Renting a convertible

Oh, NO, I sincerely hope the PT's are in low inventory and the Sebrings are high. I would rather walk than drive one of those underpowered vehicles.

Definitely!! We would want a Sebring too!

I returned our PT cruiser coupe because we hated it and wanted a convertible. I took a quick look at the PT cruiser convertible but knew my wife would kill me if I came back with one! They told me getting a Sebring wasn't a problem, but that many people wanted the PT's. Hope that they keep the Sebrings in the fleet since they are larger and more powerful than the PT's!

We have a convertible through Alamo.

Now, its just my self and my 13 year old daughter. She would think the PT is cool, but maybe the Sebring would be better. Will we get the choice? We are picking ours up at the airport, so you would think they would have the most cars there, or maybe not?

We have one large suitcase, one small, a backpack and a weekend bag. With the backseat AND the trunk, this should be fine, shouldn't it room wise?

With Alamo and National you get to select the car you want.
I would go with the Sebring.

You are quite welcome. Sebrings are my first choice, but, if your DD likes the PT convert and it has enough space, go with it. Both are good cars, I just think the PT is very under powered and I drive like a wild woman. LOL

Where or when do you get to select the car? I have a convertible on reserve with National for our Palm Springs trip 2/27/05 - 3/4/05. The only thing that comes up in "std. convertible". So do you select on site?

BTW, got a rate of $ 280.26 using AARP. Once new Entertainment codes come out, will add that on.

Thanks,
Nancy

You get to pick out your car at the garage.

280.26 is a good rate!!!! You cannot add the entertainment code to the AARP code. Only one code at a time, BUT, you can use a coupon with any code.

Oops...meant Entertainment coupon...I should be able to apply that to AARP rate. I thought the $280.00 rate was a good one too; I certainly have a while to keep checking for rates to come down. But as I've learned in the past, sometimes it's better to have a reservation on the books and do that, as opposed to waiting and checking for rates to come down. Sometimes they don't!

Thanks as always for your help.
