I just rent the smallest, cheapest one they offer. I can't reach the pedals on the other larger cars.

Did get a Dodge Avenger once and had a real struggle with it.

And most of the time, they dont have any small cheap ones in the garage, so you generally get upgraded. Got upgraded to a flashy silver convertible once.....mainly I suspect because it was a one way rental from Vegas to LAX.....one wayers are generally good for a decent upgrade.

I was given a Jeep Liberty at Mirage once. Now that one was really difficult to drive! I had to use a cushion to reach the pedals.

But the back seats don't go down on a Charger, and neither of them has great boot space. Are you seriously saying that a charger is better than a 300C comfort wise? (I own one and have hired the other);)

IMO yes the Charger is better for 2 reasons

The boot is bigger. I can get all our cases in boot without using the back seat, I cant in the 300.

The charger is more comfortable, it doesnt wallow on very soft suspension like the 300

and I think it just has the edge on looks

Thank you! I read about this awhile back just after its short run finished in the cinema and was annoyed that I had missed it.

Going to Vegas next October and I have been looking for the best prices for flight's.
The prices seem to fluctuate on a day to day basis but at the moment the best I can get is with TC for £514 return direct from Manchester, this includes baggage allowance and in-flight meals.
Is this price about right or is it worth waiting and hoping they drop?

PS. This will be my first trip to Vegas

reasonable price .

there are no set of rules or pearls of wisdom as to when a flight will be cheapest . the only real rule is that the fuller the flight gets the higher the price will go . so if they aren't selling seats they will drop the price .

personally i would rather bag a reasonably priced flight and then not look back and check the price again . if goes down after you have booked so be it . TBH you are only probably going to save about £50-£60 on that price IMO . not enough of reward , to gamble on the price shooting up for me .


when the flight is booked ..you are going end of story . it's a great feeling


anyone else wants any advice tonight please feel free , i don't reckon i will be getting much sleep .

VA sale has started. Vegas from £530 between Jan and April. It does look like there will be no cheap direct fares next year.
