Renting a car today and returning it on Sunday AM.

And you just leave your car at the rental car place for 2 weeks and they don't notice? :-:

Input information and you may have to wait a day (though I had an instantaneous the other day).

Ahh - I see what you're getting at... Someone is taking me to EWR to pick up the car this morning so no vehicle will be left at the rental car place. I figured that would be easier then someone taking us at 4am (:rolleyes:) on Sunday morning.

3 almost identical responses in the same minute - pretty good service from The Box.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it four. UPS had literally backed up the truck to make a deposit ... er ... a delivery ;)

Cha-ching!

My wife and I are off for a day trip to scenic Brenham, TX, home of the original Blue Bell Creamery. Have a good un', box.

Just got off the phone with a reporter from the NYTimes. Apparently I'm going to be the subject of a piece on travel and loyalty programs. :D :D

Even better, she said they might put in a plug for my blog. More readers = more ad clicks = ^^^.

:confused::confused::confused: :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Dude, it's your honeymoon, with all the other expenses I think a car service that drops you off curbside and picks you up inside is in order. :-:

Got it. :-:

I'll crunch the numbers on this option. Although a :rolleyes: service might be in order for Canuck and me.

I looked in to this option and the ride to our hotel + hotel to airport + airport to home when we returned was over $300. I was able to get a 2 day Luxury rental from National for just about $60 (used a free day as well). I'd much rather save money on the ground transportation in NJ and spend it on something that will create a longer lasting memory at one of our destinations.

To me, it was a no brainer...

I was unaware that "scenic" and "Brenham" could be paired in the same sentence. The Blue Bell Creamery is worth visiting, though...
