With some products, I always feel like I'm getting squeezed. I put car rentals in that category - I feel like it's an up-selling endurance sport. Do I need the additional insurance cover? Probably. Throw in a GPS navigation system? I don't want to get lost. Pay my tolls in advance? I guess that makes sense. Only $30 more per day for a convertible? Well that seems like a bargain. Suddenly, you're credit card is maxed out.
Here's a pro-tip. Most universities have negotiated discounted car rental rates for their staff, students and/or alumni - and they post the discount codes on their website.
