Cheap longer term car rental?
 
Hey folks. Sold the gf's car last week, need a vehicle to use until the new car comes in.
Does anyone know of any smaller car rental comanies that have inexpensive rentals? Thinking about 4-5 weeks.
Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,
j

Try A Plus Rent a Car in Richmond Auto Mall and also North Vancouver.

I'm pretty sure that if it's 4 - 5 weeks you guys can work something out.

I hope your gf is over 25. Otherwise you get jewed by EXTRA insurance premiums during the rental.

Probably cheaper to buy an old beater in the <$500 CL category...

how about those co-op auto network stuff?

talk with the dealership your g/f is getting the new car from. They have alliances with rental companys and you will get a better deal.

transit?

remember to double check your insurance policy for your car when renting automobiles.
they will ask you to buy insurance that you might already be covered under.

might save a couple bucks

thx for the input ppl.
all good, luckily ended up being able to borrow her bro's second vehicle.

flagella 10-31-2010 11:24 PM

yep, borrowing friend's car is the cheapest option.

jigjag 11-01-2010 12:35 AM

Hell ya. ESP when it's a 99 full load Cherokee. Except the heater fan doesn't work. All gud tho. 100$ fix.

Btw, "Jew" comment so lame. And transit, Bwahahahaha...feasible but she needs to load stuff up for our shop. Plus transit is too "yucky" for her. Bah.
Happy Halloween ppl, bout to blast off 2 g's worth of fireworks!!$
