[/quote] okay! i need to check with my own insurance, and see if I'm covered through them when I rent a car. that will save $72 if I am. otherwise, the rental is holding steady at $15.95/day for a mid-size car like a Corolla, Avenger, or "something similar". sidemunch/pvtmiller, when I book, I'll go in and check with them about adding you as a driver when i get to MN. edit: on a side note: I'm a little concerned about how much gas is going to be for this trip. i need to remember this link: http://gasbuddy.com/Trip_Calculator.aspx Edited April 10, 2012 by Lil Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
