We've been going to the Surb Club for years and have used Alamo since 2005. My rental last year was not good. I complained to Alamo upon returning home and was given a good refund. So, since I know that Alamo's cars are not updated, which company should we use with a good price for 9 days? Our trip is next month. I have used Tropic in the past, but at least 10 years ago.

Tropic is the best but you have to reserve several months ahead.

CarVenience.com. My kids are going July 15-22 and are renting a Hyundai Accent 4 door, quoted $209 with taxes and liability insurance with $150 deductible, free second driver and free mileage. Also mentioned that cars are 2017 and 2018 models. Is that reasonable?

Tropic was sold out for our trip this past spring so I asked them for recommendations, and they sent me to Wheels2Go, as I recall (at least I think that's how I got to them). I was satisfied with Wheels2Go and was glad to have a local company.

Thanks so much. We booked with Tropic for 9 days. He advised us to be aware of the high winds while parking at the Surf Club. Their cars are being returned with dents in the doors. I know about those winds. You really have to hold on to the doors while entering/exiting.

I always rent from Tropic or Wheels2Go. Used Wheel2Go last summer and was very pleased.

I got an Alamo car using Chase points. It was old, beaten up, and had manual locks. So strange that Alamo, an international organization, has such crappy cars in their fleet.
