Interesting...on a lark I decided to test a few random bookings in DSM, and that location is still only giving 150 miles per day, even with corporate codes that normally are unlimited-mileage everywhere else in the country. I wonder if it's a franchisee with its own weird policy? (What I really wonder is how it stays in business, since every other company in DSM offers unlimited miles, at comparable rates).
