A Quick Guide to Rental Cars
Rental cars can be a necessity; their use can save lots of time
and aggravation. However, the actual act of renting them can
seem to be a test in patience. There are forms to be filled out,
questions to be answered and signatures to be signed. Before you
sign on the dotted line, be sure you know exactly what you are
getting and giving for your rental car.
If you have personal auto insurance, call your agent to see if
you are insured with a rental car as well. This will allow you
to save money by turning down the insurance offered by the
rental company at the time of vehicle pick up.
Be sure to read the contract and ask questions about anything
that you do not understand. It's better to take sometime at the
counter or on the phone to pin down the details, than to think
you got it and have to deal with the company in the event of an
accident. Ask questions!
You will want to ask about procedures that may be required by
the rental company. Many companies require that the car be
fueled up before its return, if this is not done, they will
charge you extra for it. It may also be in your best interest to
ask what the fee would be if the car is needed for longer than
expected as well as what the rate is for late drop off.
The first step involved in obtaining a rental car is to do
research on the companies in your local area. There are a number
of nation wide companies and more than likely local companies to
choose from when conducting your research. Try to narrow them
down to three or four companies that are closest to either your
pick up location or your destination.
