Rental companies charge a lot for car seats, so bringing our own saves money. We use our own car seat in their cars. An additional bonus, if our boy is asleep we can just take the car seat out of the car and snap it in the stroller without waking him up.

There are some memberships or rates that include at least one car seat for free. I may be wrong about this, but I thought I saw something about AAA members getting a free car seat from some car rental agencies.

At least AAA and Hertz have something going on in this area:

AAA's CDP must be used for that benefit to apply, so it won't always be the best deal around.
