'Conviction (1)'
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.
Pete, for my trip to Toronto, I used CarRentals.com and they came back with much cheaper rates than Orbitz.
ETA: I usually like Hertz because I'm Gold whatever with them and I like just walking to the car and ignoring the counter. But Hertz was going to be about $300 for the week; Alamo booked through CarRentals.com was half that.
I've used them as well, with the same result. Much cheaper if you're picking up/dropping off at an airport anyway.
A quick car-rental question; which companies do you like, which should I avoid? I'll be getting a car from Burbank airport in LA
I almost always use Hertz. They are a touch more expensive but I've found that on the whole they have better cars that aren't the totally stripped models. I'm also a Gold member with them and like avoiding the counter.
Is GPS standard these days?

Some places have you rent them separately at an additional fee.
Every Hertz I've rented lately (3) has had a GPS. Even though I don't need it, and have to keep turning it off lest they charge me for it.
Hertz stranded me in LA one year despite me having my driver's license, current insurance card, the credit card I made the reservation with, and my frickin' birth certificate ID card. And the corporate execs later responded to my written complaint more or less with "sucks to be you, we don't feel obligated to honor agreements."
If there's any way I can encourage people to use Enterprise, Budget Rent a Car, or any other company that actually makes customer service a priority I want to take the opportunity.
Oh, and Frank... you *are* bringing THE HAT, aren't you?
Well, after Jilli scolded me for considering not bringing it (due to packing and/or airport security monkey issues), I've decided I have to.
I had a very similar experience with both Enterprise and Budget quite a few years ago. I avoided them for years, but eventually hit the point where I decided it was an isolated incident.
Vortex, did you change your hair? ;-)
Maaaaaaybe.
Hey, just realized that no one is doing a list of arrivals/departures, etc. I hereby volunteer. so, if you want to be part of the list, please send me your:
Name
Board name
cell phone number
email address
arrival date/time
arrival method (plane/train/car etc.)
F2F location (i.e. hotel, Plei's house)
departure date/time
departure method (plane/train/car etc.)
(there might be some other information that I've forgotten, so I might augment this list tomorrow)
I will compile all of the info, then send out a copy to everyone who is on the list.
Are we doing name tags this year?
