LOE Rental Cars - Page 2

I checked out on line and they are open from 6-11 everyday. Figured I would go that route since I couldn't get through or was put on hold forever.
Went with Enterprize and you return to shelter valet parking and take the shuttle to ELP. Says to leave keys with parking attendant.
NOW we know how the cars get to the border.

Just an FYI update - I finally got nervous about them not calling me back either, and called them yesterday. Yes, I am still on their list, and yes, they plan to call everyone a couple days before to get credit cards and info necessary for "drop off" rental. I guess I'll stick with them and figure it will all work out - or Louise and I will be sticking our thumbs out for a lift!

(Doug, you should just rent a pick-up truck, and we can all ride back and forth to the hotel in the back - yeehaw!)

Along the "truck" suggestion from Paul ... I'd much rather look for someone to share the rental with - after all, we're only going to be travelling to/from the airport and RedRoof/LaQuinta .. so why foot the bill for the car alone ?

I have not yet ordered my rental - I'll be arriving Friday to attend the evening social, staying Saturday for the banquet, and departing Sunday morning - that's 3 trips to/from the airport. Anyone want to share/lease an empty car seat for me and the mrs ?

Hmmm.... Let's see, the first time we went to LOE we drove our rental car up to White Sands and Alamagordo which took most of the day on Saturday. The last time we went, two years ago, we went to Mexico.
There's a whole lot of options for sightseeing in the area if you want to do more than look at RV's all day.

I know they'll have one more mid size car available as I have to cancel due to an engine problem (just about lost #3 cylinder last weekend).

Ya'll have fun out there doing whatever you decide to fill your day and by all means fly safely! (and frequently check the torque on your cylinder stud nuts!)

The rates are higher than posted I was told today. Two day rentals only. I will be there on Fri and leaving Sat. I have to do two days. They will assign cars Wed.

I spoke with Deana, she said she welcomes the airshow business and to mention it for a better rate. I can leave the car at the airport on Sunday and only be charged for the days I use it. I have a confirmed rental for Saturday @ $30. The only downside is that I have to call for pickup.

I also booked a car with Advantage, much better deal and at a cheaper rate. The only draw back is the 20 min ride to pick up the car, but it can be left at the FBO on Sunday.

We're going to have several friends and acquaintances at the fly-in, so I'm hoping we'll be able to do this and get a ride to the room...

I just switched our reservations to Advantage, as well. Confirmed reservation for a medium-size car for Friday noon through Sunday noon, with all taxes and fees, will be $68.76. However, they want $35 more for a second driver. I guess Paul and I will have to arm-wrestle over who will be the driver.

Louise, my wife and i spent much time arguing who would drive before i wised up. Now I'm content to sit in the passenger seat and look out the window. I find that i see much more of the world that way. Now i try to find excuses not to drive!!
If pauls smart, he'll enjoy the scenery.
