Budget car rental online: Save money by booking ahead

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

Car rental costs can vary wildly from city to city and agency to agency. To get the best car for your money, try these top tips and drive away happy.

Book ahead!

Car rental agencies like nothing better than a weary traveler who hasn’t planned ahead. By stepping up to the desk unprepared, an agent will put you in the car best for his business, rather than yours. By hiring online — and we love the way Budget handles this — you know you’ll get the right car. Plus, booking weekly can save you a bundle, sometimes up to 30%!

Avoid hidden fees!

Even using rental car coupons, surprise costs can empty your wallet fast. Hiring your car online puts all fees right in front of you, rather than slipping them in after the initial face-to-face quote. Also, be sure to check return times— costs can soar depending on the hour you return your keys.

Save time and hassle!

Your time is expensive. Booking online saves time and fast-tracks you through the car rental process, freeing up your valuable time. Print your reservation details from the site, present them to the agent at the desk, and you’ll have keys in your hand in no time.

Compare before you commit!

There are dozens of cheap car rental agencies out there all competing for your business. Start with an internet search for your destination plus car rental. Pick half a dozen and compare their rates. Be sure to check for unlimited mileage, insurance, and roadside assistance!

Ask around!

Chances are, you know people who have rented cars. Businesses often have preferred rent-a-car agencies but if you need to make the choice yourself, ask the opinions of people you trust.
