Putting aside the absurd Southwest Rapid Rewards policy, there was a logistical bright spot in this trip.
I noted recently that National Car Rental's Emerald Club is now free if you register from their web site (rather than pay the usual $50).
That means that when you make a reservation you should just go right to your car when you land. This is nirvana when traveling with kids and just convenient anytime.
As I was arriving Friday night in Hartford I was sure that this was going to be messed up. My name wasn't going to be on the sign, or the sign wasn't working or installed, or something. I was actually composing this post in my head at the time.
I got off the shuttle and asked the drive where the Emerald Club sign is (nudge nudge, wink wink, waiting for the punch line). He said, "we don't have a sign, just get into any car in the Emerald row and drive off."
What? I walk up to this Monte Carlo SS, hopped in, showed my ID to the gate person and drove off. That's it. When I dropped off the car I didn't have to wait for the guy to print out a little piece of paper, either - I was just emailed a PDF of the receipt as I sat here.
Totally seamless and a great price. Looking forward to the family trip in July.
Sometimes , can be more usefull to rent a car than buy one . It’s a good offert !
