Renting a car can be a frustrating experience and high stress, if you do not know the ropes. These few simple tips can make it easier.
# Tips for saving money:
# Book your online rental, hire, many companies have online specials.
# Book your rental in the same time that you book your flight or hotel, package prices are usually discounted.
Rent a # 2,3 or 5 days or week-long package, packages are usually priced lower.
# Many landlords offer the possibility of returning the car without filling the gas tank ... You do this by selling you the full tank of gas in the vehicle at the time of rental. If you are sure that with more than one tank of gas, and you will be a price per gallon, which is lower than the prevailing price per gallon in the area, you could be a few dollars, and have less trouble returning your vehicle.
# How do you want with your insurance?
The rental agent will try very hard to sell the cover of it ... which is usually a very expensive form of temporary insurance.
# You have other options ... the least expensive solution is to tell them that your personal or business car for you. Before you before this, make sure that you with your insurance agent to make sure exactly what you need cover.
# Many credit cards are some rental car insurance ..., you must use the card to pay for your rent, and make sure you understand what is and what the limits are.
# Miscellaneous Tips.
# The type or model of car you reserved is not available ... what can you do? This could be a bait and switch tactics, or they may only have the larger models overcrowded ... it is also an opportunity to use your negotiating skills. I accept the standard practice is to upgrade to the next level ... when it is offered at the same rate ... I might suggest that we split rate, or I may refuse to complete the transaction and go elsewhere.
# If your car breaks down to be sure that you adhere to the 800-number in the rule for the service or emergency road ... if you do not call them first, they may not be what you spend.
# If you find that you left some items in the car when you are in. .. do not panic, call the rental place where you went out of the car, they have determined that your position and will usually send it to you.
# Always make sure you have a credit card with you, car rental companies may have their checks, but they will never rent a car for cash.
