Default Looking for a car to rent in Nephi

I'm planning to go to the 15M Nationals in Nephi and am looking for a car or truck to rent so that the RV can stay parked for the duration of the contest. Before I go to one of the commercial rental companies to book something, I thought I would see if there are any glider pilots in the Nephi area that might be willing to rent something to me during the contest.

Ideally, it will have a trailer hitch just in case of retrieve, but it is not necessary as any commercial rental will be without that option.

Anyone that is able to help out, please email me directly at:
dave "at" foxonecorp "dot" com

thanks,

Dave Springford

We looked at renting a car last year when I flew at Nephi and there are very few (and expensive) commercial options.

Rented a car two years ago from Enterprise in Provo. Reasonable cost and good service.

Hi Dave,
Most of the local glider pilots that fly Nephi live around 75+ miles north from the airport (closer to Salt Lake City). With freeway speeds, we can get to the airport in around an hour or less and the excellent flying makes it worth the few minutes extra drive. We have very few glider pilots who live in the Provo valley area but we will be working hard to fix that in the upcoming years. The best bet will be a rental car company in the Provo/Spanish Fork area. Hope this helps.

Thanks All,

The question is a long-shot, but I thought I would ask because if you don't ask...

I have already scouted out the Enterprise in Provo and we'll be driving right past it with the RV and trailer on the way into Nephi so it will be an easy pick-up and return, but will have no trailer hitch.
