Of course its a relative thing. I dropped my rate by rebooking with Thrifty at the last minute, but then the Subaru I started with limped back the first morning with transmission unhappiness, and only the PTC option was available to trade. I was relatively more happy with a mechanically sound PTC at a better than average price, even if its ugly.
