Thanks to you and others for avoiding the perks to bring us honest travel information. One of your Tripso cohorts suggested that airline execs should travel in coach just to see what the rest of us have to experience. How great that would be! Good stuff Chris.

My husband and I were in Florida recently and rented a car for 18 days from Alamo. I was flabbergasted when the agent asked me if my husband would be driving as well because if he was, then we would have to pay an additional $9 per day for him! That would have come out to an additional $162! Since my own car insurance covered the rental insurance, I declined. Of course, we both drove the car. The nerve! We have never had to pay for an additional driver before. These companies must be desperate for money. Re: the comment about car rental agencies finding new ways of charging people.
