Was going to be like $300 to add me so she just drove everywhere instead....it was fucking awesomesauce (for me) but we complained to everyone under the sun when we got home, fuckers

The lesson here is to go to Universal Hollywood. You can take the subway there. -- nm - Yoda Jan 6, 09:38
Every ounce of frustration you have with them is on purpose. Get you to spend extra $$. -- nm - budice Jan 6, 09:17 1
- oh for sure, see the up-sell post below. They never got an extra nickle from us though -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 09:18
Same thing happened to me in Ireland. My cousin had to drive pretty much the entire trip. - sycor Jan 6, 09:16 1
- same for me, we did alot of driving which I normally would have had to do, so I loved it :) - Beaker Jan 6, 09:17
and the constant up-selling was another piss off. "Alright we have you all booked for Car A, tha'll be $250" um, it was all pre-paid with the package - Beaker Jan 6, 09:15 4
- I have never had any problems like this. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 6, 09:18 3
  - Me neither but I don't rent all that often. - iSpam Jan 6, 09:21 1
    - True. Which in hindsight, is a bad thing. - Spawn Solo Jan 6, 09:24
  - where it was through a package (Sunwing iirc) we figured they were just trying to milk us -- nm* - Beaker Jan 6, 09:20
Did they charge a daily second driver fee? -- nm - spamlet Jan 6, 09:14 1
- it was all booked for us both, see above; they were super scammy -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 09:16
