When they're renting the car


Alright this is just me nit picking but the associate at Budget says it'll be $112 a day and they mentioned it would be an 8 day trip. Joyce has a coupon for 15% off. How is his total over $900? Shouldn't it be somewhere in the 800's?

Well using an on-line calculator, their total will be $896.00, and with the 15% off coupon, their total by the math that I used comes out to be 761.60, so I have to say that either you or maybe even me is bad at math. Along with whoever did the math for the movie. So if you want to do the math yourself I used Google and had in calculator and I used what came up as their on-line calculator. So you can go there and double check it to be sure, but it is also like that Joyce &Andrew Brewster questioned the total. I saw this movie a few months ago I would say Late May will be right so it has been quite a little while since I have seen the movie, so I don't remember what the total is. But this is what you also will call a movie goof.

Could it be it was the total before taxes and certain tacked-on fees?

Like rental of the GPS could have driven up the cost.

Taxes and fees? Rental insurance?

I understood it to be a worse deal than using whatever promotion he was using to get a price of $112 per day. They just didn't realize it.

Something like 15% off of full price isn't as good as the business discount he was getting in the first place.

all I know is that was bad product placement. If that is Budget's prices then I'm sticking with Thrifty Rental!
