[quote=Anonymous]Definitely book the car online before arriving at the airport. Prices are always better and you can usually cancel with no penalty. Sometimes I book more than one to be safe. Always print out our confirmation. Sometimes they can't find the reservation or don't have the price you booked attached.  I always book smallest cheapest if it is just me or me and spouse. We have almost always been offered a free upgrade. If you are traveling with kids book the smallest ou would be comfortable in. You still may be offered a free upgrade.

Definitely pay attention to where the cars are located. Rental agencies will say "in airport" even if they just have a desk there and the cars are elsewhere. So e airports, like Miami, have all the cars off site. I usually call if I have any doubt and ask where the cars are located.

I always decline collision etc. because our credit card company offers protection for rental cars but depending on the city, you may actually come out even on the gas to have them refill it. Research local gas prices before you go. We declined on one of our recent trips (either Tampa or Miami) and found out the agency refill price was actually a couple cents per gallon less than the street price.[/quote]
