Re: Those Who Rented A Car From Enterprise
Enterprise is mostly a local rental car company. A lot are franchises.
I use them locally but never long distance. They are cheap since local.
In Florida, all you can do is stay in Florida.
Out Of Area Rules
The other poster was right if you violate the contract, you are responsible for getting the car back to them in the condition you got it. Daily rental charges apply even while being repaired. If you total it, you just bought it. And, no, your insurance won't cover it since you broke a contract.
If you're smart, just ask the local office. Tell them what you need. They'll tell you yes or no. Budget, more expensive, might be better. I could drive them anywhere because I got unlimited miles. My AMEX covered the insurance.
GPS? I wouldn't doubt it.
Why not just fly? Cheaper in the long run. Use Priceline. I got a $350 a night room in Orlando for $99 with them. |

I just don't recommend renting it "for New England only" and then drive it to Florida and back. The downside is too nasty if you get caught. |

Worse came to worse, I would sell the $400 in certificates for like $350 and use the cash towards a different company.

And thumbs up to Trunk Monkey. That's how I would do it if I were a car rental company. Who needs hidden GPS trackers? People need immediate feedback to correct their behavior. |

I say sell the gift certs on craigslist, pocket the cash, then rent something from like uhaul or ryder. They have small trucks that were meant to cross state lines.
If its too expensive, Im sure there is something that can be found but being tied to one company may be too much trouble.
A case of penny wise, pound foolish. |

enterprise is pretty good. thats who i use for all my rental needs. i wouldnt expect to get a unlimited mileage contract for 40 dollars a day when i would be driving that amount of mileage tho. ive found enterprise to be about the cheapest going in this area tho. around here i think its like 20 dollars a day but thats for a car you dont take out of state. |

Why? All of the other car rental companies around here give unlimited mileage, all around the same price, assuming you choose the same class of car.
To the poster above...I do not want a moving truck, dont need that much space nor do I want to pay for the gas down there and back for such a big vehicle. A small passenger car is all I really need since it is two people and some baggage.

There are sever terms and conditions that must be met...
Also note some of the terms:
What is not covered?
* Any obligation you assume under any agreement (other than the deductible under your personal auto policy).
* Any violation of the auto rental agreement or this benefit.
* Injury of anyone or damage to anything inside or outside the rental vehicle.
* Loss or theft of personal belongings.
* Personal liability.
* Expenses assumed, waived, or paid by the rental agency or its insurer.
* Cost of any insurance or collision damage waiver offered by or purchased through the auto rental company.
* Depreciation of the rental vehicle caused by loss or damage including, but not limited to "diminished value."
* Expenses reimbursable by your insurer, employer, or employer’s insurance.
It does say any violation of the rental agreement.
Also, He would be paying with Gift Certificates/Gift Cards. For coverage you have to pay with your CC...

Source: » usa.visa.com/personal/cards/bene···nal.html Say for example you choose to take your rented Ford Focus off-road, and you bust an axle on a rut the size of a Utah canyon. Or you're driving drunk and crack up the rental car in an accident that was otherwise not your fault, but the cops Breathalyze you, and you fail. You paid the $13 a day or whatever to take out the extra insurance from the car rental company. And you used a credit card, not gift certificates. You still pay for the damage. Both policies are void because breached your contract with the car rental company.
Similarly, you go beyond the area you are authorized to go, the risk is greater, and you broke your contract. You have an accident, you pay. (You can try filing a claim with your own auto insurance company, but just like the other two, they will do anything they can to get out of paying the claim. And you gave them an opening by breaching your contract. They are certainly not going to pay all the charges that the rental company will level at you for going out of the authorized area.) |
