Our experience with Rental Cars...
Round-Trip Car Rental
If you are staying at one of our Townhomes, please read this....
In general, I rent our vehicles on www.Priceline.com. I typically "bid" for the vehicle and get cars for about $20 per day and Mini-Van's for $35 per day. We have never rented an SUV - but we are cheap - and I grew up driving in snow in New England. For more on 4x4's, click here... Note: when renting a car on a site like Priceline, there is typically no refund for cancellation or change of plans. Tip: If we have more than two people in the car - consider a mini-van. They handle well in the snow. When picking up or vehicle, I do check to make sure the tread is good. In fact, I ask for the newest car (at the rental desk - to help ensure this). If you are very concerned about driving in snow (and don't want to rent an expensive SUV), you might want to consider buying chains at Walmart - and return them on your way back - if you don't use them :-) Lastly, stay away from rear wheel drive - if at all possible. |
