gizaI did some more research, and it turns out that PhillyCarShare members get the following discounts when renting with AVIS:
- 10% discount
- Free weekend day OR $15 off weekly rental
So, I think AVIS is going to win this round.
Some folks mentioned concern for higher fees at the airport, I did take those into account. Most of the companies I got quotes from had a line item for "concession recovery fee" on the quote, which was most helpful.
Regarding insurance, American Express picks up CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) if you rent a car with your Amex. The coverage is good for up to $25,000 and has a deductable of $0. That will save me about $25/day right there. I'll still have to pick up LLW (Limited Liability Waiver) to cover any damage to other vehicles (like, if I cause a pileup), but that's not a big deal. Most places charge about $12.95/day for that.
Also, speaking of fatalities, here's a video of every single fatality fromevery single Mortal Combat game some of the Mortal Combat games:
And, the video has a rockin' soundtrack, too. It's nice to listen to while writing code. :-)
