Budget car rental tips, not dollar for the time being....

With all the talk about Alamo........I figured Somebody must be using another company, besides me! lol

For some reason.........Budget.........that I've never used before............has the best rates
for my next 3 trips plus 3 X RR points for my SW FF miles.

So, I've booked Budget & went online & signed up for the Rapid Rez.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Do I need to stop at the Rental counter, or go directly downstairs??

Any other Budget advice? Thanks!

Alamo was cheap about a month ago I got a 7 day midsize for $115. I have rented with the rapid res before and the process goes much smoother. I think there is a kiosk for budget but I know there is a special line when you get there.

Thanks rhouse.

I ended up calling Budgets 800# to get my Rapid rez # on all my reservations.
Couldn't add myself online, without rate going up. lol

Was hoping it would go easy smooth like at Avis, where your Name is on the monitor
and you go directly to your car. (Dollar does that now too)

My Aug & Sept rezzies are great prices..........but end of July/early Aug.?
Oh man, Everybodys rates are HIGH.

I did some quick research and am banking on the fact that I signed up with Hertz rapid rez, and that there is a kiosk somewhere in the rental facility (maybe in the garage?).

Alamo still seems to be the best rental option with a kiosk.
Budget seems to beat alamo 25% of the time (and hopefully also has a kiosk - no waiting).

Dollar seems to have a kiosk in the garage and would be 3rd best.

Avis and National also have kiosks, but are higher end ($$$$).

cheaper options can be found if you're willing to wait in line and deal with humans.
