My Experience with Uno Car Rental
I called the US number for Uno to get an idea of their prices in Santa Ana. The quote I got was $31 for the smallest car with taxes and insurance included. Because I wasn't sure which day I would be arriving, I didn't make a reservation.
When I did get there, the best deal I could get was $44 for the smallest car with a $200 deductible. Although they didn't give me the price I should have gotten with a reservation, they were courteous and also gave me a ride to where I could catch a bus to Metapán after I dropped off the car.
