It is a wonderful drive, that's for sure.
Heard one of your songs on SandBar Radio today.
so basically when you add it all up, about 35% or so of the rental rate, on top of the advertised rate. While I may not travel to the extent you do, that seems about par with everywhere else. Now, the rates may also be higher in SoFL than some places, but as a percentage, I think it's about the same.clearlakeparrot wrote:Not like FLARinglingRingling wrote:every place charges fees on top of the advertised rate.clearlakeparrot wrote:Enterprise will not even give you a 50% off weekend down there.
