fti, MichaelColey, and gpapadop:

Thanks the the welcome and info. My FF number is on the recipt so hopefully all is well. There is something to be said for living in a small market with a one-gate airport..no line at check-in, the 2 women at the counter (who work for both Avis and Budget, lol) were very nice, and we watched the news and chatted for a few minutes. A very different experience from ATL! I am actually kind of looking forward to taking this car back Friday and getting another on Sat.

For what it is worth, I scoured this thread for 2 days before deciding to jump in on this deal. I thought I had all of the bases covered but the Budget CSR threw me a couple of new ones.

Thanks again.
