Sounds pretty cheap. The lowest price is not always the best but perhaps it will work out for you. Good luck. I have only used Kenny's or Unity if renting with another couple.

Never used them. Using ACE for $110 in August and $125 in November for a week each time. Thanks Zeus....Ace is $204 to $223 for our time on island. Will watch for reports on your experiences. Cheers

Is that with a stick or an automatic? It may be more if you prefer an automatic transmission. But, it sounds promising. Hopefully stick. Doesn't everyone drive stick when they have the choice? Even in Toronto's brutal traffic, where during the 5 pm rush hour it has taken us 1 hr 23 minutes to go the 10.3k from city hall to home, I prefer the control of a manual.

I would think most people prefer automatic. A lot of people don't even know how to drive a stick. I used to drive a stick, years ago. Triumph Spitfire. Cute little car, when it ran..
End of thread drift, to ME something seems amiss with that price, for February. Something about a deal too good to be true??

Something about a deal too good to be true?? My feelings as well....Ollie North may be a silent partner. Admit it Carol, you miss the windblown look! Triumphs and MG's WERE fun to drive but were certainly finicky. Something about that era of British built cars but they generally had crappy electronics. Even the Jags of the 60's and 70's. I see a Triumph or MG today and think "there is NOTHING protecting you 2 from other people's bumpers"

Oh yeah, my Spitfire used to cut OFF while I was going up I 95 at 60 mph.. (Looking UP at the bottom of the semi trucks..)
Not sure what Ollie North has to do with it, but I think I would stay away from that quote.

I would be careful. Could be a bait and switch quote and not honored at pick up. When trying the Budget site I was prompted for our Amazon Prime account with the promise of lower rates. NOT! Once you log in one finds out that it only applies to N/A continental rentals....now Budget web gurus have our Amazon linkage. Even the big names on the web are sneakily lurking just above the legal / non-legal threshold of misleading info that their lawyers crafted. Price wise it was another almost too good to be true....Sonata for $175 plus taxes / airport fee whereas all of their mini / subcompacts / compacts were $220 plus taxes / airport fee

Everybody spends a very significant number of hundreds of dollars on airfare, as well as hundreds on dollars each night on lodging. Then after all of that worry about $20 to $50 a week on what car then rent regardless of the service and issues associated. Go local, go with a good reputation, don't go cheap here. With that said, I have rented from seven different companies and have not had one single issue with any of them, but they were all local named companies on the French or Dutch side. I personally avoid the corporate name places like Hertz, Sixt, or the others that pay franchise fee's to post that name.
I prefer the Isle seat
