Penske truck rental site does not work in opera
http://www.pensketruckrental.com/Tried with opera9.5RC but I think issue might be same for other versions.
says browser not supported. mask as firefox lets you in the site but seems menus are mixed up little bit. So definitely site problem that need to be fixed by the penske but opera might need to find a fix sooner using browser.js or contacting them.
Can anyone confirm similar problem?

Confirmed. Their browser sniffer dates from 2001! The latest Opera it recognizes is v5. In any case, the only browsers allowed in are IE5.5 or later and Netscape 6 or later. The sniffer is coded to ensure that Opera is not "accidently" identified as IE or Netscape, hence why you need to Mask.
Opera doesn't need browser.js to fix this, just an addition to override_downloaded.ini.
What is the menus problem? There are no drop-down menus I can see. With masking I see no difference between Opera and Firefox.

try putting us zip code 20202(for example) in the one-way rental box and go to next step. you will see some overlapping menus.

That's down to invalid HTML code. Not far into the code is "<div id="topnav">" and after that is a table with a form inside:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <form action="/search.html" method="get"> ... </form> </table>The only elements allowed immediately inside tables are tr's, thead's, tbody's and tfoot's. Re-arranging the code to:
<form action="/search.html" method="get"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> ... </table> </form>Produces the expected rendering.

I'll just mention the same table/form mistake is present on the very front page (the link you gave in your first post), and in fact seems to appear on every page on their site(s).
Also, for future reference, the browser sniffer script is at:
http://www.pensketruckrental.com/scripts/browsercheck.js
A more up-to-date version of the script is maintained at:
http://www.webreference.com/tools/browser/javascript.html
but really the script should be removed entirely. The only purpose it serves is to turn potential customers away.
Lastly, I've been unable to find any email contacts, so I haven't reported this to them.

yes, no conatct info for website feedbac. But they have live chat about truck rental and I think will not help at all on this issue.

Does, say, Uhaul site work? If so, I'd livechat and say something like "I wanted to rent a truck, and was going to your site, but it didn't work. U-Haul did, so I rented from them. Just letting you know why you lost a customer".

Bug 316975 is filed for it. Have contacted the contact mentioned in the WHOIS page of the domain. It looks like there is no other email contact. Lets see...
