ok- im looking for a 10 day rental picking up April 8th at Ben Gurion and dropping off April 18th.
I am over 25, and would take a manual or automatic. Any ideas where to go? Do corporate accounts work in Israel?

It seems that if i have a world MasterCard or a business MC, i can avoid paying the CDW...Is that any world mastercard? Can anyone recommend which one to sign up for? It cant be a chase as i already have 2 chase cards approved in the last 6 months...
I was thinking of getting the Ameriprise world MasterCard (no annual fee) just to avoid paying the CDW. Is there a different card i should get that would offer me some nice perks while im at it?

Again, cant seem to edit a prior post...it seems the AA citi card is a world mastercard which i obviously have.

Dan, you wrote over here: http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/5335#comment-54697 that you were going to try and dispute the LDW charges...did it work?

Budget.com try out BCD: Z939000

Would one need to show any kind of ID to use that BCD? What is that BCD for?

Thanks!

Exem Corp.  Seems like a fictitious company.  I've never been asked to show ID for it.

It is for April 8th to April 18th (10 days) for a Mazda3 or similar. I am over 25 so no underage fees.
I have a World Mastercard which i am using to cover the CDW.

I am paying $317 total. This includes the car, the LDW, and the airport convenience fee.

Why? i was comparing it to every other possibility out there. Find me something cheaper...i tried everything. The only thing cheaper was yerent.com which have very bad reviews from those on this forums who used them.

What do you want to know?
BTW it's 20% less when using the BCD for Budget above.
