Travel Advice on Car Rental Deals
September 10th, 2008Renting a car can either make a vacation tons of fun or just plain miserable. It is the same way for just renting a car for any occasion. When considering going on any of type of trip you may want to consider renting a car, just to make your trip easier than in your own vehicle.
When it comes to making the right choice on renting a car for your trip, you may consider talking to your travel agent if going through one to find out the best possible car to rent and the best deal that you could get on a vehicle. When it comes to using a travel agent they may be able to save you money on your rental purchase. They may also know if some type of promotions are running in and around the time frame that you are going to be traveling that are not going to be posted to the public, just travel agencies.
There are a couple of different types of way that places will charge their customers their rental rates. Usually the most popular type is daily rate with a mileage rate charge. This means that you are charges a daily fee for the car and also whatever mileage that you put on the car you are going to be charged a certain amount for what you put on the car. Another type of rental rate that you may be charged will be a daily rate this charged along with a certain amount of mileage they are not going to be charging you for. This is one of the better ways to rent your car. It basically means that you will be charged a daily rate along with only having to pay for a certain amount of mileage. You have to pay for some mileage but not all of it. This rate is usually charged when you will not be taking the car on a very long trip, just general use. You can also get a deal where mileage is charged over an extended period of time. This usually is quite a large amount that will probably be due monthly or when you return the car.

August 22nd, 2008Need to hire a car for your next trip? For a hassle-free trip, these practical tips on saving money, understanding your rental agreement and avoiding problems with your car rental, might just help you have the holiday you’ve been hoping for.
Prior and during Booking
Think carefully about what kind of vehicle you’ll need. If you’re traveling with children or with a lot of luggage, you may want to rent a station wagon. If it’s just for you and another person, rather go for a smaller model which uses less petrol.
Surf the Internet and compare rates from various suppliers in the calm of your home. You can go direct with reliable car rental companies or often better, use a car rental broker working with trustworthy car rental companies. Some car hire broker use what is called Dynamic Pricing. Everyday they compare the rates of the market and adapt pricing accordingly to offer best rates and often a Price guarantee. However if you get a good offer, book immediately as rates may change at any stage. Always make sure you compare apples to apples as some offers do not show inclusions and exclusions and you may up paying much more than you think. Always ask for all details and extra applicable costs of the offer. Some car hire companies offer one free extra driver, some even more. Some charge extra for additional insurance options. The list can be long, insist on a detailed offer showing all charges and services.
Rates are typically cheaper on weekends. If you are flexibility with your rental needs, opt for weekend rental. You can save often around 20, sometimes even more. Read the rest of "More rental car tips"»
