Hilarious: Renting A Car Without Paying Any Fees

Tripp and Tyler is a pretty funny YouTube channel that does lots of skits based on things you may encounter in real life. Just yesterday they uploaded a hilarious video called “A Rental Car Success Story,” which I think perfectly sums up most peoples’ experiences with the “big guy” car rental companies. Here’s the video, if you need a good laugh:

A couple of weeks ago they made a video entitled “Air Travel In Real Life,” which is about what it would be like if being a passenger in a car were like being in a plane:

Personally I think the car rental skit is funnier, but I think both are worth watching, if you haven’t seen them yet.

I didn't find the skits terribly funny, but did find them to be familiar. The worst car rental experience I had (and by no means all THAT bad) was Budget at LAX. 45 minute wait to reach the check-in desk (Fastbreak was unavailable for some reason). Then the upsells... oh, the upsells. Upsells upon upsells! Separate protection available for the windows, tires, and rims, all separate packages, of course. The saleshole wasn't willing to give me the keys until I signed up for something, so I pulled out my phone and started calling up Budget's 800#. Keys to a Passat were reluctantly handed over. You better believe I took extensive before and after photos of the car and made sure the employees noticed. On a positive note, the shuttle driver was very helpful with bags and friendly. I notice this same location enjoys a delightful 1.5 star rating on Yelp, so I'm not alone in my thoughts of this location. Come to think of it, I've not rented from Budget since that experience 3 years ago. It's been all Enterprise / National since

I'd laugh but I've been at the point of tears in this situation. Occasionally I meet fantastic personnel at car rental firms. Avis/Hertz at Luxembourg airport are excellent. Once they dropped a one way drop off fee and upgraded me because they had a luxury car that needed to be returned to another office.

Sorry, really didn't find the skits funny. I totally agree with the problem with rental car companies but just didn't find their take on it particularly humourous!

Main reasons why I don't rent a car anymore on business trips. Much easier and most of the time cheaper to use Uber/Lyft the whole trip.
