This is a story of courage and bravery, love and loss, tragedy and excitement… Just kidding. It’s not any of those things… But it is a story about seemingly unattainable goals and persistence in the face of repeated obstacles. Will the hero in this story win out? Thanks to the 40K to Far Away Challenge the Frequent Miler team has been more motivated than ever to find great ways to eke out value from our…
My family recently visited Germany where we flew into Frankfurt airport, took a train to Cologne, then rented a car to drive to Baden-Baden, drove through the black forest, visited Neuschwanstein Castle, and then spent a couple days in Munich. Overall: awesome trip. And I learned a few things about driving a rental car in Germany… #1 Autoslash is awesome Autoslash is ridiculously good at finding car rental deals. Our itinerary involved picking up our…
Last night, we wrote about $8 one-way car rentals from Florida and Arizona courtesy of Hertz. The Gate reports that Avis has one-way spring rentals from just $4.95 per day! Discounted rentals are available between April 1st, and June 30th, though the $4.95 rate is only available from April 1-May 31st. If you’re up for a late spring road trip, check out Brian Cohen’s complete analysis of the deal as well as our post last…
Hertz is currently offering rentals for $7.99 per day one-way from Florida and Arizona to select markets between April 17th, 2017 and June 15, 2017. Unlimited miles are included and rentals are limited to a maximum of 14 days. The $7.99 pricing is available across many car classes, so you are not limited to the smallest economy cars. Availability may vary depending on location and dates, but here is what I found from Key West, FL…
Chase is offering Freedom and Freedom Unlimited cardholders 10% cash back on up to $2,500 in hotel and car rental bookings made through the Ultimate Rewards portal. The terms say that you must pay with your Freedom or Freedom Unlimited card. The 10% cash back is total and does not stack on top of the typical 1%/1.5% earned on those cards. It’s always nice to save a few bucks, but don’t forget to compare with…
Intro: Over the Christmas holidays I had my first opportunity to try out Silvercar – a high end rental car company – at the Fort Lauderdale airport. My intention was to write a simple review, but I found it impossible to detangle my impression of Silvercar from the overall Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) rental car situation. In other words, I can say how Silvercar compares to other rental options at FLL, but I think it…
By Julian, author of Devil’s Advocate… Every time I rent a car, it happens. A day or two after I’ve returned the vehicle, the rental charge appears on my credit card bill. It’s roughly the expected amount, give or take a few bucks that aren’t enough to either complain or get excited about. But then a week or two later, I get that “other” charge… Somewhere in the thousands of words of rental contract fine…
Last week I wrote a short post in which I debated whether or not to accept a free car rental in exchange for a promise to write a post about my experience. I had already made my decision before publishing (and had let the rental car company know), but I didn’t declare the decision in that post. I wanted to to hear what readers thought without them being swayed by my decision. To my surprise,…
Here’s the thing… There’s a particular upscale car rental company that I’ve been eager to try out. And, as luck would have it, I’ll be traveling to one of their supported cities over the holidays. And, I’ll need a rental car. And, all of the other rental car companies are outrageously expensive during that time so this company’s fixed pricing scheme works out nicely. Perfect! But… A representative from this particular company made me an…
