I just tried reserving a car from Netty's a few weeks ahead of our planned trip there in mid-February.

Try Everts, I just got booked with them when Netty's couldn't accommodate me. Nice people, too.

I'm waiting to hear back from AB Car Rentals. I completed a reservation form online and should know something fairly soon. If not them ... I'll give Everts a try.

Just returned from a week trip last Saturday. Based on the lack of crowds, I'm surprised about Netty's high-season comment. But perhaps February is busier. However a word of caution: It seems, at least at AB Carrental, that most vehicles are manual transmission. The gentlemen ahead of me in line had reserved an automatic and it was not available. AB did drive his party to their accomodations that evening, but I'm not sure what happened after that. I've used AB several times and have not had problems with their vehicles (again, manual transmission). But the minivan I rented this time needed a new muffler. I think I scared many of the fish away from divesites with the car's noise. No wonder we saw fewer flamingos this trip!

Just heard back from AB Car Rentals. They had one (and only one) of the 4 dr. Pickups to rent. I'm assuming it will be manual transmission which I can live with for at least few days.

I must rent unpopular autos.

I think part of my problem was not realizing that I needed to start looking more than a few weeks prior to leaving. Any other time I've tried renting a car someplace, it was never an issue.
