How To Find The Best Deals On A Car Rental
from: Ken SnoddyYou're headed out on vacation and are debating whether to rent a
car for your time away from home. Even if you're driving to your
vacation spot, a car rental can be a prudent investment, but
there are some steps you can take to make the most of your car
rental dollar.
Shop, shop, shop. The Internet is one of the best things that
could ever have happened to comparison shopping. It takes only a
little time and effort to get prices, terms and conditions for
almost any product or service you can imagine, and a car rental
is no exception. Start your shopping as early as possible
because some car rental services will give you discounts for
early reservations.
Shopping early will also help you plan your trip because you'll
have an accurate idea of what you're going to be spending on
your car rental. That's much better than being blindsided by a
price you can't afford that will put your entire trip in
jeopardy.
Beware of contracts and terms. Any car rental company is going
to require a contract. This is equally true of the legitimate
companies and those that are less-than-scrupulous. But you
should never sign a contract without reading it carefully. Yes,
it will take some time. Take it to a chair, sit down and read.
You may think there's really no need to read the entire
contract. After all, the nice sales clerk has assured you that
you'll owe only $29 when you return the car, and that IS what
the company advertises on television. But the reality is that
the contract overrides both the advertisement and the contract.
If the contract calls for a $29 base fee with a surcharge of $2
per mile for every mile you drive, that's what you'll owe at the
end of your trip.
When you pick up your car, check the odometer. Even though
they'll assure you that they read the odometer and that this is
the mileage indicated, you should check for yourself. If you're
paying a "per mile" fee, even a few miles difference could be
costly.
Be wary of handing out personal information to a car rental
company online. Taking care of the business online is convenient
and often a great way to save time. Just the same, take time to
read the company's privacy policy and beware of handing out
personal information such as credit card numbers and bank
account numbers to companies that you've never heard of. Be sure
you're dealing with a legitimate car rental company before you
pay.
