speaking of which.. if you only need the car to go to work and go home... might end up cheaper calling a cab...

good luck dailo!

No transit in your area? Car pool? Buddy? Cab? Rent a wreck

that's probably some sort of fleet rate - it's your insurance that's paying for it, right? the rental places are probably billing them $100 a day.

there's a yellow s2000 sitting in Creemore collecting dust.

I'm sure the DoGMan wouldn't mind if you gave him some $$ to have fun for a few days

mann, 50 bucks for a maxima is dirt cheap...i think thats a corporate rate... but i thought you were a photographer? thanks for your help anyway... taking a cab is an option however i thought renting a low end vehicle for a day was only 20 bucks...

wing: yeah i can take the bus but its so cold and windy outside... haha.. im just a lazy guy

s2ksimon - creemore sounds kinda far... any chance close to deerhurst?

thanks

Rich

call enterprise... they have cars starting at 30/day... adding taxes and wavers and all of that, you'd be looking at 40

you could also rent 'older' model cars through the various non-franchise shops... those run as low as 20/day

to save a few bucks more... check your credit card to see if it covers your loss-damage waiver
