Renting a car

1. Airport rental locations tend to charge a dollar or five more per day to cover their location expense.
   
2. The hotel concierge / desk crew are your friends, except that you have to give them $2.00 for help.
3. Travel web sites such as Kayak, Mobissimo, Sidestep, or Travelocity can help you find a deal.
4. Bring your frequent flyer number when you rent a car for extra miles.
