Enterprise huh.. I forget who owns them (if anyone). Ford owns Hertz, GM
owns Avis, and Mopar owns Thrifty - just so everyone knows :-) I guess I'm
just a tad anal.. I am taking a trip the first of May, and I had to be sure
there was a Thrifty there! Believe it or not, Newark, and LGA do not have
Thrifty's - But Stewart field (Newburgh) does! That sort of surprised me a
little, but made me happy - since it will take car of some of my driving :-)
Being originally from the Kingston, NY area - we (Myself and the famn
damily) will fly into Newburgh - pick up a Stratus, drive to Hawley, PA for
my cousin's wedding. Then we will drive up to the Kingston area - see some
family & some friends I have never met in person (gotta love the internet),
drive back to Newburgh - and fly back to Denver. It's gonna be real busy
weekend trip! oh yeah.. back to the subject - I figure I drive enough of the
other cars when I work/mod friends cars, I wanna rent something that I know
I can trust :-)
