I rented from one of the “discount” companies in California on recommendation from USAHostel San Diego.

A mistake.

Rent-a-Car companies already are amongst the most hated type of corporations. Their deceptive pricing offers ($15 A DAY!), vague terms and surprise additional charges are the norm.

Competition is so fierce, it’s tough to make a buck in this business.

In Arizona I could rent a $15,000 car for less than a $1000 mountain bike. What’s up with that?

Blogosphere, consider this a “Express Rent-a-Car Sucks” post. It does. I should have gone to a big name company.
