I always do Priceline and put in a rate of usually $15 or so, and when I get it it is almost always with Avis. $15 a day is hard to beat, especially when their own websites start at something like $34 a day.

Usually Hertz or Avis.. If one supported moto, yes I would look at them first.

I use Priceline. you have to put your card in to name your price but it's easy, I got a Full size car for 3 days in Vegas for 11 bucks a day..hell thats a compact price. I bid a 1/3 of what they're going for and usually gets taken

Whats this Uber all about? If you can get a lift anywhere why not use that?

Yes I would support them. I went out of my way earlier this year to buy from Discount Tire when they weren't the best deal on some wheels and tires (~$2500). But since they support MX/SX, I went with them anyway. I'll support just about any company I can that comes into sponsoring our MX/SX/AX sport.

Avis or Hotwire. Avis only because they give me a business discount. Hotwire because it's cheap. I wouldn't go to a rental company solely because they sponsor a race team, if they are farely priced and have the same range of models as others and the same insurances I would consider it. But if they sponsored a race team with Pourcel and J-Law on it I would go there even if their only car model was a Lada Niva.

I travel every week. Just earned lifetime diamond status with Hilton, Diamond Delta status, Presidents Circle with Hertz, and Executive Elite with National.

I had used Hertz the last 10yrs but just switched to National. Hertz's fleet is in terrible condition. Even with my status, I continually got cars with >40k miles. They were disgusting and mechanically questionable.

Switched to National and its a dramattic difference. Consistently better service and cars in much better condition. Usually

My sister and daughter would have supported the hell out of them last week in St. Louis. I personally would be more into supporting an airline that sponsors moto. That would be cool.

I rent from enterprise just about every week. I have a corporate account, good rates, damage waiver keeps the bs down, and I love how they let you pick the car.

In Europe I go with Hertz although last time in Milano for the Italian GP they ran out of cars and it turned into a mad dash to get to another location before everyone else in line. As Seinfeld says, they know how to take the reservation but they don't know how to hold the reservation and isn't that the most important part?

Enterprise would win the championship by buying up all the other teams and shutting them down. Then they wouldn't show up but to a few of the races.

Oops, I meant to agree with Enterprise/National! I have rented from them tons of times with no issues.

Avis added on $155 in insurance when I verbally said "no" to the guy and he confirmed verbally, then tacked it on anyway and I noticed it later and they told me "sorry, it's on the bill".

The Enterprise team will show up in a dirty 18 wheeler with the previous teams stuff still in it.

Yes they do. Similar to Enterprise, National and Alamo being owned by the same company.
