Ease of Travel

As competition increases, so do perks and conveniences and competition in the car rental business is as high as ever. CNNMoney had an article today with a list of all the popular perks that Alamo, Budget, Hertz, and Enterprise offer their rental customers. Hertz even offers a free tank of gas! Recently I rented a mini-van from Thrifty and found that it even has Sirius Satellite radio! Read on for a list of some of the great perks.

The following are all excerpts from the article:

Alamo Rent A Car:

Alamo will now permit all customers to check in online and head straight to their designated car, bypassing the rental counter altogether — a perk normally reserved for the industry’s best customers.

Budget Rent A Car:

Budget, according to USA Today, is offering $2 off its daily rate to companies that rent five or more times a year.

Hertz:

Hertz, for instance, offers a free tank of gas and double airline frequent-flier miles for some rentals. Companies are installing more cars with satellite radio and navigation systems, USA Today said.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car:

Enterprise Rent-A-Car is running an online sweepstakes that promises to give away 29 trips to the Professional Bull Riders world championship in Las Vegas in November. Airfare, hotel and tickets are included.
