I disagree. Customer service is a significant differentiator between rental car companies. I'm gladly paying a higher daily rate at a non-ERAC company because I get such excellent customer service there and such bad service at Enterprise.

For some customers, price may be all that matters. For "road warrior" customers, service is far more important.
