That direct flight for a great price is something I think you should grab. You're gonna kick yourself if it gets snagged up. Here's a cool itinerary for Switzerland and Northern Italy that seems like it would be up your alley.
Just wow on the photos from that blog post. I need to start planning a trip!
Same. Though in the end everything on the ground melted, Minnie and Mickey Halloween blowups have a dusting of snow and the house roof has a dusting as well. Made for a darn cold Halloween but the kids who made it out got handfuls of candy for their efforts (and some came twice.
)
I had a similar problem recently and ended up booking two separate one-way flights rather than a round-trip. I was able to use points for one flight because the options weren't terrible but ended up paying cash for the return flight.
The cash flight (once I do the conversion from Euros) is about 75% of the round trip costs.
I don’t like Budget. Seems like everytime I use them they do something that messes us up.
And of course the points for the one way are about 2/3 of the total cost.
Alamo and Enterprise are owned by the same company and have shared the same pool of cars at many airports I have been to. Therefore, I wouldn't pay $50 extra for Enterprise. I have used Alamo exclusively for several years and (knock on wood) never had a problem. I do Skip the Counter, and it is awesome! Recently, I have started booking Alamo through Costco. It is cheaper and they give you the Alamo res number so you can link it in your Alamo account.
I am by no means an expert on car rentals, but Alamo consistently delivers well maintained, and clean cars for us. To be fair I’ve never used another rental car company simply because I appreciate the ease of being able to get everything registered with Alamo before the trip and skip going to the counter. At the airports we’ve rented from we can go directly to the car, pick the one we want, and off we go. No standing in line, or getting the insurance upsell. That to me is worth a lot. Also returning the cars had always been smooth and efficient wherever we’ve been. No problems with billing etc., and I always book through Costco. I hear great things about Enterprise because they are essentially the same company as Alamo, but as you posted they are consistently more expensive.
Haha! Simultaneously posting almost identical responses. You’re clearly an intelligent person
Avoid Budget!!! Gosh, so many headaches with our past rentals but we kept coming back because they're so cheap, until we said enough! One time in CA they gave us a vehicle that had been in an accident and had part of the back bumper indented and the side all scratched up. They said sorry, it's all we have left. They gave us a copy of the police report from the accident and assured us they had noted everything and we'd have no issue. We had to go and had no choice but to take it. No issues during the return, but luckily I kept the police report and had taken lots of pictures. A couple months later we got a bill from a collections agency trying to get money from us for the repair of the car we didn't crash! How did they even send the debt (which should not have been assigned to us in the first place) to a collections agency without first contacting us themselves anyway? That was such a hassle to fix, each department saying it wasn't them who could fix it. It took weeks to get it sorted and I was so worried about the collections being reported to credit agencies. We have other stories but that's really the worst, and never again after that.
Awesome. Where was the link?
Side note on this... will only receive a 1099 from Chase for $600 or more right? So if we've each (DH and I) referred each other once this year for 40k each time, neither of us should get 1099s, correct?
