Last night I got very excited, and then very pissed, and then very excited, and then very pissed, and finally now, I'm back to being excited.
I found a car on Avis's website - a one way rental - when every other car rental company wanted $100 a day, for $55 a day. Excited. I then found out that there are no miles included, and it's .40 per mile for the 500 mile trip I need to take. Pissed. Then I called Avis and the guy said "No problem I'll change it to unlimited miles for you." Wow. Excited. I then called the OP and told him the good news, only for him to retort "They probably changed the rate." Indeed they had, to $100 a day. Pissed. I called back the same rep I spoke to originally and he said he would 'send it upstairs' to see what they could do for me. I check online now and see no price or mileage on the reservation. I call Avis and she tells me "you have unlimited miles and the price has been manually entered at $55 a day. If you have any problems at the counter just call us. But don't worry, because it's been approved by upper management."
Excited. Very Excited.
Oh crap I just realized I need 2 cars. Ugh!
