I'm planning a trip to Niagara Falls probably in mid May. Any of you ever been to Niagara Falls? I talked to a travel agent about booking a trip but the price was too high. I was hoping that I could get a better deal from a travel agent than on Travelocity or Expedia but I was wrong. Travelocity and Expedia have good deals on flight/hotel packages. I did some pricing on the sites and I found like deals that only cost 900 or 1,000 bucks and that includes the flight and 5 night hotel stay. With the quote I got from the travel agent, I could save like between 400 and 500 dollars booking it on Travelocity or Expedia. My main problem is payment. I have a debit card. And I have a credit card but it only has a 200 dollar limit. If I wind up going to Niagara Falls, I wanted to rent a car so I could spend a day or two in Toronto. Are there any car rental companies that let you use a debit card as payment? I looked at some. Some say you have to have a credit card and then some say you can use a debit card but they have to run a credit check first. It makes me mad that you have to do all that trouble just to rent a car. And I really want to go to Toronto if I go to Niagara Falls. If I can't rent a car, then I would have to rely on public transportation and that would probably suck knowing my luck. Any of you ever rented a car in America but drove into Canada? Is that legal? And if you're flying, how much time do you want to connect and would you want to pick a busy airport for your connecting flight or an airport that isn't that busy? I haven't flown since 2004 so I'm kinda rusty to flying. Sorry for all the questions, I'm just really scratching my head about trying to plan this trip. I have around 43 hours of vacation time at my work and I would really like to use them soon.
