Right, but so will Orbitz, Travelocity, Expedia, CheapTickets, CheapoAir, Vayama, Priceline and Hotwire's non-opaque sites, and any number of other OTAs. Rentalcars.com does nothing those sites don't do, and until their recent site remodel a year or so ago, they actually didn't even do it all that well.
Even now, it lacks some features--although they finally added the ability to input discount codes, I can't get it to actually show discounted results with a code that works perfectly fine on the rental company's own website (and on Expedia and Travelocity, too). I also can't figure out a way to add your rental company loyalty program number (Emerald Club, Blue Chip, etc.), and the search results screen is pretty but not terribly functional. I find Travelocity's price grid MUCH easier to understand and useful when making a quick comparison, even if it does look straight out of 1999.

But Americans girls aren't the only ones who use those terms sparingly, I will admit.
I'm, like, so TOTALLY sorry. I know it's, like, MEGA-annoying. Whatever, just gag me with a spoon.
