E-Z Rent A Car

[maxiesmom]

Just checking rates from the Tampa airport, and they are less than half of what anyone else would charge for a rental. Are they ok, as far as car rental companies go? It seems too good to be true......

I posted this over on the other thread about flying into TPA...

If you have previously purchased park tickets (or plan to for this trip), you can book a rental car from Alamo from UnderCoverTourist.com. I have AP's for this trip so I didn't need tickets, but since I have bought from them in the past (highly recommend, BTW), I was able to book the same car through Alamo for only $63.80 instead of the $87.62 I paid through the Alamo site. You might want to check them out.

I see you are also on the "West side of the mitten"...loving the lake effect snow, huh?? I have not flown into TPA as an adult (went as a child in 1983 with the family) so I am eager to try it out. I think the minor inconvenience of losing DME and renting a car will be worth saving the several hundred dollars. I was also pleasantly surprised that the price out of GRR was reasonable. It's usually SO much more.

Not enjoying the snow very much. They expect schools to be closed Tuesday, as another round is in the works.

I checked UT for car rentals, and the rate is great, out of MCO. For a car out of Tampa the rate is almost double. But thanks for the idea, it was worth a shot!
