While the vehicle with the car rental experience was wonderful, I am distressed with the services I was given in United States of America. When picking up the car, I gave my personal debit card in place of the credit one. Upon this, I found out it, I was told by Ben, that he couldn’t change my playing cards. He stated, that in the auto, I would be ready to make use of the credit-based card for my payment. Immediately after, I found that was mistake. Usually, I utilize my credit card for vacation ,due to added safety. With no warning they just took regular fees from my personal account. I called them in order to find out the key reasons why they did it. I must think of my rental along with them in US.

Enterprise is a company, which has the greatest SUV cars. However, the agency itself is not at the Orlando airport. I had to wait until the second bus appeared, due to big line of customers. None of the other offsite agencies had lines. I really wish Enterprise add extra buses. As a result, I don’t know whether I will try them once again. The only thing, that can force me to rent with them is their wonderful SUVs.

My previous doctor put me on Sumatriptan in 100 mg tablets and it worked really well for me. I recently went back for a checkup to get a refill prescription and found that my orginal doctor was gone! The new doctor decided that I have high blood pressure and took me off the migraine meds. Worst thing EVER!!! She put me on something different for migraines which is basically the equivalent of a baby aspirin in my opinion (because it doesn’t work AT ALL!) and now I’m back to having migraines that last 2 or 3 days even after all the different pills I take to get rid of it. I really just want to die right now. Even as I write this comment I’m suffering with a migraine.. an there’s nothing I can do to make it go away.
