Hi I got a quote for Israel car rental (8 days) through your app by budget for Mazda 3 for $93.50  that is about $100 cheaper what I got thru my travel agent.
So my question is if this price is the TOTAL price that I will pay, or I still have other charges like insurance etc.?
- I have a chase credit card -
If your credit card gives you a rental insurance in Israel, this is all you are supposed pay.

If your credit card gives you a dental insurance in Israel

I'd love to be hooked up with that card, I could really use it.

And I see that I have to pay now already, is this refundable if I don't end up using it?

Should be, but cancel up to a day before.
To make sure, read all the info.

It says on the rental conditions that $14 insurance is mandatory, so that means I have to add that to the price. Correct?

Is there a way to enter corporate codes and coupons when booking with your app?

No, because it does it by itself.
However, I've been able to lower the rate at a rental location mentioning one. Not promising it always works.

It tried all combos? So what happens if someone shows up at a rental place and they ask for proof of employment at whatever code that was used, and he's like, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Only legit stuff, no questions to answer.

I see. Interesting. You keep on updating it? You automatically add a coupon as well if it's relevant? For example, if the app sees its more than 5 days, it applies a one day free coupon from whatever car rental company offers it?

How hard would it be for you to add an advanced mode for someone to enter his own codes if he's a legit member, or if he wants to try his luck at getting a better price.

For now I'm trying to get it to fit nicely in a normal looking app also on iOS and website, which aren't the case yet.

Website would be great, as I don't want to download an app for once a year that I rent a car.

Question: if it looks ugly (for the moment) will it not be a deterrent to book?

I deleted the app because the horizontal view made it unusable for me. A website I would use, even if it was ugly, as long as it was functional.

Not if I know that I'll get a great deal, and in the meantime help a fellow DDF'er too. But for regular people without any prior info about the site, then maybe yes.
