Hi folks,

Hi Tom -- 2 hours is more than you should need. Based on our experience, the "average" works out to be 45-60 min most trips, sometimes less. I am including time to clear passport control, get luggage and walk across parking lot to get rental truck. Allow 10-15 min or so to drive to your rental home.

Thought of something else: Maybe I should call the place I am getting it from to let them know when we are on the ground, in case of delays. Are there pay phones or anything which I can use at the airport? Would they take US Cash? Credit Card?

Your US cell phone should work.

KOB, it might work but there may also be some huge international fees involved. That was the case when I looked into it for our trip. We opted to get a Skype account for any phone calls. But obviously you have to have an internet connection for that to work.

Tom -- e's right. But using those international pay phones at the airport (or anywhere on BON) can be exorbitant as well. I figure a quick call while waiting for luggage might not be too bad.

What about the inspection of incoming bags? That could delay getting out of the airport.

just to let you know about the phone service.. I have a verizon cell phone.. I turned it on for just a few seconds, to make sure it was charged at the end of our trip and the roaming charges cost me 1.00 and it was in Airplane mode still... beware of long calls.........

LOL that would be the seats in the front of the plane that are not the pilots

Ya, didn't consider that the pay phone charge might equal or exceed a cell phone charge. No good options unless you can find a wifi zone and Skype (assuming you have a laptop.)

I'll probably just use the Canadian cell phone as suggested. A few bucks to avoid trying to figure out cash for a pay phone etc, nbd.

I used my AT&T phone for about 5 calls last time I was there, and I think I paid about 12.00 in fees...pretty painless for the convenience: I had looked into getting an international plan added before I left, and I think that would have been more expensive than just using it for the little bit I used it.

Tom -- dial as you would from home. In the US, 011.599.717.xxxx Also, CB is right on. Turn on the phone, use it and turn it off.
