But the good news of the story (only slightly clouded by the
fraud allegations) is that Penske does tend to not rip you off
if you just talk with them.
i've been renting Penske for years (won't use anyone else) and you don't need
to claim you are a business. i never have. they start at $.30/mile, and are
more than happy to let you pay that (for the un-informed) but have absolutely
no problem dropping that price. i don't think i have ever paid more than
$.18/mile in my life, and if you are going enough miles, you can get it down
even lower (i think $.09 is the lowest i've gotten, but that was for thousands
of miles)
so, in a nutshell, the whole fraud thing is moot, since it makes no difference
to penske if you are a business or not, it just matters if you know that the
$.30/mile is not set in gold. ;)
