Thanks for the quick response. I've noticed them showing up on searches at IAD in the last couple or so years, but I do prefer to stick with mainstream companies. Maybe I'll just stick with Avis/BA, and suck up the cost!
Still surprised how much rental prices have gone up for this year. I did an Avis comparison with IAD and that's even more expensive than PHX
Last year I was paying £31 [mini-van @ IAD] and £28 [SUV @ SAV], so you can guess the £43 was a bit of a shock for the SUV @ PHX. The £/$ rate hasn't moved THAT much!
My fault for preferring to holiday in the USA
