Renting a car.

[CLAX1911]

So a few months ago and I had to be in a different place and I had to rent a car because I wasn't able to drive mine. I don't like paying you $35 a day to rent a car in the airport I've always just gone to U-Haul and rented a pickup truck this is what I drive anyway I'm used to it.

So I was talking to a friend of mine that's taking a trip to another state and the next couple of days and he's really worried over money. I'm always cautious about who I suggest to rent a U-Haul to because some people have some very emotional response to that. He had to run the truck he's just a really tall guy so he can't really ride and an average car. So I asked him doesn't care what the car looks like and he said no and I told him to call you they wouldn't pick up trucks and since most places charge a tourist tax on rental cars but not rental moving equipment you get to avoid probably half the cost. He drives and pickup truck too.

And totally I was rather smart for coming up with that I didn't think so I just drive by a U-Haul center and see the trucks out there like 17 dollars a day. And I think why in the hell with anybody rent from Avis and get a tiny little car for $30 a day.

What do you think about could you drive the U-Haul vehicle around?

Me I'm so uncouth I'm not above valet parking it.

Most of the U-Hauls charge a mileage fee on top of that $17 or $ 19 a day. While most car/pickup rentals you have unlimited mileage. At least in my locale.

That's true but I've never used more of the allotted mileage I suppose if you're going to drive a long distance then you should probably keep that in mind.

I was just saying I did it when I went to a place and traveled around there locally.

I think that is where U-Haul usually wins as most people renting a U-Haul are going to be putting some miles on that rig.

So for short distances U-Haul would be the way to go and for longer distance your typical Enterprise would be the way.

BTW, why is it everytime I rent a car or U-Haul the first thing I have to do is clean the windshield? What happened to providing a clean car or pickup? Laziness I guess.

Well with U-Haul I figured that they think you're going to stank it up sweating and moving so they'll clean your stank out of there after you bring it back.

I figured it's a liability thing. Someone got in a wreck and then they were sued and so every time they say wash the windshield.

Sounds like a good idea to save a few bucks as long as you don't mind that you will be driving a truck.
