Rental Car Agency Questions

[aimlyles]

If there is a post out there already that has this info please let me know as I haven't found anything. We are going 2/13 and need to get a rental, right now I have reservations with Budget and National but if rates don't drop I may try using priceline to see if I can get something a bit cheaper.

Just curious what the pros/cons are on the various rental agency's at the airport....which ones do you have to be shuttled to rather than right at the airport?
Which ones allow a spouse/partner to drive for free?
Which ones have the toll pass things already in the car and if they are in the car do you have to use it/pay?
In your opinion, which agency do you prefer to use and which would you rather not?

Thanks so much for your help!!

Edit: Scratch the last question, I just saw another post asking about it?

check out www.mousesavers.com...there is a wealth of information on that site.

I have used priceline and in both cases have been very happy. Last year I traveled last week of May and ended up with a midsize car for $150 for 1 week. The car rental agency was Hertz, which is off site but really no problem to get to using their shuttle. This year I have already rented my car using priceline again for the same exact price, same company for 5/1-5/8. If you decide to use priceline, I would suggest starting low and increase by a $1 until your bid is accepted, that's what I did and ended up at $13 per day!

Good Luck
