Ah, so you didn't fly to the States for nothing. phew But you did miss the funeral, all over the stupid rental car glitch. Make me wonder if the mountain mafia had a hand in that, but surely they don't have that kind of reach... right??? Pulling strings to make sure that "waste of skin" never sets foot in our neck o' the woods again -_-

Heh. Alas, no conspiracy in this. It's a general policy that all rental car companies have adopted to protect their assets--they can go after a major credit card company if the vehicle is damaged or lost much easier than they can go after a bank. Therefore unless you live in the same zip code where you're renting, and most of the time not even then, you can't rent using a debit or prepaid card of any type.

Wow. Cash wouldnt' work either, then.
What a world!
