Waiting in long line at Avis for car rental...AMA *alert* sitting on floor now (1 Viewer)

[El Floppo]

Spending a week at the NJ shore...summer time pick up at the place I forgot I never wanted to ever use again for rentals. This is going to take awhile.

first off, how are you?

WHY DON'T THEY STOP THE CLOCK IN FOOTY WHEN THEY TAKE A "COOLING" BREAK?

On account of the metric system

Ocean pools are underrated.

Two people behind the desk...one is loudly trying out her comedy routine on the line. "Comedy routine"

I'm 20 minutes in...not even halfway through.

At least you'll be able to binge of a few more lifetime shows while you're waiting.

The car elevator is stuck. Nobody's going anywhere. I'm sitting on the floor.

What city are you staying in? My family did Cape May a few times as that’s where my dad spent all his summers as a kid.

Fair enough.  So, Jersey....are you being punished?

 

[El Floppo]

They're driving cars in from the airport. At a guess based on the routine screwups this location makes, his is not going to go well.

Lemme rephrase...this is going to go even worse.

Coming up on an hour

 

[johnnycakes]

Still waiting?  

 

[HellToupee]

What are you renting? 

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Well?

 

[gianmarco]

Did you take your shoes off while inside waiting?

 

[loser]

 Couldn't you have driven there just as fast?

I’m a Hertz Gold membah.  Seems whenever I rent from Hertz, I get a timely sms message telling me exactly where to find my car. No waiting in line.

Cape May is a nice shore town.  Same with Stone Harbor and Avalon.  I'm partial to Stone Harbor(spent many summers as a kid there).

You missed all my posts endorsing Turo? You don’t like having the car delivered to your door? Too inconvenient using one app for booking, insurance & payment?

Great town for a week with the fam (it’s easily my fav Jersey beach town.) Beautiful cottages, terrific beach. Then again I rarely drink.

We do a few day trips every summer in Ocean Grove for the last 20 years... don't need a car to get here. Always wanted to get a place...Rented a car because we are doing our first week stay here and had grandma and tons of stuff.

Lol. I was more concerned about squeezing that behemoth into a street-side spot in a tiny beach town on the busiest day off the year. Got a spot right in front of our place.

What’s the temperature there?
