5 Steps That Will Give You The Perfect Car Hire

By Martin Elmer

There's more to renting the car than just reserving it and paying for it. So to make sure that you get the best deal, you should following those 5 steps:

1. Choose three to four car rental firms that fit your wants and needs. Do this either through the phonebook, or through the internet. Remember to scan every possible firm before you make a choice. You don't want to overlook the best car rental because you got bored from looking.

2. Contact the agency and ask about their special offers, location, availability, pickup sites, rates, special rates, hotel and airline partnerships, extra charges and insurance. In short ask for everything you can think of that can help lower what you have to pay for your car rental; or what would make the car rental more convenient for you.

3. Choose a pickup point; find one that is near you so it won't be a hassle. Some car rental companies pay for the cab ride you have to take, some pick you up at your home or at the airport to take you to your rental.

4. Pick a car, depending on your needs. Find a car that could fit all the people you'll have in it, and if you're alone just use a compact, because some rentals charge higher for larger vehicles.

5. When you have decided which car to rent, you must remember to book it. Some agencies put the reservation fee on the overall rent, while other makes it out as an extra fee. Always look of for this when renting a car.

So basically you should choose a car rental agency, ask the right questions, find a good pickup point, pick a good car model and finally reserve it. If you follow those five steps, you can be pretty sure to get a car rental that you will be satisfied with. - 31505
