Thank you for your help. My original paperwork was $214.99 + Tax but it DID show the total amount of $285 and change.... It was just a mix up at their end for some reason.
Now I need to rent the car for another week now. If I rent a full-size this time, and use the same coupon, should I get a Premium car? and what can I do to ensure that the next time I go pick up the car, I can have that coupon applied??? Right now the rates are pretty much the same (between Avis & Hertz). I definitely don't want an Impala or a Malibu.
