Don't be tempted to insist on an automatic to try and get a free upgrade. They may have an automatic available and then the joke will be on you, as you'll have to spend the whole time driving round in an automatic.

save a metric fuckload of electricity by removing all the downwards escalators and replace them with slides instead. Hey presto, gravity does the job of transporting people downwards for free! Also, in rush hour you can run a water hose down the slide thereby speeding up the transit and easing congestion.

For example, JRR Tolkein in the Hobbit said that Elven arrows could hit a bird's eye in the dark. But in this enlightened age, so can a mishandled blow job climax.

by covertly stealing their phone if they leave it lying around, finding your name in the phone book, and changing your name to "God".
Then, whenever you see them doing something, send them a text telling not to do it.
A quick burst of "COVET NOT THY NEIGHBOUR'S WIFE" if you catch them inappropriately ogling works wonders.

Insist on something specific such as an automatic. The chances are they won't have one unless you're hiring a large saloon. They may well upgrade you for free in order to keep your custom.

Consider the merits of staying in the Travelodge in Brentwood on the A127 in Essex and commuting the distance to wherever you need to go.
Being out of town and not near a late night club and mainly stayed in by hard working contractors and salespeople who actually have to get up in the morning you won't be woken up and kept awake by people banging about and arguing and drunkenly having conversations on cellphones in the corridor outside your room and family rooms full of kids unaccompanied with the TV on loudly and screaming at each other as the parents go out on the piss and the sound comes bleeding through the walls and you wish you had a shotgun to go round and ask serenely for silence while waving it about threateningly (not that you ever would use it but it's a way of getting their attention and drawing it to the seriousness of your complaint) and even if the sound of a couple knobbing away and shagging above/below/next door etc is a glorious affirmation of life it's keeping you awake at 4am especially when they find the best part about making up is the argument they have afterwards and the lift machinery and firedoors that constantly go on through out the night and the bathroom fan that turns on for no reason and the people who have been out in town that come back at 5am despite the fact they've got a 5am flight to Faliraki and outside there's the night bus service rumbling by or the dustbin men or the Chinooks whopping over from Wooton Basset...
None of these things. It may be a little worn and threadbare and slightly 90s-ish in decor and inside the much-maligned Essex borders (although very farm-y and countryside-y at this position) but it's LOVELY AND QUIET. I recommend it. To anyone. Oh, and check out is at 12 which was an unexpected bonus. I commend it to you all.
