No idea meself. H knows I bet.

[Webby the Bear]

what online number/code did you need tig?

[scimmy_man]

you wont need it,

They ask to see your licence, glance at it and you are good to go,

not sure they ever knew about a paper bit.

Just got back from two weeks in Spain. Booked and paid for car hire months ago before the code was required. But as it has since been made a requirement I obtained it before I left. Got to the hire desk proceeded to give it to the rep along with the counterpart ( just in case) and guess what never asked for it. Whats the point. 

[Viral_Jim]

Just bluff. Worked for me in at least 4 countries when asked for the counterpart - I work as an internal auditor so do 10-11 three week overseas trips a year.

Worked in Germany this time regarding the one-time code. Truth is the new requirements probably haven't filtered through to the US, particularly if you pick ones with a smaller European presence - National maybe.

I'd be amazed if you get asked for it.

Yep in the end there was no problem. In and out within 20 minutes, just gave my photocard licence and credit card  and I was away in a shiney black Chevy!

Could be a Daewoo though......     

[scimmy_man]

That'll be a Chevy matiz then 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Nope it's an Equinox LTZ AWD, all for the princely sum of $236.10 for 7 days! 

I booked an economy tin box but they had run out of those, so I got this instead.  and as its made in Canada it's not a Daewoo, before y'all start taking the piss! 
 
It's a nice drive and made the 6 hour run from Houston to New Orleans pretty effortless!

$2.47 a gallon! 

As Al points out guns are cheap and easily got.  I haven't done the gun thing this time, but when I was here last time I went into a gun shop and they had old single shot bolt action rifles in a bargain bin for $100 each!   

[scimmy_man]

gas in california in june was as low as $2,15 a gallon (and as much as $3.60) I had a play on a gunrange 9mm glock box of bullets and a target, entry for two (both allowed to shoot but she didnt) $60 =£40.

I paid £35  for a SH one in '72, and then had to hand it in for scrappage after Dunblane.
In Bangor in about '81, a gun shop had brand new Mk4 Lee Enfields in Maintenance Unit grease still with labels, for less than $100. Unfortunately as a non-resident I couldn't buy one.
