Do car rental agencies have emergency rates for people travling to be at a relatives funeral?

if a person were to need travel help because of a sudden death in the family, are there any companies that have a emergency rate for the family of the deceasedDo car rental agencies have emergency rates for people travling to be at a relatives funeral?
no, not at any more of a discount than what they are already


giving you, and you cant rent anything unless you have a debi


t or major credit card? and try not to let your need be on a weekend or holiday, because they will see you coming, and p


ut you into something real expensive. and burns alot of gas.th


ey will try to get you to buy their expensive car insurence, so t


hat they can make some free money off of you? they and you


know that its a very rare chance that you are going to be in an


accident while driving their car? but do what you have to do to


get to your destination safely.Do car rental agencies have emergency rates for people travling to be at a relatives funeral?
To my knowledge (I'm a frequent traveler and I rent from both Budget and Alamo - they both pretty much have the same rates), no rental car agency offer any kind of discounted rate for emergency services such as what you listed. However, if you get a really good and sympathetic customer service rep on the phone at the time of booking your car reservation, he/she may offer additional discounts to the reservation. This has happened to me on a few occasions. Bottomline, these rental car companies are greedy.
Like the rental companies give a damn why you want to rent a car? Wating to go to a relatives funeral ranks as high to them as wanting to go to the beach or take a chick to the drive-in and grope her in the dark.





They don't care WHY you want the car. Sometimes you will find they have ';standby rates'; but that is usually for waiting to see if they have any cars left over that aren't booked out already.





If you are in a hurry, you pay the same rates as everyone else.
