Flying to Canada in September and tried to hire a car through an international airport car agency. Unfortunately, they run their call centre out of New York.
Here’s an excerpt of my telephone conversation:
Me: Yes, I’d like to hire a car for 19-23 Sept
Yank: What airport you coming from and where are you going to?
Me: Flying from London to Toronto
Yank: From where?
Me: London
Yank: Sorry, where?
Me: London
Yank: Could you spell that?
Me: L-O-N-D-O-N
Yank: Which state?
Me: The UK. *sigh*
Yank: Where?
Me: ENGLAND
Yank: And where you going to?
Me: Toronto
Yank: Sorry?
Me: TORONTO. T-O-R-O-N-T-O
Yank: Which state?
Me: CANADA!
Yank: You need a car to go from England to Canada?
Me: No, from Toronto to Peterborough
Yank: Peter’s Barrel?
Me: PETERBOROUGH, ONTARIO, CANADA, I NEED TO HIRE A CAR TO DRIVE FROM TORONTO, CANADA TO PETERBOROUGH, ONTARIO, CANADA!!
Yank: Driving to where?
Me: Goodbye
UNBELIEVABLE!!
