The rep asked me which airline I was flying in on. I said Delta (I'm not flying though) and then she asked if I had the flight number. I said I didn't it. Should I be worried? Why did she ask that do you think?

Man, I am going to be totally bummed if this does not work out. Oh..by the way, when I made this reservation through the Delta/iseatz link my printer messed up and I didn't get a print of the page. To make matter worse, I never got a confirmation via email because Budget's computers were fubar.

Biting nails now...
No need to lie about having a flight. Just show up early. As long as they have cars available and you return it within 24 hours of pickup, you shouldn't have a problem. I had to pick up one of my three cars several hours early.
