Renting a car in Minnesota.

It was a dark misty night. The next day I was going on a trip to see my girlfriend in Minnesota. I knew that the only way that I would be able to get around is if I rented a car, but i wanted the best rate that i could get. I went online and was checking out the different web sites that offer rental car deals. All of the sites had discounted rates, but the one that really caught my eye was Rental Car Momma. Not only did it have the cheapest rates but it also had all of the rental car companies throughout the nation. I quickly jumped on the great deal that i found and made my reservations. Now the only thing left to do was to get there and pick the car up.

As we were on our decent to land I kept thinking to myself how much I could not wait to lay down in my bed and get some rest. All of this traveling had wore me out. But then it began to set into me how much headache I'm going to have to go through from here to there. Between getting my bags and then the hassle of the rental car its going to be frustrating. We landed in the airport and I went to baggage claim to get my bag. As I was walking to the baggage claim I received a phone call from my girlfriend. She said that she was already there waiting for me at the baggage claim. After receiving my bag I met up with my girlfriend and we proceeded to Thrifty for my rental car. I'm going to be totally honest, I was very nervous when I went to get my rental car. I had made my reservations before hand with Rental Car Momma but I wasn't sure exactly how it worked or if it even worked for that matter.

I approached the counter and the nice lady asked me for my photo id. She looked me up in the computer and sure enough I had already made my reservations for my rental car. Just out of curiosity i asked her how much it would be if i had not made my reservations. She quickly turned to her computer, typed some numbers in and told me an absolutely outrageous amount. Someone that had not made reservations was going to have to pay almost double what I was! I figured since I got such a low rate that I was going to have to pay some additional fees. That, however, was not the case. The lady told me my total and then asked me for my credit card. I payed my dues, she handed me the keys and we were on our way. It was so simple it almost didn't seem real.

I drove off the rental car lot and could not believe the deal that I had just got. From there we had to celebrate not only me arriving but also the money that I had just saved by booking through Rental Car Momma. From now on I will always make reservations with Rental Car Momma so I can get the cheapest rate on rental cars.
