Re: [vpFREE] Re: XVP -- rental cars

 

I have found that a lot of rental car companies are now charging for a spouse to drive. Part of the nickel and dime policies of most rental car outfits. If booking through an outfit like AAA you may have this fee waived. It's worth checking out.

Wow!  I'm shocked that the rental car company even rented to someone (your brother-in-law -- who was the driver) without a credit card in HIS name.  Or was the car rented in your name with him as an "additional" driver?  Just wondering.
 
Only asking because my husband and I rented a vehicle (through Payless -- whom we despise -- but were the cheapest this time around for a weekly rental) and they (Payless) told us that I (spouse) would have to pay a daily additional "driver" charge because the rental was under my husband's name.  What???!!!  When did that happen?  Usually spouses were "covered" drivers with no additional fees!  Was that a line of crap?  Have all rental car companies changed this policy?
 
I'm usually standing at the rental pickup counter with my husband and I just happened to "casually" ask that question (about me authorized to drive the vehicle) to the counter agent when we were initialing and declining all extraneous charges that they usually try to foist upon us.
