Budget or Dollar?

It seems that these are the only two choices we have for our trip at the end of August. All the others are either closed (arriving and leaving on a Sunday) or don't have the car we want. Which one would you pick from the above? I have an Entertainment book so I have coupons for both and I know I can get code on Mousesavers for both so its a matter of customer service at this point. Anyone with any kind of experience with either one of these I would appreciate your views. First time renting a car and especially from this airport (first time landing there also). TIA!!

Sign up on their website for the Fastlane card and it makes all the difference in the world. It's kinda like a fastpass...LOL. It stores all your info and then you can use the shorter Fastlane only line. Also, on drop off you can return the car to one of the "mobile" people instead of going inside and waiting in line again.

Always have found them to be plesant, and also when you sign up for fastlane at www.dollar.com they will send you 2 free upgrades, and you can also still use discount codes.

We've always used Budget. Have never had anything but great service, and clean vehicles from them. You may want to search around for other opinions on Dollar. I have never used them personally, but have read some not so good experiences with them.

No problems with Dollar on our last trip in December. We received prompt service as we are Fast Lane members, and we had a very clean Dodge Grand Caravan.

Thanks for the replies, anyone else care to add any experiences good or bad with either of these two? TIA
