Only A Few Days Left To Light Up In Your Rental Car
Anytime we have rented a car in recent memory, we were reminded early and often not to smoke in the car—even if it was just a PT Cruiser. We’re pretty sure that we had to sign something, and there was always that no smoking sticker right by the lighter where we plugged in our iPod. Apparently, smoking in your rental car is a vacation luxury that we missed out on, and now our time is severely limited.
On October 1, Budget and Avis will become the first two rental car companies to ban smoking in their rental fleet in North America. If you’re caught puffing away, you’ll get nailed with a cleaning fee of up to $250. Too bad they won’t ban fast food in their cars, as we are sick of soda stains in the seats and fries in every nook and cranny of the center console.
Other rental car companies like Hertz, National, and Enterprise have similar policies depending on specific location, but Budget and Avis will be the first to ban it no matter what. So if you want a smoke-free car be sure to rent from Budget or Avis, otherwise, make sure that you are specific in your request with the other companies. Honestly, the whole travel experience is smelly enough, so eliminating just a little part of it makes us a little happier.
