Have you used AutoSlash? If so, were you able to save money? Also, let me know if you think I should just go with the cheaper reservation options. It possible that I'm being too cautious or picky about the car rental company. 😄

I have also tried low budget rental car companies and have had poor experiences. Though they are not my favorite, I do book through them once in a blue moon when my budget is tight.

Yeah, that's how I feel as well. If it's just a short rental, then I don't really mind using the budget brands. But if it's a longer rental or for a more specific purpose (e.g., SUV for national parks), then I prefer to stick with the more established rental car brands. 😊

@6:10 I COMPLETELY agree with you about not always using the 'cheapest' company. We have personally had a negative experience with Fox and would NEVER use them again, even if the rental were free! We like Enterprise because of the 'sprouse drives for free' feature. I can't wait to use AutoSlash because when we visit family in the Denver area the rentals are always super expensive.

Here is an interesting lesson for International car rentals! Recently, traveled to Romania. I booked my plane ticket and car rental on one of the major travel websites here in the US. I booked the car, and I purchased the full coverage insurance for the vehicle for $176( July 2019). The day before our travel, the car rental agency ( which is located at the capital's international airport) called us to verify that we are coming. At this point we found out that the online insurance that we purchased is useless and they don't accept it. If we want to use it, that is fine but they will need a $2000 deposit for the car. The other option was to buy insurance in person when we arrived from them for about $50/day. The US travel agency was nice and refunded the money for the insurance that we have purchased. After that, we ended up choosing other arrangements and didn't get the car at all.

Yikes! That sounds like a nightmare. Glad it all worked out though. Renting a car abroad can definitely be more challenging. I remember reading a story recently of someone who rented a car in Italy, only to get charged months after their rental for speeding tickets (captured via camera). 😬

I rent a lot of vehicles on my trips and I’ve had horrible experiences with enterprise. They tend to have hidden fees that are never disclosed even when you ask if there’s any hidden fees. My choice of rental cars is Alamo. They let you walk up and pick the exact car you want and you pay what was asked on the site.

Thanks for the heads up! I might look at Alamo as well. I think they had an even lower price than Enterprise. 👍

Trip Astute most of the time, that tends to be the case. But the best part that excites me is that they won’t hand you keys to a certain vehicle in the category you chose. You pick your category and then show up and hope in the vehicle you want from that category and drive off and check out at the gate.

Very helpful! Thanks! I hadn't heard of Autoslash before. Regarding companies I'm usually wary of ones I don't know well in case an accident happens and there are complications with dealing with the car rental agency.

@6:40 that previous video LINK BOX is not linked to anything when I clicked on it. =( Also, are the AutoSlash links actually something that will give you credit? They don't appear to be and I'd like for you to get credit if it is possible.

Hmm ... the in-video card seems to be working on my end. I’ll have to ask Fiona to try it on her computer. In the meantime, there is also a link to the video in the video description. 😊 Thanks for wanting to give us credit. However, we don’t have any relationship with AutoSlash. Though I was really impressed with the service, so I highly recommend them. 👍

I’m looking at autoslash now!!! Question though, if you book through Priceline, can you still use your status to upgrade? I have the platinum for emerald aisle and united club car for presidents circle with hertz ultimately giving me free upgrade. Thanks in advance!

That's a good question. My guess is no, which means that you'll have to weigh the cost vs benefit. I can definitely see how those perks would be worth paying a bit extra too. 👍

@@TripAstute I made the reservation and selected to pay at the 'counter'. I was able to enter my national # into the reservation and it comes with free cancellation. As soon as I received the email that the reservation was made, I checked my national app and it already published in there. I called national to ensure I would get executive emerald access and they confirmed it. TLDR: If you select to pay at the counter and ensure you enter your program #, you should be good to go! If you want screenshots to show proof to add to your videos or anything, feel free to find me on instagram @marcadamski and ill PM them to you

this a email I got from AUTOSLASH Since we’re a free service that simply helps you find the best coupons and discounts for your rental, we don’t have the resources to hire the staff to operate a telephone call center, so we’re not able to provide telephone support at this time. If you're at the counter and need help, you can send us an email with "URGENT" in the subject

It's definitely an automated service. When I used them, I booked directly with the car rental company using the affiliate link provided by AutoSlash. It worked well for me, but I understand that not everyone is comfortable with that process.
