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. .
