Avis was nasty when I called the local office to request that I get a van that will hold the crates. That is not how I put it, but the point is I got the standard line of "We cannot guarantee a specific vehicle" and I hung up. At the suggestion of one of our list family I called National and made a reservation. I have just gotten off with the local office at National Airport, who told me he would do his very best and that I should call a day or 2 in advance to remind them of my request which is also noted on my computer file for the reservation. Kudos to National car rental!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sheila --------------------------------- Take the Internet to Go: Yahoo!Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos & more. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
