hey- i already posted for a little help on the LVA board, but you guys are quite a lot more friendly (at least to me, as a newcomer) and I thought you might have some tips or tricks for me.
My fiance and I are going to vegas from the 16th through the 21st- first vacation away without either of our families joining us. We both have Florida blood now, and I'm getting nervous about walking around in the cold, and waiting for shuttles in the cold, and worrying about cold in general (come on, to me, winter is when it hits 40 degrees at night.)
anyways, we wanted to rent a car, but the fees for people our age to rent are huge! It appears to cost more to pay for him being under 25 than it does to actually rent the car. We both have full insurance on our home cars, both have safe driving licenses, but the charge is arbitrary and can't really be taken off. We heard that corporate groups get rental deals where the fee is removed, but they need $5000 a year in car rentals - our company hasn't spent over $1000 for years.
I was just wondering if any locals knew of a 'rent-a-wreck' type of place (we've got them all over in our college towns) that allow underagers without huge cars. The cars are a little older (2-3 years) but still in good condition, and rates are comparable. Does anyone own a large business and would like to contract me for a week? =P Ah well, I'm probably just going to settle for shuttles and cabs, and keep my fingers crossed for the monorrail to be running. Thanks all!
