Never rented from Hurts or Thirsty before. Budget I've rented from
before - believ eit or not they are a little bit cheaper. When I went
out to Jon's for Daktoberfest - I went with Dollar - very pleased with
them - the Intrepid I rented was wonderful - I LOVE that car. I still
want to buy one (I'm waiting to see what the new full size platform has
to offer) The last time I rented was the week before I bought the
Jeep... rented from Enterprise - got a brand new 2003 Chevy Cavalier.
(almost got a Neon, but someone rented it right before me!) It is an
economy car and didn't pretend to be anything accept one. Was great on
gas mileage - and the engine had more power than I would have expected
from a chevy 4 banger - I was impressed with its pep. But that was all
it had going for it. Interior was cramped - controls are akward and
forget about trying to adjust the climate controls with a drink in the
cup holder.
But Enterprise seemed to be a good deal - customer service was good. I
liked Dollar better.
