Such a long way in a car, why not take a flight and rent a car in Dallas? Please explain your problem and necessity to travel by car from NY-Dallas, and not by air.  I think you need a DL and a credit card to rent a car. Why SS? Try different rentals, they have separate policies. And add insurance that will cover out of state incidents too...  What size car you are looking for?

Yeah, you don't need SS# but you need credit card and drivers license. Its a long way travel by car. If you are traveling by other folks then it makes a fun trip but by yourself !! I don't know its a good idea. You can simply go to any online we sites like hotwire.com, cheaptickets.com and much more and just rent there... its so simple ...

SS should not be asked, check other car rental. Did you check Enterprises? Rent online. Problem solved.

SS is not for rent a car.

You have to show credit card or SSN. No SSN means no credit card. No one will take Debit card for rental propose. You have to show Credit card and you can pay from Debit card or any other methods though. Anybody can rent car and add your name on it, it doesnt necessarily mean he has to pay. You can pay while returning the vehicle. For accidents and everything you will be responsible but when the car is lost (worst case), they will catch the credit card guy. SO you have to make him/her believe that you are not fleeing. It should be easy for you Good luck !

I would strongly doubt if anyone would step up to help a stranger in such matters. Homework is a different story.

newlynew · Apr 29, 2010 12:04 PM

Dude, seriously, get a hint. Nobody is going to give you a SS just by knowing u online. You shouldn't waste your time further and actually reach out to people you know personally. If I knew you personally I wouldn't mind going with you and renting the car in my name. Reach out peronally, not electronically.

Does your cousin have DL? Rent under his name and put yourself as a second driver and pay by your credit card. Mission Accomplished.  Did you see the news, the space balloon launch was failure.

Kiddo: It seems you are fully ruling out the possibility that the poster could be a damsel in distress...

How about Amtrak? $250..if you'll go tomorrow morning..you'll be there on Sunday...I think cheaper than renting a car...

Sexy In Sari · Apr 29, 2010 1:27 PM
