00:00:00.000 | The last thing to book was our rental car in Mallorca, and wow, it was very cheap.
00:00:04.600 | So it didn't matter where I looked.
00:00:06.340 | For four days, it was going to be somewhere between $100 and $200.
00:00:09.920 | As I always do, I looked on AutoSlash first because it's just a great comparison site.
00:00:15.020 | And then I went to the individual rental car company websites because sometimes AutoSlash
00:00:19.820 | won't search any special kind of discounts you have.
00:00:23.120 | And so with Hertz and National, there is a discount associated with having an Amex Platinum
00:00:27.760 | card.
00:00:28.760 | First, I had a discount from Founder's Card.
00:00:31.000 | Surprisingly, those discounts were all much better than the AutoSlash rates.
00:00:35.360 | And I'd heard some horror stories when I was looking online for renting cars in Mallorca
00:00:39.760 | that during the summer it can be crazy and you show up and your car's not there or you
00:00:43.240 | have to wait a few hours.
00:00:45.020 | And all these reservations were pay at the counter.
00:00:47.200 | You didn't have to prepay anything.
00:00:49.160 | So I booked a car at Hertz, and then I booked a backup car at Sixt half an hour later.
00:00:53.960 | They're both around $150 for four days.
