I just booked an Audi A4 with all the bells and whistles for 5 days in Denver for $260.

That's all they provide, silver Audi A4's. All the same.

I never knew this company existed until I got the CSR credit card and it was a perk. It's an interesting concept.

Anything I need to be wary of?

I've heard great things but never used them because they don't cover the airports I frequent, National treats me well, and lastly the primary reason being if I showed up to a client driving an Audi I'd get my arse chewed out.

I used them in LA for business. I found the experience to be much more pleasant than big car rental places. All on an app and they pick you up individually in your car. Not constantly trying to get you to change cars or add on options. Simply get in the car and go.

Nice, that's what I'm hoping for. I probably would've tried it anyway based on the seemingly ease of use, but after I found the awesome rate I couldn't pass it up.

The only cheaper options I found shopping around were economy and compact class, which I don't want driving into Vail in February with skis and shite. If I read correctly, the A4's they use are the Quattro which is AWD.

I've heard horror stories of car rentals refusing to honor booked cars on arrival in Denver due to weather and cars not being AWD.

Do they charge any cancellation fee? I've got a ski trip to Colorado in February and if there is no cancellation fee their current promotion is a good deal in case my normal company I use doesn't lowered their prices between now and then.

I booked and cancelled in the same day. Then booked again with the better rate. I didn't get charged anything, but that was the same day. Not sure what the policy is.

On a side not, they'll provide ski racks for no extra charge if you let them know ahead of time. They replied within hours via email.
