Since I don’t own a car, I rent pretty often. Sometimes from Hertz and the like for weekends, but more often from Zipcar. It allows me to try a lot of different cars so I thought I should start documenting my experiences.

Tonight, I reserved an Audi A3 hatchback for an hour and was really impressed. It drove great; the controls were intuitive, and it looked pretty attractive for a hatchback. I love cars with slap shift so that was fun to use. It was so smooth on the highway that as my passenger turned to me, we had already hit the speed he told me to stay under.

Thumbs up for the Audi. I’d definitely buy one especially if I had a reason to need the hatchback regularly.

The Start to the Last Time I Ride Megabus

I’m here 45 minutes early so Megabus doesn’t leave me again like last time. I was 30 minutes early the time before like their tickets tell you to be. The bus was ahead of schedule last time and just left.

I called their customer service number tonight to see if my bus was on schedule. First, I had to press 2 to get to the main menu- fail. Then, the recording said their operating hours were until 11pm Eastern. It wasn’t even 8:30pm EST, and no, they didn’t say anything about only Monday through Friday.

I understand they are the cheapest way to travel, and that I shouldn’t expect much for a $10 ride to Chicago. But they are a poorly run company with little respect for their customers. I hope they get taken to the cleaners for that crash last week and at the very least show up tonight so my brother doesn’t have to drive to Chicago tonight.
