Gina, not sure if it matters, but the Alamo quote with insiders includes an additional driver. Budget does not. With the 2 being nearly equal I will pick Alamo because its only fair that DH and I share the driving.
Yes, its one big point for Alamo vs. the reservation with Budget. Even though I don't like driving (not even at home if I can help it ) its nice to have me on as a second driver in the case of an emergency or illness.
Alamo pros = free second driver, and the ability to pick the vehicle. I can also keep watching for another two weeks and rebook if the price goes down.
Cons = I have to pay with my Visa (which charges me a conversion fee) and its currently more expensive, even without the conversion/exchange factored in.
Budget pros = cheaper overall cost and billed in Canadian funds, can be paid now (so I can stop looking and driving myself crazy!!) and earns me air miles.
Cons = assigned a vehicle/no ability to choose, a bad past experience, no free second driver, and locked in on price once we book.
lol, this is not getting any easier .
