What is the best deal on car rentals?
We've checked them all out and found that Budget Rent A Car is the best buy. Call them at 1-800-527-0700 or use the Reservation Card previously sent to you. Budget's rates are extremely attractive, but make sure you tell them you're attending the MCAA Conference. We urge you to place your order now-cars will be hard to get.
