Went to Thrifty Rental Car today, to pick up my $24/day car. For 2 days, the total was supposed to be $53.00 + 18.00/day for "mandatory" insurance. Everybody was telling me that rental cars are expensive. But being the internet genius that I thought I was, I figured I found a great deal: $23+18 = $41/day.
Was I wrong. I get to Thrifty and the bill is $132 or approx. $66/day! It turns out that you have to buy two different types of insurance, $18 for liablity AND $15 for damages plus local taxes.
I asked the lady at the counter for a discount and she hooked me up. Gave me 2 days for $50/day.
Even at $50/day, its better than dealing with taxi's that are empty, but still drive by you or refuse to go in your direction.
