Budget Car Rental
If you are someone who travels a great deal then perhaps it is time you considered budget car rental; true, taxis can be convenient as well but that's only when you do not have to be anywhere particular in a hurry and don't mind the high cost of each journey. The problem is finding a company that doesn't rent budget cars, you know, the sort that sound like they should be mowing the lawn. I am not trying to put you off renting a car, just making sure you are aware that some companies will try to rent you something that will not be suitable. So, just to help with your rental car experience, I have made a written down a few pointers to help. I have found that budget car rental using the internet as a resource is a good way to find a low cost car because some sites let you set a limit on what you are prepared to pay. Some of these sites are just comparison sites but well worth your time as they have done all the hard work for you. If you are lucky and decide to book a fly-drive deal for instance, then you may find the rental company has upgraded your vehicle but this is less likely if you book with the airline themselves. Unfortunately, airlines although convenient aren't really the more economic way to go, their car rental prices are hardly budget, and tend to be higher than those of outside firms. There are bargains to be found on the internet and that also means budget car rental as well. Often the discounts you are offered are only available to online customers. If you see an offer that looks good, you do not have to take the first one that comes your way because if one car rental company has a special offer on, then they probably won't be the only one. Another thing to consider is the ease with which you can rent a car without leaving the comfort of your house. Don't forget to ask for any special offers if you are making a booking over the phone because if you do not ask, you are less likely to be given a discount and you may even find your credit card company has incentives with particular budget car rental agencies. The frequent flyer program is still available or perhaps you are a member of an organization that has preferential rates arranged. The only problem you may find is that a rental car may not have been looked after with the same care as a more reputable company. There may some damage which you do not want to be liable for. In addition, try to check out all the accessories, wipers, radio, brakes, seat belts etc, to familiarize yourself with them, and also to check if they work, like the previous tip, you might be charged for this if you don't inform them. Before you decide to use the rental company's insurance plans, take a look at your own policy as you will probably find that it covers rental car insurance as well. Rental car insurance doesn't cost much, but if you already have one why buy another; whatever the case, you must still have insurance cover when you rent a car so don't try and skip it to save money.
