Just a note for those of us who don’t have an Amex platinum… I just checked my expedia car hire booking for Austin in September, cancelled, rebooked and saved myself nearly £500. Worth a double check today 🙂
Thanks so much for the heads up. Just switched our New Orleans to Nashville road trip in May from a Toyota Corolla at £729 for 8 days to a Mustang for just under £500 – very happy with that!
