Rented a moving van to take us back to Ohio. Supposed to pick it up at 11 am today. @budget lets us know at 9:30 a.m. that it's not available, none are available, too bad about your luck

"We can get you the van you reserved for today sometime next week," @budget says

Um, we have to move out of our apartment TODAY. That's why we rented a truck for TODAY.

And because it's Saturday morning of a holiday weekend when @budget canceled our moving truck reservation, we have about an hour to try and find a (now ridiculously overpriced last minute) reservation elsewhere before all the rental places close until Tuesday. We're screwed

No other one-way moving vans are available for rent today in the DC area, p.s. @swin24 & I have checked. Trying to figure out if we can fit everything in a mini-van... but not seeing many of those available for rent on an hour's notice either...

Fix this, @budget

The customer service rep for @budget tells me they canceled our moving van last minute because all of them are going to @amazon in Northern Virginia now. So this is what @budget does: cancels individual rentals to give them to Amazon

(A followup tweet just to say the man at the Edsall Rd @budget location we’ve been talking to, and not budget corporate, has been nothing but patient and sweet and trying to help, though his hands are tied)
