Do you mean the systems are down? I was hoping to give them a whirl. Oh well! I'll get my tix at the counter then do some sightseeing! Thank you AlanB!
I have a question about the Quik-Trak kiosk at Penn station. I booked a two separate reservations for NYP-ORL on the silver meteor with two "Kids Ride Free" coupons (basically, 1 adult and 1 free child doubled to accommodate a family of 4). Calling the 1-800#, I couldn't use Julie, so I...
I paid a total (taxes & fees included) of $158/week… The main reason I choose AAA w/ Hertz, was the free booster seat (they charge an arm and a leg for that) and the convenience of the car waiting for me a the station.
I have rented from ORL Hertz last february…it was very convenient and the staff was friendly. I used AAA and got a huge discount, plus free use of a booster seat and free 2 car upgrade. We ended up with a brand-new (only 20 miles on the odometer) Honda Civic. I was so pleased to have my bags...
Update #2:
Once again, awesome ideas from everyone…
I booked a car rental (priceline bid) at FLL Airport at an awesome price. Way better then Hertz could ever give me, plus it was upgraded 2 classes!! Now I'm just looking for the cheapest and most practical way to get to the car rental place...
Here's an update on my situation:
I decided to arrive at the Hollywood station because it seemed to be in a more pleasant area. Miami was very questionable but now I regret changing my mind (I'll explain below). I reserved a car rental with Amtrak Hollywood Hertz and called to ask about...
That's a great idea...I'll call Amtrak soon. I'll keep everyone posted!
@Bill631: That would explain why AAA charges about $50...it's for each ticket
As to my "I don't fly" issue. Long story short, 1. My ears never (I mean never) pop and 2. crippling fear of flying
For my ears: tried...
Planning a trip NYP-HOL, Silver Service for Feb with a coupon from "Thomas the Tank: Merry Winter Wish" DVD. It allows one child to ride free round trip with an adult fare. Problem I had last year, I had to go to Penn Station to surrender the coupon. Wasn't convenient coming from Eastern...
I'm planning our 2nd trip NYP-MIA Silver Meteor...problem: I don't see any car rentals nearby (like the one at ORL). What would be the best way to secure a car rental?? Is it easier at MIA or FTL?? I have a preference for Hertz b/c of my AAA discount, but I'm also willing to try another is its...
Hahaha...making fun of the newbie!! I wasn't sure if tipping was allowed, so I asked. :)
Thanks for the great info ppl! This discussion board has helped me soooo much!!
It's almost time for me to leave LI for NYP...I'm soooooo excited!!
One last question, I promise. What is the proper procedure or amount to tip the "red cap" that helps with your luggage and helps your family board the train??
Happy Travels!! :)
