    Renting a car

    Goodbye S54 swap money.

    You looked so lovely in my bank account.

    The phrase "under budget" and weddings/honeymoon costs don't go together. :(


    On a side note, because I know R3v is made up of a bunch of (cheapies) aka thrifties, what are your favorite economy car rental sites?


    Im booking it for 9 days to Hawaii, the best I found was 45 per day(taxes included) for a Focus.


    I hope there are better deals than that.


    Thanks!

      Price seems fair to me. Check Costco, I rent all my cars through them.

          Your going to hawaii? Rent bicycles. Riding bikes is fun, you get to enjoy the scenery, you get good exercise, and it's cheap!

            No its still through Budget, Hertz, Avis etc. you just get a good deal reserving through the Costco website.

                  I went to Greece for my honeymoon a couple of months back and on one of the islands (Santorini) we rented a moped and I don't see a better way of seeing such a beautiful place and getting from place to place cheaply.

                    came to say this- you can sit in traffic in a ford focus on the mainland.

                          Moped or biking. You really do not need a car in Hawaii.

                              Scooter or bikes. The island isnt that big and most everything is within riding distance. Maybe need a car for one day to actually drive around the island.
                              I have friends who are EOD bro.

                              That's awesome. I have friends who make coffee for a living, but you don't see me rocking out a bunch of lattes
