Car Hire - Pre pay fuel question?

... The tank-inclusive fee thing is common in the USA in places like Florida, and is usually extremely good value there. I rented a car from Alamo in Orlando for a day on a layover, paid for an entire inclusive tank of fuel, drove 10 miles round trip and gave it back ...

2 years ago in miami b4 returning the rentalcar we couldn´t find the contract anymore
and ffs didn´t remember what we had signed :oops: ... full/full or full/empty or whatever.

the expression on the rentalcarbloke´s face told us we had taken the wrong decision
when filling up the tank again 8O :twisted:
 
Autos Mari are great , we use them three times a year , pick up from the airport with a full tank then return to the airport with a full tank . We book direct and arrange where the car will be parked and as soon as we land we can get straight off . Never had any problems .

... its environmentally immoral to encourage me to drive round the island
just for the sake of it ... to use the fuel up? ...

when returning the car - including fuel in the tank you paid for but didn´t use -
you could park the car in the wrong floor so they can´t find it for hours /days ...
then you switch on everything possible which needs fuel like aircondition, radio, lights,
passenger compartement lighting, wipers, hazard-flasher etc ...

last not least don´t forget to put a brick on the gas pedal so that the engine
runs full throttle till running out of gas :idea:

this way nobody else can use "your" fuel and you get the maximum for your money :twisted:
 
We paid 175 euros for a week in June last year , we have always found them very reasonable , maybe we get a good deal because we use them every year :D
