Drum Roll: $77.62 AI. Won't get many ZE points with that one!
Car was Nissan Ultima, auto start, around 34k mileage.
Before my flight, I was in the BNA USO half listening to a gentleman booking his upcoming car rental on the phone. Settled for Alamo. Couldn't help myself. I don't look back on my rental days with Alamo fondly.
Told him I just booked ZE for a super rate. Advised him to check on line and look at the Discounts section.
Wasn't interested.
$77.61 AI?! Dang - How did you manage to do that?? I rent cars for a week several times a year now and I've been paying ~$145 AI for an ICAR or $175 for a Full size (ie. Altima)
