Just recently I was looking into a rental for an arriving friend at Newark
(as I recall):

A) Coddled premium curb-side service: $229 B) Take monorail to off-site
pick-up: $179 C) Ditto, but move to 2nd-tier rental company: $159 D) Take
the train to suburbia first: $99 E) cajole person into picking you up and
lending you a car free (priceless)
