I already wrote about one rental car experience; and felt the need to add some comments on the rentals I rejected as well. Our flight was cancelled, and we needed a car to get home by 6 am the next day. I called several rental companies, and most of them in Philadelphia tried to say over the phone they could not help us; without telling us why. I did get one honest guy who explained it for me. (the inexperienced traveler ditz that I was) It wasn't necessarily Hertz, but Hertz in Philadelphia's policy. It seems they have a problem that lots of cars go out of Philly, but none come back into there for people to rent them. So, they try very hard not to rent one way. They said they would, but it would cost me an additional $500 on top of the rental fees. It isn't just Hertz either, another company qouted me $400 for the same reason. I did find a company that only wanted $100, National, and we wound up going with them, and they will get all of my future business as well. So if you get stuck in Philly, plan on it being mighty expensive to get home from there!
