Hertz rental car at Santa Barbara
I had read in The Times the due to the economic downturn, the rental car companies were keeping their cars longer. That is exactly what I experienced here. While I got an awesome deal because of a promotion with Mastercard and discounted rates for AAA members, the car itself was full of scratches, the engine made funny noises, and the check engine light was ON. Yes, 25K is a lot of miles for a rental car, I realized.
