you enjoy your trip.<br >And do check wether it's the European holiday time when you're travelling. If it is, use the train and book your tickets well beforehand, otherwise you're caught on endless traffic jams!<br >Rail, unless they can learn to drive, the British way.<br >use a sensible combination of the two, but the most important thing is your itinerary. i spent three weeks in europe last summer with family. we rented a car when it required multiple stops in and around southern france, switzerland and italy and our interests were the things that were a bit off the beaten path. if you plan traveling to mostly cities definitely by train.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />gasoline is rather expensive and parking is usually a huge nuisance in most large cities especially near tourist attractions. you will see less on the train in my opinion but have more opportunity to meet and talk with people. so it's a trade off. on the other hand if you are a true blue american and like having a car that works too but will probably require you to stay at bigger more american style hotels away from the central parts of the city.<br >If you are adventerous, by all means get a rental car. Many of the best vacations happen when you stop at quaint little villages and talk to the locals. <br><br /><br /> If you are only interested in sightseeing major metropolitan areas (i.e. Paris, Berlin, Milan, Rome,etc), and if you want to avoid the hassle of finding parking spaces and driving through the busiest streets in the world, the rail is a steal. You can buy a ticket for unlimited rail travel for a day, week, or month.<br >Either way is fine, but I think I would go by car. That way you are on your own schedule. Just know that the driving can be crazy, especially in Paris and throughout Italy. It's fun to drive on the German Autobahn, but it seems like everywhere I go lately there is construcion and that sucks and sometimes you end up just sitting there in a stau (traffic jam)<br >I would go with Rail or Airlines. The trains leave nearly constantly and are quick, but you can't beat the airlines for price and if you are looking to go over 500 miles. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I've done both and used:<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />www.ryanair.com<br><br /><br />www.easyjet.com<br><br /><br />www.germanwings.com<br><br /><br />www.hlx.com<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Go to their sites and check out the rates, you'll see what amazing possibilites 2 weeks can offer you. I did Southern Spain, Rome, Dublin and London in the course of 8 days. It was a bit rushed, but saw everything big in every city with time for nice meals and nights out.<br >Europe may be bigger than you think. You can't ';do'; europe in two weeks. If you want to discover one country then a car is probably best. If you plan to hop from London to Paris to Berlin, to Rome then Vienna (exhausting) then train is probably best.<br >Compared to US, Europe is small. So so, even if trains are very quick more comfortable and much used than in the US, I tend to think thaht for a family a car is better because it allows to visit the countryside and little villages and not only the main cities.<br >I would definitely recommend flying in Europe, too. There are numerous extremely cheap airlines in Europe which connect all the major cities. It is far less time consuming than driving. You can visit many countries and you can always rent a car in the new country. I recommend Ryanair.com, AirBerlin.com, Germanwings.com. Sometimes you can find tickets at Ryanair for less than 1 Euro plus tax. You can't beat that especially because fuel prices are about twice that of Stateside prices. My family lived in Germany for 4 years and did a lot of traveling all overy Europe.Janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09196054122127110555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382212449534131416.post-82811095801599584952010-08-22T16:29:00.000-07:002010-08-22T16:29:07.063-07:00Train or Rental car from Rochester, to Buffalo, to Brockport NY?I don't know which to use for my trip to New York. I will be landing at the Greater Rochester Airport and will be going to see U of R, then SUNY Buffalo and then SUNY Brockport. Should I get a rental car and drive from location to location or would a train ride be best? (I don't even know if a train runs to any of these locations, I'm clueless, help!)Train or Rental car from Rochester, to Buffalo, to Brockport NY?<br >Driving would be best. While Amtrak does stop at Rochester and Buffalo, getting to the college campuses from the train station can be problematical. And Amtrak definitely does not stop at Brockport.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I lived in Buffalo for 4 years and could never find a good way to get to the SUNY Buffalo Amherst campus from the Amtrak train station in Depew (it requires transferring through three NFTA buses).<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Get a rental car from the Ro-cha-cha airport and drive.

I recommend checking out this area also. You can see the old neon signs along east freemont street. It is fabulous. And the worlds biggest tv screen - it is 4 blocks long and covers the entire street. It is amazing to see this area after dark. I was there in November. I absolutely Loved it.I'm planning to honeymoon in vegas- do we need a rental car?<br >no need for a car, you can walk everywhere. if you are staying on the strip, you will be able to walk everywhere. i've been to vegas a couple times, and i just took a cab from the airport to the hotel, and then at the end of my trip took a cab back to the airport, but other than that we just walked everywhere. the strip is about 1 mile long i believe, so everything you do on there is in walking distance. and there is no reason to go off the strip because there is nothing else in vegas - everything is right on the strip.<br >I would not waste your money by renting a car. Everything on the strip is within walking distance. The things that aren't such as Freemont street are on the bus route and it's totally safe to take the bus. My husband and I did it at night even and it's very well lit and cheap too. With the price of gas and everything I wouldn't bother with the rental car.<br >You can walk, take a cab, or there used to be free bus service up and down the strip. I wouldn't rent a car if you need to save $. You can get from any airport to any hotel by bus or hotel transportation service, and then after that a car would be more trouble than it's worth.<br >Actually we just got back at stayed at Harrah's...we got a shuttle back %26amp; forth from the hotel and also took the double decker ';Deuce'; bus daily up %26amp; down the strip ( some are far--ie: Rio (Buffet is FABULOUS) and downtown--it's only $5 a day!! Don't rent a car--you don't need it. :)<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />P.S. Be sure to wear comfy shoes!<br >you can walk mostly anywhere, check at the hotel you are staying at for suggestions for a day trip...and you can rent the car at the hotel...you might want to consider a helicopter ride at night, its great<br >You can walk just about anywhere. When you get tired, just grab a cab, they are all over the place down there. IF you rented a car, you probably would not be using it much to tell the truth.<br >I believe you can it can be romantic. You and your husban holding hand and just watching the wonders of las vegas.<br >DONT RENT A CAR IT WILL BE NOT BE NEEDED.

You could also catch a cab to the airport, its 5 minutes from the port, and all the rental places are at one desk area in the parking garage.<br >Call Enterprise They will literally pick you up right there<br >i recommend,being a florida native,hijackking a car,lol,just kidding,use enterprise,they'll pick you up!:)<br >Enterprise, will pick you up. Can't beat that!<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Enjoy your cruise, and Miami.<br >call the rent-a-car company, they will pick you up right from the port.

Midway is smaller, easier, and you can get your rental car right across from Baggage Claim on the lower level. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Just take Cicero Ave. North to I-55 North. That takes you right downtown.Need a flight to and a rental car in Chicago!?<br >Can't help you with Orbitz, etc. I have never had any problem using them. You enter your info and get the results to choose from. Maybe you should work with a travel agent.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If you stay in a downtown hotel in Chicago, you will neither need nor want a car. The public transit system is very good and parking costs are outrageous. If you go to the Chicago Transit Authority's website, you can get all the info you need. There's a direct train [Blue Line] from ORD to downtown - takes about an hour, depending on time of day.Janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09196054122127110555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382212449534131416.post-58883911589122931462010-08-22T16:28:00.000-07:002010-08-22T16:28:03.140-07:00What's the penalty for driving a rental car if your under 21?The rental company might add a hefty charge to the rental agreement, if it finds out. I wouldn't try driving it without their knowledge, as it could void the insurance coveage; I wouldn't want to try it.What's the penalty for driving a rental car if your under 21?<br >I'd imagine just a ticket. I doubt they'd do something ridiculous like take your license away. Plus, if you drive carefully, no one has to find out!What's the penalty for driving a rental car if your under 21?<br >No penalty if you have a valid license and if you are driving with the permission of the person who rented the car. The police have nothing to do with enforcing the terms of the rental agreement. The renter is violating the contract but that is a civil matter, not criminal. If you have an accident you better have your own insurance because the rental insurance will refuse to pay and you may find out that your insurance won't cover you in a rental either if it's in violation of the rental contract.<br >Well, they won't RENT it to you, if you're under 21. If someone over 21 rents it, and they find out you were driving, they'll go back and surcharge their credit card monster fees - like $250 a day.Janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09196054122127110555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382212449534131416.post-80323015366518211422010-08-22T16:27:00.002-07:002010-08-22T16:27:47.357-07:00Am I entitled to $ from insurance company since I didn't use rental car?Hi,<br><br /><br />My car was a total loss and the insurance company approved several days use of a rental car for me @ $20 per day. I didn't use the rental car at all, I was able to get rides from friends. Am I entitled to that money? <br><br /><br />I live int he north east US.<br><br /><br />ThanksAm I entitled to $ from insurance company since I didn't use rental car?<br >No, Unfortunately not.....<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />We are talking about Insurance co. here......... They are here to steal money any and every way possible....Am I entitled to $ from insurance company since I didn't use rental car?<br >the name of the coverage that got approved, was ';rental reimbursement coverage';. If you didn't rent, you aren't entitled to be reimbursed. BUT, if you took a bus or a taxi or paid gas money to someone for a ride, you could submit THOSE receipts to be reimbursed.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Have ';Friends'; write you out a receipt for each ride.<br >You maybe eligible since in lieu of them paying you $20 a day, you saved them money by using the help of friends/family. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Most companies will reimburse you around $10 per day for not renting a car for just that reason. It saves them money and you get paid vs a rental company. So say for instance they approved a rental for you for 3 days, they would reimburse you $30. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I did that all the time when i handled claims in an insurance company. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />call them and find out; good luck<br >Insurance is intended to indemnify you for your loss. If the insurance company paid you for the rental you would end up profiting from the claim.<br >No. Had you used a rental car then you could have claimed whatever it costs. You could try putting a claim for expenses incurred in paying your friend for lifts but he would need to give you a receipt.<br >No, you don't get the money. You were offered the rental car, and you did not avail yourself of the offer. Rather silly on your part. You do not get money in lieu.<br >No!<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />(If you insured your home's belonging against theft, and nobody stole anything, would THAT entitle you to money from the insurance company? LOL!)<br >email me and I will tell you how to get your $20/day from the insurance company.<br >No. You were entitled to $20 toward a rental car, not cash.<br >That's funny.<br >nope...sorry. in cases like this its use it or lose it.Janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09196054122127110555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382212449534131416.post-6856035866625715962010-08-22T16:27:00.001-07:002010-08-22T16:27:32.172-07:00I was in a rental car and i got a speeding ticket by a state trooper, doing 80 in a 65?he only ask me so show him proof if the car was in my name, will this go ticket i got go onto my insurance???I was in a rental car and i got a speeding ticket by a state trooper, doing 80 in a 65?<br >the ticket goes on your driving record regardless of what vehicle you may be driving , as to your insurance rates that will be determined by the insurance companyI was in a rental car and i got a speeding ticket by a state trooper, doing 80 in a 65?<br >Yes, the ticket is against your license not the car.<br >You ticket goes on your driving records, your personal insurance company may ( or may not) do a record check of your driving record every year. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />A ticket is never reported to the insurnace, the insurance company merely sees it when they do a record check on you.<br >Yes, it's on your name, and drivers license number..<br >Probably. The ticket is for you, not the car.There is a chance it won't show up, though. Were you driving this car in your state or out of state? I recieved a ticket for driving 89 in a 65, I live in RI but the ticket was recieved from a MA State trooper. It has not shown up on my driving record, yet. It was almost a year ago. I must say I did learn my lesson and have driven slower since.<li><a href='http://your-cosmetics-w.blogspot.com/'>your cosmetics</a></li><li><a href='http://revlon-vbj.blogspot.com/'>revlon</a></li>Janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09196054122127110555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382212449534131416.post-286554956765990272010-08-22T16:27:00.000-07:002010-08-22T16:27:15.863-07:00Can you take a rental car out of the country?That would depend on the rental agency's rules and where you rent the car. Check with them. You would also need to be sure that you are familiar with local laws and practices in the area you are driving abroad.Can you take a rental car out of the country?<br >I now you can drive one into Canada. About 4 years ago, iIrented a car in Buffalo and drove into Canada. I don't know about Mexico, you would need to ask the rental agency.Can you take a rental car out of the country?<br >YES YOU CAN, BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE A SPECIAL INSURANCE FROM THE RENTAL CAR COMPANY SO THE CAR IS COVERED OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY.<br >It depends upon the policies of the rental car company. Most are allowed in Canada, but not Mexico.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Remember, you may need a temporary license to drive in that particular country. Your USA license may not be valid in Mexico or Canada.Janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09196054122127110555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382212449534131416.post-37423411213943924932010-08-22T16:26:00.003-07:002010-08-22T16:26:59.322-07:00Do rental car companies check your DMV record?I have rented several cars and none of the companies have ever checked my driving record.Do rental car companies check your DMV record?<br >No. I've rented cars several times over the years. What you need is a valid drivers license, a major credit card and if you don't have your own car insurance you have to buy theirs. Don't get talked into buying theirs if you have your own.Do rental car companies check your DMV record?<br >No<br >count on it..some rentals places...go back 6 years...to see if you had a DUI.<br >Nope.<br><br /><br />Why are you going to go ';Jack@ss'; style with the car?<br >I've never had one check mine that I know of.. Of course, you need a license to rent one, so if yours is suspended, you won't be able to rent the car..<br >Yes they do.<br >SOME DO AND SOME DON'T.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DMV OFFICE, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY AND ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS AND AT THE SAME TIME YOU WILL BE GETTING THE CORRECT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION.<br >No, but when you wreck it they will use your credit card to buy a new car.

Although the minimum age for car rental is usually lower than normal for an insurance replacement rental, it is still usually 18 or over. Check with your insurance company to see if they have contracted any partnerships with a certain car rental company that would allow them to get a rental car for a client under 18.After an accident, can ur insurance give u a temporary rental car?<br >Only if you have rental reimbursement coverage on your policy (assuming you are making a collision claim). <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If you purchased this coverage - it will pay a predetermined amount per day up to the policy max. Depending on what type of car you rent, you may have some out of pocket expense.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Just because you have ';full coverage'; does not mean you purchased rental reimbursement coverage. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You can not add rental car coverage to be back dated. So if you did not have it at the time of the accident there is nothing your company can do.<br >Check with your Insurance company and the rental car office. The rental car office has a rule that they are allow to rent car to person over 21 years old in some states. Check on the extra insurance from the rental car company. If you get an accident in there car you will be responsible for the deductible from your policy. If you can not rent,then I would suggest let one of your parents rent the vehicle and use one of your parent's car.<br >Check your insurance certificate. This should indicate whether or not you are eligible for a hire car, and for how long you can rent it for no extra cost.<br><br /><br />On my policy I am allowed a 14-day rental car, but after that I have to pay a small daily fee.<br >it does depend on your ins. policy, you did not say if another persons car was involved if the other person was at fault there ins. should cover a rental car.<br >Only if you elected to carry rental coverage on your policy.<br >Check with your repair shop.<br><br /><br />A lot of repair shops give you a loaner to use when your car is being repaired.<br >Call your agent, it depends on your coverage. Peace.<br >If your full coverage has a free rental car clause in it .. yes you canJanicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09196054122127110555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382212449534131416.post-75331031363766446202010-08-22T16:26:00.001-07:002010-08-22T16:26:27.359-07:00Best rental car service to rent from?Renting only for one day.<br><br /><br />And tell me WHY!Best rental car service to rent from?<br >Rent a Wreck= always had good service with themJanicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09196054122127110555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382212449534131416.post-67658707049478746412010-08-22T16:26:00.000-07:002010-08-22T16:26:11.478-07:00Which rental car companies in cincinnati ohio take checks?I would hazard a guess at none.

You will have to let them know where, when and for how long.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />By the way, I am not sure if the customs agents can determine if the car is a rental when they scan or punch in your license plate, but I would guess yes.

Sometimes they will not want you to leave the country with a rental.<br >SteveN is right. My husband works on the border at Canada Customs, and rental cars are frequently turned back because they do not have clearance from the rental company to enter Canada, or they do not have insurance that covers Canada.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Be sure all your paperwork is in order and save yourself a long frustrating wait, only to be turned back.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />BTW, your license number is punched into a computer, and it will show up immediately if it is a rental.<br >Well pal, i am from Boston, and the answer is yes. But a drive from logan airport to canada is a long one, you will have to cross NH, and head up through the north, i would say with the traffic leaving Boston down i95, that your total trip will take about 6 to 7 hours, so just make sure you prep. And just make sure you have all your info on the rental when you hit the border of canada, cause the mounties are tough! good luckJanicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09196054122127110555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382212449534131416.post-47848695629391135682010-08-22T16:25:00.000-07:002010-08-22T16:25:07.056-07:00Best way to travel from Hollywood, Florida to Miami if you don't have a rental car?Depends on WHERE in Miami you want to go.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />For downtown best option is Tri-Rail (stations on Sheridan or Hollywood Blvd. just west of I-95) south to Metro-Rail transfer station in Miami. Transfer to metro-Rail South to Government Center-Downtown station (NOT Civic Centre). You'll be right downtown. From there you can take buses to M. Beach, Little havana, etc. Info booth with maps at the foot of escalator from the Metro-rail platform. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If you want to stay on the East/Beach side. Mainland, take Broward Transit Bus 1 (local - every stop on So. Federal Highway,US-1) or Beach side, Bus-4 (every stop on A-1-A) South. Both stop at Aventura Mall. There you transfer to a Miami-Dade bus South - depending on where you want to go.

Once you find the cheapest company, you can try going to their website directly to see if they have any deals or specials that will lower the rate. You can also try using a discount code, if you qualify. There are hundreds of membership programs and professional associations that offer car rental discount codes to their members. You can find a list of car rental discount codes for 8 major car rental companies, at http://www.best-car-rental-tips.com/disc鈥?/a>Rental car suggestions?<br >Ask the car rental company<br >Herts has gps on all their cars.Janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09196054122127110555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382212449534131416.post-15428086702656004772010-08-22T16:24:00.002-07:002010-08-22T16:24:35.361-07:00Do you always return your rental car back in pristine condition?I do... except for the empty beer cans in the floorboard, cigaratee burns in the seats, and the home made shotgun rack I build in the back window.Do you always return your rental car back in pristine condition?<br >geeez....I want your rental...I've never had a gun-rack and I so always wanted one...Do you always return your rental car back in pristine condition?<br >Yes I do...The hookers who I allow to use the car for a percentage of revenues are a different story...I can't get into that here....tax purposes.<br><br /><br />:o<br >No. You always have to do it on the backseat before you return it.<br >yes...i dont want them trying to collect $4,589.62 for a tiny scratch on the bumper that coujld be buffed off.

Flying in. We would like to see the strip. Am I better off renting a car or just getting a taxi? Will be there for 4 days.Taxi or Rental Car in Las Vegas?<br >rental is better more flexibiliyt and also free parking. <br><br /><br />taxis is not cheap out here any mopre.Taxi or Rental Car in Las Vegas?<br >Ive been to vegas a few times and have done both. It depends on how much walking you want to do. It is very flat out there, and distances can be decieving. It takes a long time to walk down the ';new'; strip. But if its not to hot, its a great time. We walked and stopped in various casinos on the way (we walked from the MGM grand to the Hilton). There is also a tram system in place now in vegas that you can use to travel up and down the strip.The ';old'; vegas is slightly smaller and easier to walk around. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /> Unless you plan to travel to the Hoover damn or other ';off strip'; areas, i would suggest just using a taxi and the other public transportation availible. It makes sight seeing much more fun, and driving in that area is not alot of fun.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /> from the airport, we actually found other people going to the same area and split the cost of a limo, which ended up being about the same as a taxi (when split among the two parties), and it was a great exerience to pull up to the MGM grand ina limo.<br >I used to be a cab driver in Las Vegas and know it is easier to take a cab than have a rental car.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />#1 Taxi's are plentiful. $2.20 drop and $2.00 per mile. From the airport add an additional $2.20 tax (only FROM the airport). There is waiting time factored in as well, it just went up to $23 per hour. Traffic will increase the cost.<br><br /><br /> In Las Vegas the cab drivers are full of information. They will tell you the best restaurants, night clubs, casinos, tourist spots, etc.....ALL cab drivers are required to SPEAK, READ and WRITE English. If they fain no or little English GET OUT and take the next one.<br><br /><br /> Keep in mind that ALL taxi drivers in Las Vegas live on their tips because they can not own their own cab/medallion. All drivers get a percentage of the meter/fare usually equals about 40% which pays the income taxes, trip fee's and fuel cost. Tip according to the service you get, nice, clean, informative, safe, etc.....If you feel you didn't get good service DO NOT tip the driver BUT tell him/her why you did not tip them. If you don't tip and just get out without saying anything they will just think you are a CHEAP ****** and wouldn't have tipped them anyway. If they are driving faster than you like ask them to slow down or stop being so erratic. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />#2 IF you get an honest driver it is relatively cheap.<br><br /><br /> You should always be familiar with the city you are going to in advance of your trip. Yes there are a lot of thieving cab drivers in LV. I was not one of those.<br><br /><br /> What I suggest is giving the driver $15 to the south end or center of strip, $20 to north end and $25 to downtown right when you get in at the airport and tell him/her this is all he/she will get for the fare. The tip will be better the nicer he/she is.<br><br /><br /> The companies to avoid FROM/TO the airport are Desert(orange/white) Nellis(blue/white) these are notoriously the biggest thief's (long haulers/tunnel rats, the owners require them to be, not always the drivers fault). Paradise Road is the best route out of the airport NO MATTER WHAT unless you are going to Green Valley/Henderson <br><br /><br /> If you have a problem with a driver there is always the Taxi Authority (aka T.A.) you can find their number on any drivers permit which MUST be visible from any seat in the taxi. I also suggest you pay attention to the cab company (car number), drivers name and permit number. In case you leave anything or have a complaint.<br><br /><br /> Keep a map with you at all times and KNOW where you are going. <br><br /><br /> Let the driver AVOID driving on the strip at all cost especially at night. What would be an $8 ride from MGM to Bally's going down the alley will be $20 at night on the strip because of all of the RENTAL cars not knowing where they are going.<br><br /><br /> The highway/freeway should be avoided during the day (rush hour 6:30am to 7pm). I-15 is a good route between the south end of the strip and downtown, IF the driver exits and enters on Charleston Ave (exit 42?). Never let the driver go all the way around to the 93/95 and take the downtown exit UNLESS you are going to the Horseshoe casino. It is NEVER OK for the driver to enter the Highway from the 93/95 from downtown.<br><br /><br /> The drivers will often use parallel roads to the strip such as Frank Sinatra, Paradise, Koval or Industrial/Dean Martin Dr let them do this, unless you like sitting in traffic and paying more to not move!!!! (remember waiting time, $23 per hour)<br><br /><br /> Keep in mind if time is of the essence and the cost is of no consequence than let the driver figure it out for you, they know which way to go when there is an accident/traffic just don't let them tell you there is an accident and believe them so they can take a longer route. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />#3 Convenience, Parking the rental is almost always free but always a long walk. A taxi is right outside the front door. The traffic is INSANE. Most likely you will want to drink and you don't want to get a DUI in Nevada. Rental cars will get into more accidents on the strip because you will want to sight see and don't know where you are going (wrong lane, looking at the girls/boys, looking at the colorful lights). <br><br /><br /> There is always the Valet parking service which is free to use but some hotels have limited space and will turn you away or you will have to wait for as long as an hour to get your car. A tip is expected as well.<br><br /><br />A rental will cost a minimum of $30 per day and will sit parked most of the time. Taxi's will cost about the same in the long run but, you will be helping the economy by using taxi's.<br><br /><br /> The rental car companies are required to charge a tax of $5+ per day when picked up at the airport. If you do get a rental get it at the hotel you are staying at. All of the hotels have rental car counters. If the company you prefer to rent from is not at your hotel go next door. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />#4 The bus system is plentiful and cheap but VERY crowed and as someone else stated SMELLY. Sometimes you have to wait for 4-5 buses to go by before you can get on one that has room.<br><br /><br />The monorail is about as worthless as you know what on a boar. It also has long walks and drops you off at the back of the Few hotels it serves. If you want to go from the Sahara to the MGM than take the monorail. Other wise take a cab and get door to door service.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />#5 IF you want to do some sight seeing. Take a tour bus trip. A helicopter is also a great way to see the area. A bus tour will be cheaper, but a helicopter is an AWESOME way to see things. If the mass tours are not for you than rent a car for the day when going to the Hoover/Boulder dam, Red Rock Canyon, Grand Canyon, Valley of Fire or Death Valley all are worth seeing. <br><br /><br /> To see the Strip take a cab from the Nugget and get dropped off at the Mandalay Bay and walk north from there, south of Mandalay there is nothing...... Or you could start at the Wynn and walk south from there...... North of the Wynn is still older and not much worth seeing. The Stratosphere is the exception, it is at the far north end of the strip and has incredible views from 1200 feet up. Either way walking is the best way to see the strip. When you get tired and want to get back to your hotel jump into a cab sit back and relax.<br><br /><br /> I can guarantee you you will not be able to see everything you want to in 4 days. On the other hand 4 days is the perfect amount of time to visit Las Vegas. That way when you go back you will still have a few things you will want to see and a plethora of new things as well.<br><br /><br /> If strip clubs are your thing take a taxi. Yes the driver gets a kickback to drop off at a club anywhere from $10-$30 per person (not all clubs do this) If you are waiting for a taxi and the doorman asks you where you are going then tell them it is none of their business or lie and tell them you are going back to your hotel. The reason is they will try to SELL you a limo. The doormen rip the limo drivers off by charging the drivers X number of $$$ per person and the driver gets little to no money. The doormen are some of the biggest thieves in Las Vegas. They try to talk you into a limo so they get the kickback from the limo driver. If a doorman asks you where you are going...tell them IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS....or lie and tell them a restaurant or back to your hotel. They are not supposed to ask anyway (safety reasons)<br >If you stay downtown, you cabs or public transpo - like the Deuce bus - to get around. The Nugget charges for parking too - and I don't know how much they validate for guests, and chances are, aside from getting from downtown to the Strip, you're better off walking - since traffic STINKS on the Strip. A cab ride will be about $10 or so one way. A rental car can easily run you $20 a day, gas is $3 a gallon, and parking is like $10 a day at the Nugget. (Free at the Strip hotels.)<br >The traffic can be a nightmare on the strip. The bus route is good as well as the availability of taxis. On the strip, Trolleys, the monorail, the bus system, and walking are much more convenient than having to go to a car when you want to travel.<br >If you are planning on drinking any at all DON'T drive. <br><br /><br />A taxi from the AP to GN will cost about $25. A shuttle will take 1-1 1/2 hours but only cost $8. If you have 3-4 people in you group take a taxi. <br><br /><br />Once in LV the Duece (city bus) can take an hour during peak times to get to the strip. $5 for unlimited 24 hour pass. <br><br /><br />We use a taxi getting from one end of the strip to the other. The duece for longer trips. There are free shuttles offered by the some casinos. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />http://www.vegasfreebie.com/free-transpo鈥?/a><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The Las Vegas Review Journal newspaper as a great message board. Lots of good info. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />http://eforum.reviewjournal.com/lv/forum鈥?/a><br >I have done both. Since you're staying downtown, I suggest getting a rental car. If you were staying on the strip I would suggest otherwise. By the time you pay for a cab to your hotel and back to the airport, you probably can rent a small car for slightly more. Plus my experience is that cab drivers rip you off by taking you the long way or purposely sit in traffic so the meter keeps ticking. Parking is free and you have the flexibility to visit other places such as Hoover Damn, Lake Meade, Red Rock, etc. Once you drive to a casino on the strip and park, you can walk all over. If you get tired, take a bus or free shuttle back to the casino where you parked. Just remember where you park and your tag number. The garages are huge and most rental cars look alike out there.<br >If drinking inebriation isn't an issue, then I would definitely recommend renting a car. Taxi drivers in this town are worse cheaters than anyone at a table. With no airport shuttles here, they have a monopoly on things and take advantage of it.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If you have to take a taxi, one VERY important piece of advice. When getting in the taxi at the airport, tell the driver NOT TO USE THE TUNNEL. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />To get some extra bucks from unsuspecting tourists, cabbies like to use a tunnel that leads out of the south side of McCarron to take folks to the Strip and Downtown. However, this tunnel actually leads to Henderson and becomes a long way to get to the destination.<br >We spent 4 days in Vegas. We walked and used the bus up and down The Strip. Daily passes are very cheap.<br >I am sure parking sucks and Cabs can be expensive. Ride the Deuce bus! Its has alot of stops but its $5 all day or $2 one way. Make sure you have exact change.It goes from Downtown vegas all the way to the Luxor. There are 50+ buses running up and back all day.<br >I would use the Double Decker bus system. You can catch it like every 10 minutes right at the corner of Freemont and The Strip and they have like 20 buses that just make a constant loop 24 hours a day up and down The Strip. You will still need to get from the airport to the Golden Nugget, so just take a taxi.<br >Things to think about. Driving in Vegas is like driving the NASCAR circuit. Even the best drivers will experience some nerve jarring moments. Yet it is quicker to rent a car than to wait for a cab at the airport. All car rental pick ups are off site so you will be bused to the facility. They run constantly so waiting is a minimum. Traffic on the strip is like a bumper car ride so be patient. Parking is free at most casinos. Good idea to mark your car somehow. Write down the location of your parking spot and your car. Best bet if you are going to travel off the strip for any reason. Get all the insurance they offer though. Will be worth it if something happens.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Taxis are good for short runs. Can get expensive but good in a pinch. From downtown to the strip can cost from 10 to 20 bucks depending on location on the strip and the traffic. You can get stuck for awhile and watch the meter go up. They will drop you off at the best spot at each casino. You can not flag a cab in Vegas. Cabs have to use designated pickup and dropoff locations at each facility. NO FLAGGING.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The bus system is very crowded. You will have to stand the entire trip and in traffic you could be standing for quite awhile. A bargain but personal space is non-existant. Deodorant use should be a law and limit the use of parfume. You will jump off the bus when the doors open and you squeeze your way out.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Forget the monorail. Travels along the back of the casinos ( if it is working ) and you have to walk the entire length of that casino to get to the strip. Good for them. Forces you to walk through and not around their slots. Not a real bargain either.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Trolleys are a good bargain. If you use them get an all day pass ($5 each). You can get off and on and travel the strip the entire day. They run every few minutes so if one comes that is packed, just wait for the next .. it will be empty. They run from the Stratosphere to the Luxor. They only have limited stops so you will have to walk to where ever from the stop. The brochure will tell you the stops and the driver will announce the casinos served at each stop. The Trolleys have been given bad locations for stations at most casinos. They are located to make you travel through the casino that allows the station. A deal but can be a hastle.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Good and bad with each. Just think which will serve your needs the best. No exact answer. You decide when you review the facts.<br >There are lots of other ways to get around besides taking a taxi or renting a car.<br><br /><br />http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/get-aroun鈥?/a><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You should consider taking a bus (Deuce), the trolley, monorail or the free shuttles operated by the casinos. All these options will be much cheaper than renting a car or taking a taxi.Janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09196054122127110555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382212449534131416.post-76723162422128207652010-08-22T16:23:00.002-07:002010-08-22T16:23:47.836-07:00Any MAJOR Rental car companies that accept PREPAID MASTERCARD/VISA Debit cards?I need to rent an automobile for a trip and I only have a prepaid debit MASTERCARD. I have been approved for a REAL credit card but it won't arrive until after I need to rent the vehicle.. I am looking for any MAJOR car rental agencies that accept PREPAID MASTERCARD or VISA debit cards for the rental.. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Thanks a million!!!Any MAJOR Rental car companies that accept PREPAID MASTERCARD/VISA Debit cards?<br >It actually varies from location to location. If you know where you're going to pick up your car from, you should call the local office of the car companies to make sure they'll accept prepaid debit cards.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Also call up your debit card companies. Some cards don't allow car rentals. Some that say they do allow you to rent cars have special requirements.Any MAJOR Rental car companies that accept PREPAID MASTERCARD/VISA Debit cards?<br >Enterprise doesn't always accept prepaid card - it varies by location. I'm having the same issue right now and was shot down by Enterprise. <p><span>Report Abuse</span></p><br /> <br >enterprise car rental accepts debit cards<br >I only have a VISA debit card and I used it to rent a car from Thrifty Car rental at DTW airport. No problem even though they did say in their ad they would not accept debit cards........ It just ran right through. I have done it 3 times so far.<br >enterprise<br >This is a dicey issue, and I think you'll have a hard time trying to use it. I know that my company accepts check/debit cards but not prepaid cards, simply because they aren't attached to an account and if something happens there isn't a way to draw more money off of the account or really to track the cardholder down. The thing is that many rental agents might not notice; for instance, we just got new software that detects when a credit, debit, or prepaid card is swiped--it won't let us proceed with a prepaid card. I'm sure that not everywhere has them and it's more than likely that most rental agents won't notice or care, but I'd be willing to bet that in principle at least, you aren't going to find a major rental agency that will rent on a prepaid debit card. Sorry. One option for you, though, is to attempt a cash qualification. In most places, Thrifty, Enterprise, and Budget (sometimes Avis) will let you bring in a cash deposit. It requires some legwork since they have to verify a whole bunch of information about you and they'll collect an amount that can be significantly over the estimated total cost of the rental ... but it's worth a shot. Good luck!<br >You have to make sure that the credit on the account is enough for the security charge. Once they charge your card for security, those funds will be tied up and you will have a large dent on your credit.<br><br /><br />Bit of pain, but i think it should be okay. Also, at many restaurants, you may need an extra 15% of your bill on the card so that there is money for a tip. If there is not an extra 15%, then the card will be declined.Janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09196054122127110555noreply@blogger.com0
