		<description>&lt;em&gt;SupaMan : 

I’ve checked the Avis website for any deals on SUVs and found none. Anyone know what’s the going daily rate for a full size SUV (Yuktahburbans or Expicursions welcome).&lt;/em&gt;

$28 a day out of BWI last month...through Budget (I usually use Enterprise, but the price - via Hotwire - was too good to pass up). Notable, because I imagine they&#039;re paying major airport taxes there (I didn&#039;t see it on my bill, though).

Locally, my Enterprise (not at an airport) just charged me $34 for a Suburban. Almost exactly last year at this time that was $40.

(I own a GM car - so I have to rent a lot of cars locally...)</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Against a $1 billion loss, that sounds like a worthwhile way to ruin 700 lives.&lt;/em&gt;

A company has to start somewhere. I&#039;m sure that will include a lot of other related cutbacks, such as locations closing, fleets cut, etc. I know it&#039;s tough, but I&#039;ve been through it myself three times so far. Life goes on.

&lt;em&gt;(Avis CEO Ronald Nelson only made $2.15 million last year before taxes). So much for trying harder.&lt;/em&gt;

I&#039;m glad that you mentioned that before taxes. The government certainly benefits as well to his big income. Where is the hate for them? Hum?</description>
