Want a Better Rental Car Experience? Try Local!

Rental car agencies are a great resource for a variety of situations that we often face. For instance, say that your parents or in-laws are visiting for the weekend. Instead of cramming several people into your car you can simply rent an SUV. Or perhaps you are moving and are looking for something more economically viable than the average moving service. Rental agencies can often provide large cargo vans or utility trucks that are far more maneuverable and less unwieldy than large trailers and for a fraction of the price as well. Rental car agencies could be useful for hauling in that new refrigerator or washer and dryer set that you just purchased. They can even be used for a little fun, especially during vacations or road trips where your normal vehicle may not have the carrying capacity for everything that you need.
Rental car agencies can also be useful to businesses and other organizations are well. Say you are meeting a client at the airport, arriving in a nice luxury vehicle can project a better business image that arriving in you 2003 Honda Accord. Or perhaps you have to chauffeur clients around town for an evening out. Even nonprofit organizations can find it better to rent vehicles, such as churches traveling for mission trips or youth functions. Or perhaps you are planning an event within your business or community and need vehicles to get everything set up.
There is no doubt that rental cars can be an indispensable tool for both companies and individuals in a wide range of circumstances and when thinking of places to obtain them one’s mind often goes to the large national chains widely featured in media and on the web. But the fact of the matter is that large rental chains often lack the personal commitment to personal service than a locally owned company that consist of your neighbors or fellow church-goers. It’s not that the cars offered by national chains are of inferior quality or that the offers that they can provide are not valuable, but it simply comes down to service. Local merchants of all arenas can often provide a more personable experience than large national or transnational companies and car rentals are no different.
In times past large chains offered benefits that the smaller rental stores couldn't, such as online booking. But the technology gap has narrowed and many locally owned stores have the same digital presence as larger chains allowing you to place a booking well in advance. They often offer the same vehicles are larger companies as well, considering that they are in direct competition with them. The only downsides are that they may be a little more out of the way than a national company and they may have limited drop off points for vehicles since they often don’t have multiple storefronts. But oftentimes they are well worth the hassle as their rates are significantly cheaper. The idea is simple, trade a portion of your time to save some of your hard earned money.

2005 Black Infiniti G 35 available at Crown Auto Sales and Finance in Charlotte



http://www.BuyatCrown.com


"Rear drive and lovin' it" is the G35's motto. Power oversteer, slashing-quick steering, fearless brakes, six big holes under the hood, and six gears in your right hand.
We've been yakking good things about the G35 since Infiniti pulled the sheets off it in 2002. Draped over a 112.2-inch suspension bridge of a wheelbase is a tidy shape marked by clipped overhangs and quad afterburner taillights. Share this good taste with friends. The cabin has so much space to spare that the back bench has adjustable seatback rake. At 15 cubic feet, the G35's trunk ties the Saab's for largest, and the lid has an obvious release button below the left taillamp. Many of these cars have no release button or one hidden where dirt collects.
At 3520 pounds, the G35 ranks among the lightest here. At $34,760 as tested (without navigation), the G35 trades with the cheapest here. It also runs with the faster crowd, the 3.5-liter VQ V-6 now good for 298 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Launch at a lazy 3500 rpm, and it'll do 5.9-second sprints to 60 mph and 70-to-0 stops in 169 feet. We've ranted before on the comical confusion of textures and colors in the G35's cockpit. No idea goes wasted, including the one to make the gauge graduations orange and the redline marker a pale shadow all but impossible to see. One idea that strikes us as genius quality: hitching the instrument pod to the steering column so they move as a unit. Nobody complained of obscured vision.
Although it flits up mountain roads with stability and quick reflexes, the G35 doesn't punish you for your fun with a brittle ride. The car did demonstrate some of its coarseness for which we have criticized it in the past, including elevated road noise in the cabin, chatter in the steering column over bumps, and an unpleasant graunching of return springs each time the clutch was pressed. The stability control was prone to fire a brake caliper or two even when the car was well within its slip limits

2010 Chevrolet Aveo - Honest and Reliable Reviews Provided By Crown Auto Sales and Finance of Charlotte North Carolina

ImageImageImageImageImage

Used Car: 2010 Chevrolet Aveo Review

Review Last Updated: 7/10/12
The 2010 Chevrolet Aveo's high points are a low sticker price and good fuel economy, but its competitors are better in nearly every other way.
The 2010 Chevrolet Aveo isn’t flashy, but that’s not its mission. Its four-cylinder engine gets up to 27/35 mpg city/highway, which is above average in its class, but reviewers said the Aveo accelerates slowly, which isn’t surprising for a car that has such little power.
You can get the 2010 Aveo in sedan or Aveo5 (hatchback) form. Both have good cargo space for their sizes. Reviewers were impressed that the cabin had a lot of headroom, though tall drivers may need more legroom.
The Aveo doesn’t come with much in terms of standard features. Inside, the Aveo comes with OnStar and a four-speaker stereo that has an auxiliary input. It has four airbags, though you can’t get electronic stability control on any model. Look at higher 1LT and 2LT trims for features like air conditioning, satellite radio, cruise control and power windows and door locks.
If the Aveo’s underpowered engine or lack of interior features doesn’t bother you, its safety and reliability scores might. It has terrible safety and reliability ratings that are among the lowest in the class.

Other Cars to Consider

The 2009 Hyundai Elantra should give you more for your money and was named our 2009 Best Compact Car for the Money. For starters, the Elantra has better safety scores and a higher reliability rating than the Aveo. The Elantra’s engine also has more pep, though its fuel economy ratings are slightly lower. Inside, the Elantra has spacious front and rear seats, as well as good trunk space. 
If the Elantra is too large, consider the 2010 Toyota Yaris, which is available as a sedan and hatchback. The Yaris doesn’t have much interior space, and the Aveo has more room for cargo. Still, the Yaris has better safety and reliability scores, and has more standard safety features than the Aveo.
