We've tried a couple of the discount car rental places - easyCar
and EuroCar come to mind - and decided it wasn't worth the problems
so I believe we've switched entirely to Hertz. This opinion was confirmed
at the end of our trip last month to your fair city...
Most of the problems we've had are the nickle and dime crap the
discount places charge for. For example, finding a car wash in
a strange city to avoid a cleaning fee or finding out that the "excess"
kilometer rate is really expensive.
