Back then, the economy was good, and they basically told me my car wasn’t good enough for their body shop.
Did you tell the greaseballs where they could put your car?
Translation of their greaseballese: “You’re probably liability-only, and thus paying for the work yourself. We can’t bend you over and cheat you like we do to the insurance companies, since you’d probably call the police.”[/quote]
wrong… Actually,I was fully insured with no deductible. But I guess at the time they had their backlogs of ferraris, lambos, etc.
#2 once you’ve found the best discount, check http://www.hotwire.com for their best rate.
#3 finally go to http://www.priceline.com and submit a lowball bid LOWER than the lowest price you found on #1 & #2 above. If it’s rejected, repeat Steps 1-3 above every few days.
I recently tried relayrides.com which is AirBnB for cars. Mine actually picked me up from the airport then back to his place for the handoff. I got a big truck (I can’t remember the exact model, but it was F150ish in size) for $25/day. A bit used and beat up (like borrowing a friends truck), but seems to get the job done if you jst need a cheap car to get from A to B.
I’ve tried the super discount car rentals but the service was so bad and nothing was covered so I had to pay a bunch of extra fees, that going a brand name (Avis/Budget/Hertz) would have actually been more economical.
