Here it is almost the middle of March and other than inquiries and airline reservations we have not moved ahead much. Part of this is our schedules being so hectic, and part it the need to look over the itinerary now that we have added one day at the front of the trip and 4 additional days at the end of the trip. Want to make sure we have planned for the time we want to have a rental car and not be stuck somewhere needing to travel across country at the last minute.
This post is about rental cars. I've been doing a lot of searching for the best prices and thought I had found a deal. Yesterday when I went to check the reservation again I realized that the car I was looking at was a manual. I can drive a stick shift, I'd just prefer not to. As I dug deeper in the "more info" on the site, I realized that the reason this rental cost was so good was also because the CDW was not included. That can run anywhere from 14 to 19 euros a day. For a 24 day rental like ours, that's a pretty penny.
So back to Thrifty.ie and I think we'll be getting something very small to save some money. So at this point we're looking at a Nissan Micra, or something similar. Sounds really, really small. We could upgrade to a VW Golf for about another 75 euros. We'll see.
I've used Thrifty before and it was just fine. In fact, compared to the other major car rental places their prices are better than the rest. Just when I thought I had a deal. Make sure you read the fine print! :)
I also get the feeling it's going to be totally packed with our luggage.
