PSA: When renting cars, check every few days for price drops, they can be signifigant

Not in my experience. I do not cancel anything first, just make a modification. An easier way to do this is to make a "new" reservation and if the price is lower, I put in all my details and then cancel the more expensive one. I have done this for 5+ years and have not once "lost" a reservation.

I rent with Dollar most of the time, as the cars are in relatively good shape and they cost a TON less than Avis, Hertz, Enterprise or the other nationals.
