Oh man, the journey back to Arboles, CO was miserable. It was like a small comedy of errors. First with the missed flight and to end with my first experience with renting a car. The cheapest flight we could find arrived in Albuquerque, which according to Google Maps was 4.5 hours away. I felt really bad making the boys drive 9 hours just to come fetch me so I rented a car. I had gone on Priceline and reserved the cheapest car for a total of $35 which seemed preposterous to everyone else in the house because usually their way more expensive. Anyway, long story short, I hate renting cars.
I got hoodwinked! I showed the agent my reservation and then he upgraded me without my knowledge, convinced me to prepay for gas, and then made highly disapproving faces when I declined all insurance. When I returned the car in Durango the other agent pointed out the upgrade. All of the Avis customer service people suck. Both people I talked to simply said I should have known it was a bigger car before I left the lot. Ugh! Yeah, I should of but never having rented a car before I didn't know what to keep an eye out for. And word to this wise--avoid the pre-paid gas tank. Even if you only use a 1/2 tank they still charge you for it. Not worth it. Stupid Avis....avoid Avis I say!
Here ends my diatribe.
