We have arranged car rental discounts with Avis.  To obtain the discounts call toll free (800) 331-1600 and give them the Avis Worldwide Discount [AWD] code: J953409.  You will receive discounts on daily, weekend, and weekly auto rentals.

And look, as much as we know you all want to stay with us, that just can't happen.  So here are a few Charlotte hotels that can fit all budgets.  All of these hotels are in downtown Charlotte and convenient to the wedding and reception venues (and even to our house!).

In order to get the negotiated rates please mention that you are part of the Gerritsen-Butler wedding party!

The Charlotte Marriott City Center is at the intersection of Trade (the gray street below) and Tryon (the red street below).  This is the "traditional" center of downtown.  All hotels are about 100 yards from each other.  The coolest city attractions are on Tryon Street between the Marriott City Center and the Dunhill.
