Here are a few
other hints to
consider:
If you
don’t find anything to suit your budget with the major car rental
companies, you may want to try a consolidator. Car rental
consolidators work much like those for airlines and hotels. They
rent cars for major car rental companies but at a discount price.
The down side is that the majority of them make reservations only
through the Internet.
Here are
some others to try:
CheapCarRental also claims to have prices 30
percent lower than the rates of major car rental companies. They
rent vehicles worldwide, including some vehicles you would not
expect to see. Their selection includes cars, vans, limousines,
heavy trucks, all terrain vehicles, and luxury cars. They can be
reached at www.CheapCarRental.com
Car-Rentals-Discounts has its web site set up so
you can compare prices of all rental companies before making your
reservation. They can be reached at www.Cars-Rentals-Discounts.com
A-thru-Z
Discount Car Rentals provides discount car rentals throughout the
world. You can pick the class and type of car you would like and
location where you would like to pick it up. Check them out at www.Car-Rental.from-A-Z.com
There will
be ample methods of travel while at the reunion. However, should you
choose to travel a little out of the area, then maybe
you will need the rental car. Good Luck!
Flying to the Reunion?
How To Find The Cheapest Flights
Many members that have
pre-registered for the 2013 reunion have indicated that they
intended to arrive by air. Flying obviously is the fastest way to
travel but also one of the most expensive. It doesn’t have to cost
you an arm and a leg though. Airline consolidators specialize in
selling discounted fares for major airlines, and you can save a
bundle by using their services. Consolidators either buy airline
tickets in bulk or have a special agreement with airlines to receive
discounted tickets. In the past, consolidators only made their
tickets available to travel agents, but many now offer tickets to
the general public.
Here are a few you may want to
try:
