had very bad time last year with rental car experience. Can anyone help with a recommendation on where I should go??? Thrifty is not an option this time round. dealt with Travel rent a car about 7years ago, no issues. Bringing family with us this time round so really not looking for any scam artists there. hard enough policing here at home let alone while I'm on vacation.

Check with Kenny's, he is listed on our sponsor page. I have used him about 10-12 times and won't use anyone else. Your contact name would be Lesley Bruce.

MelandI,

Surprised you haven't heard of him - he's been in business longer than that, I'm sure. We just returned from another good trip, having used Lesley for about the 30th or so time. He met us at the airport with our car and had us under way in less than five minutes with no need to make another stop along the way and likewise on the return. <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,

pat

I have used Alain Arnell from AAA car rental for years. His pricing and service can't be beat!!!! He also is a sponsor here. You can also do a search of car rental threads here....and you will find the same names over and over.

I would like to suggest Leisure Car rental (Sponsor). I have used the last 3 years- very close to the airport. Great customer service, competitive rates. Have reservation for Feb 2016 with them already.

Just rented from Lesley Bruce this week. Was super fair price and pickup was a breeze right at the airport. Dropping the car off tomorrow. Would use him again.

another thumbs up for Kenny's, Leslie did most of the paper work through email, picked us up at the airport. Our name on card board , drove to his car and finished the CC info. He picked up the car at the Simpson Bay Resort a week later, and even came up to the condo and got the bags. A+ service

Thanks Dear , Holiday was when the Island was awesome. Those days , the visitors for the most part was Home Owners at Mullet , and hence they came with big suitcases and well dressed. The Casino was the Top of the Line in those days, just visiting it was wow. Good ole days .

Yes! Things were different back then...I personally had 3 cases and a hanging garmet bag....so the dresses didn't get wrinkled or crushed. Hubby had almost as many and a golf bag. Those were also before the days of airline luggage fees. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cloud.gif" alt="" />

IMO
Best standard response to your question has appeared many times on this board: Use a TTOL sponsor!
I'm always amazed when someone uses a car rental agency, usually because of a "low bid" price and ends up being disappointed with poor service or costly surprises.
We are loyal to Unity but all sponsors, while not always the cheapest, will offer you the best value.

Agree - used him for my last 4 visits - good service, fair price, no hidden extras & a TTOL Sponsor.
