Yep, my bad. Hertz has #1 Club as I recall seeing. Those "better" cars we do not transport but some of the others did drive some new Mercedes from Tampa to Lauderdale back in December and said they were so sweet! A C300 and a GLK 450 they said...just wish I had been working then! There's 3 vehicles I'm dying to try...the Verano, Sentra and Jetta but so far, these have eluded me but I've let the others know that I would really really like to try these when we do get 'em. Also yesterday I had a new Escape again but a co-worker was saying how much he wanted to try it. So I just gave it to him, didn't matter to me even though they do drive nice and he was thrilled. A little give and take goes a long way. He did have to stop & put some gas into it though which he wasn't pleased about. And I had never done a Equinox yet so I was happy. Prefer the smaller Captiva better though. But the Sirius/XM put me in a great mood and it's so much easier as I don't have to mess with cds or aux cords...not too bad but one has to be careful about leaving stuff in these cars. One lady left her cell...luckily the other group was still there so they retrieved it. One guy left a cushion, another a jacket. And we've has to go back to pick up a phone cord charger once in Orlando already. So now, we have a checklist before we leave any destination to make sure nothing gets left behind.
I miss work today...never thought I'd ever say that again...but I do!

Funny.
That should be standard on all cars.

YMMV.
I just checked and Trico is the most expensive they list for my wife's van at $9.16 for the pair. Anco, on the other hand, are $5.25 for the pair.
Its then $8.35 for shipping.

$3.83 for me for the beam style. Don't really need them now but that is tempting.
