Default Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity Kiss My Left Nut Sack!!!

So I'm searching for a hotel and rental car for my upcoming trip to Daytona. I search all of the different "discount" travel sites and finally decide on a hotel from Expedia. I call them up to make the arrangements for the room and a full size pick-up to drive down there. Well, the girl wanted me to pay for the entire week up front, which was fine but something made me hesitate and I didn't book it...

THANK GOD!!!! On a whim, I called the hotel directly. Got them to waive the $20/day pet fee (bringing the dog), got them to upgrade the room (double-kitchenette) AND got them to kick me a price $10 less a night than Expedia was offering for the smaller room. Not to mention that with a small amount of research, I found a coupon code that got the rep from Avis to kick me a full size pick-up with unlimited miles for $212 out the door for eight days!!! Total cost for vacation...$850, not bad IMHO!

Quite frankly all of those sites look exactly the same to me now and they want the money up front. Avis, didn't even take a credit card number and the hotel doesn't charge your card until you check in/out. Plus, they all make such a big deal about their cancellation policy but the hotel lets you cancel without penalty up to 24 hours before your check in time without penalty.
