The second time, is now and I’m on the Thrifty line (best deal) and there are a solid 30 people on line. But because I prepaid, I’m not inclined to bail for a full rate one and dispute the mileage deduction.
Final note, using the mileage is seamless but it is worth it to use a few extra and go with Budget or Avis over Thrifty.
Hour wait got me a Kia with 65k. Probably would have been better off spending an extra 3k miles for the week to go with Budget but whatevs.
As far as actual miles, we are talking 19k miles for a week for a rental that otherwise would have been $1k.
