For those that have been to BP several times, what are the best rental car companies at LAX?

[Milton Gamble]

I've spent weeks searching for the best deal and it is not LAX. It certainly depends on how long you're going to be there. In my case it's 7 days. I got a quote from Enterprise in Buena Park for a Standard size for 7 days for $186. LAX was about $440. The negative on the Enterprise deal is that they are closed on Sunday and 1/2 day on Saturday. My plan is to take the shuttle from LAX to the hotel/raceway on Sunday and get the rental Monday morning. Then I will turn in the rental at LAX the following Sunday when I fly out and pay the $40 drop-off fee. This deal is $200 cheaper for me.

I have 3 Entertainer Tour Bus companies on my tour route. Deja Vu rents for $1000 per day; plus driver @ $300/day and about $3000 for fuel round trip Nashville to LA. It comes complete with a telescoping pole in the Star Sleeping Suite for dancing entertainment and all the luxuries of a 5 star hotel suite. Kid Rock is among the lessees.

Sounds like a better plan than American Airlines, Enterprise, Rodeway Inn

I did what Milton did and booked from the Enterprise in Buena Park and got an economy for $20/day. We are flying in on August 4th, maybe one of my friends (hint hint) can pick us up at LAX and transfer us to the enterprise in Buena Park!

"Chase I doubt that you have any friends left since you abandoned Texas and moved to Louisiana."

[Chasegtp1590]

I'll have to hitchhike my way to Buena Park, LOL! I looked up Enterprise's rates at LAX this morning and the same economy car there is $70/day.

The Group F race sounds good but I'll miss by 2 days. I was just wondering about cash purse put up for the Open record, is Semi-Pro included in on this deal?

Does anybody know what the intended hours of operation are for the Nats? Sorry if this was somewhere and I missed it...

[EdC]

Slot Fox Group F brass & piano wire chassis ok to use in the Falcon Group F for Friday night race?

[LindsayB]

Looking at arriving at an unsociable hour on monday the 6th, Flight gets in at 6:30 AM I expect by the time I clear customs it could be 8AM, I have been told there is a shuttle to BP from LAX, anyone have any details of where I would find it.

Nope, semi pro is never included in the pro purse. at least as long as I can remember.
