Destroying your car can be quite the rollercoaster ride. One day, it seems like the damage is mostly cosmetic; the next, they tell you that it is wrecked. One day, they are going to scrap the entire vehicle; the next, they are going to fix it for just shy of ten thousand dollars. One day, it's going to be repaired by the end of the month; the

Turn your rental in for a week, tell 'em that you're going on vacation, and that hopefully your car will be fixed by the time it's done, and then if it's not done when you get back, pick out another rental!

Wow. So simple...

Actually not at all... How do you propose I get to the airport?

BWI is more than a short cab drive from Reston, Virginia. And it is asking quite a bit of friends or family to drive forty-five minutes from Alexandria to Reston so they can pick me up, then drive me another hour and a half to BWI, then drive an hour back to their house.

The rental rate I am getting presently is cheaper than most open ended rental deals due to the fact that it originated via an agreement between Enterprise and my insurance company, so I'm not getting fucked with unexpected taxes and fees... If I do return the car and then need another, I will be paying more than I am now per day for it. So, it would be an interesting exercise to calculate the cab costs from Reston -> BWI and back plus the increase in daily car rental rate when my car isn't fixed upon return.

Use Supershuttle.
Or, do Marc Trains reach into VA?

[wanton_bliss]

Nope, we don't believe in trains out here in the west.

Does the supershuttle run at all hours? My flight is terribly-early...

[ethereal_lad]

Supershuttle does run at all hours. You just have to call 24 hours in advance...
