Bobcat,

Loved it! Lol......and while Jerry got a car, albeit a little one, it SURE beats driving a big old full sized van on SXM, which we did for three days that trip.

And a few years before that, having rented from Budget for years without any problems, we arrived at the Budget location to pick up our car and the gal we always dealt with told us yes, they had our reservation but didn't have any cars for us. What?! The next obvious question being, " when will you have one?" to which she answered she had no idea. No apology or signs of feeling bad. She did ask us where were we staying and she'd call us if she got a car in soon. Really? And when would that be? No clue.

Needless to say, that was our last rental experience from any of the big named but local rental agencies on the island and the cause of our turning to the local guys for the service we want and expect and, thankfully, have gotten ever since making the move.

And apologies to the OP since, as so often is the case here, this thread has taken a slightly different turn than he intended. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
