Karen Triggiani sends me this amusing story:
We like to think of ourselves as intrepid international travelers, but in one respect, we are utterly, hopelessly North American: we only drive automatic cars. Ordinarily this doesn’t make renting a car too difficult, but while we were planning a recent summertime excursion in France, we discovered just what a handicap it is.
Not only was it nearly impossible to find an automatic car outside Paris (and even in the city, we had to query certain agency locations), but heaven forbid we had to make any changes to our reservation, because that would set us back another carload of either time or money. Here are some of the potential pitfalls we swerved to avoid during our recent reservation fiasco, but if you’ve got tips of your own, let us know!
