Gonna Rent at Sky Harbor

Okay Enterprise employees, I feel for you. I really do.
And I like you too.
Okay, now that that\\\'s out of the way I will be renting a car the first week of October for 7 days. I can only afford to get the cheap Aveo after I pay for the CDW all week. What does it take to get an upgrade to a nice car? I\\\'m willing to do almost anything (not have sex though). I want a nice car for the cheap car price. Don\\\'t forget, I\\\'m going to take the CDW so that will help your stats.

few things you can do.
first and foremost is hope that the branch won't have your compact and will be forced to give you a free upgrade...they will try to charge you for this by phantom selling so don't fall for it.
the question is have you already booked the deal? i'd wait till a day before and book it online. do it after business hours the day before. for your sake hopefully they won't have a ccar available. but it could backfire and they could have nothing at all, which could still benefit to you if you bitch hard enough (though time wise it could set you back)
wtf would you waste money on CDW for a week? what type of ins policy do you have? why pay for CDW if you have ins?

Sorry CW, I have to disagree with you on this one. Why use your own insurance to cover a car you don't own? Sure, if you have an actual traffic accident, your insurance company finds out anyway and may raise your rates or drop you, but what if the car gets stolen or vandalized or the windshield gets chipped by a rock? I'd rather drive with the peace of mind that If the car gets stolen or damaged, I'm off the hook. $800 is the going rate for a punched lock in Hawaii (which, BTW is the most common damage to rental cars here). I realize it may be different there, but I'm not willing to pay my deductible for a car I don't own, no matter what the situation. Car insurance companies don't differentiate between a rock chip or a punched lock or a rear end collision in a rental car. A claim is a claim is a claim. You cost the insurance company money, and they get it back from you by raising your rates. They get away with it because they know if you try to go to a different insurer, you'll pay even more or get denied because you are now a risk. Furthermore, there are only like 8 states that offer insurance policies which cover that nasty loss of use charge that the car rental company has the right to charge, whether they actually do or not. Do you want to take that chance? Other than the CDW issue, I agree with you totally.
