Save Money On Your Car Rental
Save Money On Your Car Rental By Kyle McPeck
I've seen people spend hours upon hours trying to save $20 on
their airline ticket or hotel room for an upcoming trip only to
lose that much, if not more, on their car rental.
Don't let your guard down and be like those people. Here are
some tips and preparations on getting a great car rental deal.
· First, check your car insurance policy with your agent. Are
you covered for car rentals without purchasing additional
insurance? Also, check with your credit card companies to see if
they provide complimentary rental car insurance if you use their
card for the rental. Many do but do not advertise the fact
heavily.
· Check for package deals with whomever you booked your airline
tickets or hotel through. Be careful, package deals are not
always cheaper. You should always price all elements of your
deal separately to ensure you are getting a deal over booking
them separately.
· Before reserving a car, you will want to know if your pickup
and dropoff will be at the same location. Some companies charge
more for rentals at the airport as well. Consider hopping a
shuttle or taxi to rent from an off-site car rental company.
But, make sure you can easily get back to the airport if you
need to depart from there.
· Are there any discount programs that you qualify for? Examples
might be AAA or AARP. Affinity programs from organizations you
belong to as well as deals from credit card companies, frequent
flyer clubs, or possibly even your employer. Sometimes,
corporate discounts carry over even on leisure travel.
· Always consider the cost of your insurance waiver (if needed)
and mileage in the total cost of
your car rental. Taxes and fees
can also quickly turn an excellent car rental deal into an
expensive lesson in the meaning of "out the door" pricing.
· Refuel the car to where it was before returning it. If you
think gas prices are normally high wait until you have to pay
the "rental car company" rate to refuel.
· When picking up a car you must inspect the car for damage and
note it with an employee in writing before leaving the lot. You
do not want to be liable for unnoticed damage that occurs before
you picked up the car.
· Another rule of thumb is that business-oriented car rental
locations have better weekend rates generally while
leisure-oriented locations have cheaper weekday rates.
· Book the smallest car you will need and hope (and ask) for a
free size upgrade. They are often available. But, do not count
on an upgrade and undersize your reservation.
· Use coupons liberally but read the exceptions closely to
ensure you meet the qualifications.
· If your trip is going to last 5 days or longer consider a
weekly rate rather than a daily rate. Often, day 6 and 7 of a
weekly rate end up being free when priced at the weekly rate.
Some car companies are wising up to this trick and charging
penalties if you bring the car back early so check ahead of any
restrictions.
· Finally, know the "going rate" for your car rental and don't
be afraid to pull the trigger when you find the right deal.
