For my upcoming Las Vegas trip, I booked a two-day rental from Budget at $65.64. That was the lowest price I saw, thanks to Autoslash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As mentioned in another blog, I rebooked my return flight to save miles on Southwest. This caused my rental-car dropoff time to be later and went outside of the two-day original rental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My original rental was pick up at 11 a.m. (10:30 flight arrival) and drop off at 9:30 a.m. (noon flight departure). My new departure time is 2:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I figured I could stretch the pickup to noon (and maybe do a little airport slot hustling) and make my drop off at 12 noon as well. There is a 29-minute grace period with Budget as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you book through Autoslash, they use Priceline to manage the actual booking. So first I contacted Autoslash and they said they couldn\u2019t make any changes. Then I contacted Priceline and they told me the same thing. If I rebooked the reservation through Autoslash, the rate was now $77.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, I called Budget directly (the rental company I had chosen). After a four-minute wait, I was connected and Budget had no issues with changing the pickup and dropoff times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you use Autoslash, once you make the reservation, you cannot modify it. The same with Priceline. The pleasant surprise what that the rental car company itself was so accommodating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I criticize rental car companies a lot (and rightfully so). In this case, I\u2019m giving Budget the praise that it\u2019s due.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
