Timmy,
As a regular reader here, and trying to be fair to everyone, I firmly believe ALL the sponsors here are pretty good guys but the difference in companies is often what you, the consumer, is expecting from your rental company.
Some posters here rent their cars strictly on the basis of price and ten or twenty dollars can be the difference. Others look for a particular service from 'their guy' or the type of plates they might have on their rental cars. Some want to pick their cars up at the airport and some want them delivered to their resort as opposed to going to an office in a van to wait while the paperwork is done. So in the end, it's more about what you're looking for than who someone else might use.
No surprise I think 'my guy' is the best but so does everyone else, I'm sure, so that probably isn't much of a help, but as much as we love Kenny's, I'd also give a big shout out to Unity, too, because his guys have always been very nice and one time they actually called Lesley for me when our flight arrived early and we cleared the airport in no time at all and he was running a little late. Bottom line, I think they're probably all pretty decent to do business with. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
Respectfully,

Should we be concerned with any of them? Just one that I know of, seems like the others are all good. I'll PM you.

Should we be concerned with any of them? We've used Alain for several years now, and have always been pleased with his cars, service, and price. He appreciates loyalty, and rewards his loyal repeat customers with his nicer vehicles at the same low price. At least that's been my experience.

Thank You GaKaye, I believe repeat customers should be appreciated in some way. Either a discount or a small perk. Unfortunately, one of the highly regarded sponsors here on TTOL who we have used 4 times actually raised his rates and quoted us significantly higher than all these other sponsors. I will try Alain.

Super great service, can't go wrong. is it typical for him to take a day or so via email to respond?

We rented from Travel Rent a Car a few years ago, and unfortunately, will not do so again. The rental special at the time included a full tank of gas, which we did not receive. The owner was also going to charge us for "excess sand" and I was not a happy camper.
We are very happy with Empress, Unity and Kenny.

I am noticing a significant (more than $10) difference.
I'll PM you Timmycs, I sent you a pm.
