I posted this over on the transportation board but thought the folks here might be able to help too.
Here's my situation - my car just died on me and it looks like the cost of repairs is going to be almost what the poor old thing is worth. In other words, it's kind of senseless to spend the money if I have any other alternative. Fortunately, I think I do have another option but I'm trying to do it as cheaply as possible. My mom left us a very nice truck that will be free from the probate process in a couple of weeks so we should be able to get the title changed over, get new tags, etc. I was already planning to drive that till DS gets his license. So I'm thinking that it might be more sensible to sell my old car (we have a potential buyer already) and just rent something here locally for a couple of weeks. Problem is - we live in a very small town and the only local rental place is Enterprise. Since they don't have lots of competition here, is there any chance of getting any sort of deal or discount? Does anyone know of any discount/promo codes out right now that Enterprise would honor? Also, please give me any advice you can think of. I don't want to get hit with any unexpected charges or anything when I go to turn the car in. Thanks a bunch.
