i'm the op and sort of torn. i have the edge lined up as posted for $225 after all discounts. can get an explorer for $10 more, but i've been talking to sixt directly and they gave me a price of $192 for a mb e class or bmw 5. sunpass is more of a rip and their reviews are either a few good ones or very bad, no middle of the road, but i think i'd rather have the comfort of one of these euro luxes rather than a ford.

I'm currently in Knoxville and used this code to book my reservation. $55 for two days in a premium car including taxes. When I checked in they were short on Premium cars so I asked for a Mustang (which is what I actually wanted) and got it

This deal has caused me to defect from Hertz. So far, very happy with Budget.
