You've pretty much hit the high points Chuck. From my own experience when going overseas if I'm able to VPN to the country I'm going to, the rental car reservation is considerably less in cost to reserve that car than if I reserved it from state side. I'm assuming there is a difference between a poor native and a rich American.
Oh right, I had the hotel thing backwards. It may be cheaper if you appear to be in-country for hotels, rental cars, etc.
