One Way Rental Car Woes

Remember when I told you about the great deal on one way plane tickets I got? We ended up saving a lot of money buying one way airline tickets instead of round trip tickets. However, I have run into a snag!

Since we are flying into one airport and out of another airport, the rental car is also considered one way. Guess what? Rental car companies don’t care for one way rentals that much! The prices for one way rental cars are more than double. I about fell out of my chair.

Last year we were able to use our timeshare points to purchase a car rental. When I called to do the same thing this year, I was told that they would not allow point usage on a one way rental. The reason being is the added fees. After weeks of fretting and researching, I finally found a decent deal through my credit card company. I didn’t have enough credit card rewards to book a car, but they did give me the lowest price so far on a one way rental. It is comparable to a round trip fee.

Lesson learned! Next time I will research a little more thoroughly before booking those one way tickets! I never dreamed that the rental car would be an issue.
