I have also had great luck with Ryder _commercial_ trucks (the white
ones). They also have them with E-track vs the loops that the consumer
trucks have. The rates were very reasonable too. You have to find a
Ryder commercial rental place though, it's a totally separate operation
from the consumer (yellow) places. When I used them they did not have
any problems renting to an individual with a credit card.
