Getting a Ride

Kit Kat and Little Kat are out visitng their grandparents. Grandma works and grandpa has places to go and things to do. I figured it would be nice if the kids had a car of their own to drive around in. Previously I had rented from Alamo on our Ohio trip. They told me I could add Kit Kat as an extra driver for $25 more a day. I figured we could look into this for Kit Kat.

I used Expedia. Found out that Advantage car rental has even cheaper prices. Now we needed to decide on which size car to rent. Kit Kat wanted something comparable to her Honda Fit. I would think that might be an Economy or Compact car. Unfortunately at Advantage that might mean a Mazda 3 or even worse, a Mitsubishi Mirage. Too small.

We settled on a full size car. Kit Kat and I tried to call to make a reservation. However the company told us that the best prices we online at their web site. Kit Kat made the reservation online. The prices seemed reasonable, even with all the taxes and fees. Kit Kat texted me to say the transaction went off well. She got a Camry to drive around.

The kids might need a car now especially that their dad is in town close to their grandparents. Already I have reports that Kit Kat has been driving around town, just the way we like it. I hope the car rental is a success from start to end. We just might have to start renting a car when we send Kit Kat off on vacations.
