We were in town for CES and I always like to have a car to get around. After having a bad experience with Hertz, we were left walking to Enterprise looking for a car. I had reserved a car from Hertz online only to find out that the rate went from $128 to around $350 because it was an airport location. I know why they did not ask for my credit card online. I walked out of Hertz with them canceling my reservation.
While walking to Enterprise a woman asked if they could give us a quote. While seeing a small place that I had never heard of made me leery, I decided to give it a try. From there I met Ali at E-Z Rent-A-Car. The price that Ali gave me was cheaper than the original quote and made sense. Ali said that they did not have a lot of cars in due to CES and so he flipped the car around and asked me to pick any car, I picked the Camaro. Ali said that I was in luck. The total that was given to me was the total that he was charging for the Camaro since they only had premium cars available. Wow. I am happy.
I had already declined the added insurance, but added it since I know that rental companies give a spiff to the agent if they get insurance added (and I also had a nicer car), I decided to add the insurance and a second driver.
The car was nice, although everyone on the strip had one it looked great. I did not worry so much about scratches only noting one scratch I felt that I didn't care since I had their insurance and we were off.
It was too easy I thought. The car ran great, no problems. Everyone that I told was very impressed. I was happy. I thought that when I returned the car I was going to have an issue.
Driving in to return the car we were met by a gentleman that checked in the car. He ran around the car quickly to see that everything was great and I signed on his iPad and he emailed me my receipt. We were off to catch our flight. While waiting on the plane, everything was great. Both my colleague and I said that we were going back there again. I am one of those that when you do me right, I am loyal (and that was why I was going back to Hertz); do me wrong and I am gone. Thanks Ali (from E-Z Rent-A-Car)! See you next year!
Skip Hertz and go to E-Z Rent-A-Car.
