I'm sure I'm just taken in by all those cute young women barely out of college they put in there. They've been real nice to me. Maybe I remind them of their daddies. :) Business section of SD union-tribune a while back had an article about how Enterprise was successful by applying a formula of hiring new grads and making them managers. The Hertz and Avis I've been to over the last few years were close to rude, hiding behind rules (for example, Avis wouldn't give me a car reserved by a business associate who had to cancel, so I went over to Hertz with a coupon, and they directed me to a phone because the coupons were only good with phone reservations. The reserved special was worse than the walk-up price. So I went back to Avis 'cause I knew they had an extra car, and it was cheaper. Enterprise was booked out.). > >last time i was there i told him i wanted to decline and he said that even >though credit cards come with insurance sometimes it doesn't cover the >cost of the car while it's in the shop. so if the car is in the shop for >a week, you have to pay for another week of rental. dunno if it's true >but i told him to go screw himself....and didn't opt for it. I don't trust any of them near as far as I could throw them. But I'm even less a fan of insurance companies and credit companies. > >Dan. >-- >Daniel Paik http://www.hanguk.com/uctt >hey, go check out http://www.hanguk.com! >"crude...but effective" >spam sites : root@[127.0.0.1] postmaster@[127.0.0.1] webmaster@[127.0.0.1] irene@prowebsite.com support@prowebsite.com yvette@prowebsite.com fred@prowebsite.com root@prowebsite.com postmaster@prowebsite.com webmaster@prowebsite.com -- These opinions are my own and not necessarily those of Information Quest jgarry@eiq.com http://www.informationquest.com http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/joel_garry "See your DBA?"
