Car Rental Services - How To Find The Best Rate - Articles Surfing

Renting a car allows you the flexibility and independence to sightsee and roam wherever you are vacationing. Whether you regularly rent cars or just occasionally from car rental agencies, make sure to do some research and comparison and you will be able to rent a car at a great rate.

Consult these following tips to get the most of your car rental:

Beware Of Hidden Costs Within Your Car Rental Charges

Do not get overexcited when you think you have gotten a good rate; if your car rental rate seems to be too cheap to be true, it most likely is. You will soon be disillusioned as soon as you see the extra charges add up, such as the sales taxes, airport surcharges, insurance fees, licensing fees and what not, and it is only then that you come to realize all the hidden cost behind the seemingly cheap rate.

Compare Rental Car Rates Online

Surfing on the internet is a good way to compare all the various rates offered by car rental services. You can also take advantage of discounts offered online by many major car rental companies. Be sure to go through every term and condition carefully before renting the car online. Also be sure of the restrictions that the rental car company is imposing on using their car. However, shop around for good bargains before jumping on any deal.

Basic Rule Of Renting

One important factor that influences your rental car charges is how long you are going to rent the car. If you are going to rent the car for less than a week, then it is a good idea to rent the car from a major car rental company such as Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National or Thrifty etc. On the other hand, if you are going to rent the car for a longer stretch of time, it may be a good idea to approach a smaller scale car rental agency, as they may be more willing to offer a more competitive rate than their bigger competitors. Auto dealers particularly offer good rates in these situations.

On the other hand, though you may have gotten a better discount from smaller rental car services, do not expect the same level of service and support offered by the major agencies as their nationwide support service is generally not as good. So if your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, it is up to you to arrange for towing and repair. So be aware that if you want to save on your rental fee you have to take this risk.
